The NYPD daughter of state Sen. Ruben Diaz — sister of the Bronx Borough President — pled guilty today to harassment for keying her ex-boyfriend’s car in August when he wanted to end the relationship.
Sgt. Damaris Diaz, 43, who has been with the Police Department since 1993, also agreed to pay fellow cop Edward Vasquez $841.14 for the damage and spend eight days in a domestic violence program.
“He’s (Vasquez) amendable to this resolution,” said Laura Millendorf, a Manhattan Assistant DA brought in by the Bronx DA to avoid any potential conflicts of interests given her relationship to the Albany pol and his son, Ruben Jr., the borough president.
Damaris bombarded Vasquez with threatening text messages and telephone calls after the break-up culminating in the August 25 attack on his 2005 Honda Accord. She was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and aggravated harassment.
Damaris refused to comment after guilty plea before Bronx Supreme Court Justice William McGuire.
“We are happy this is over and Sgt Diaz is looking forward to getting back to work,” her lawyer Anthony DiFiore.
