NYPD cop loses badge after texting, dating DWI bust who ended up with black eye

The Bronx DA’s office and the Internal Affairs Bureau launched probes after Erica Noonan told authorities that she blacked out after a March 24 dinner and drinking date with Officer Carlos. She gave investigators more than 600 text messages the pair exchanged beginning three days after he busted her for DWI.

An NYPD highway cop is expected to be charged for allegedly wining and dining a Bronx woman he arrested for drunken driving, the Daily News has learned.

Officer Carlos Becker was stripped of his badge and gun last month and is facing criminal charges for the alleged misconduct, according to two sources familiar with the case.

The Bronx district attorney’s office and the Internal Affairs Bureau launched probes after the 30-year-old woman, Erica Noonan, reported to authorities that she blacked out after a March 24 dinner date with the cop at a Westchester County sushi restaurant followed by drinking in a Bronx bar.

She woke up fully dressed in Becker’s bedroom sporting a swollen black eye, sources said.

Cops are prohibited from associating with people they arrest to prevent the practice or appearance of illegally influencing the criminal case.

Noonan turned over to investigators more than 600 text messages she exchanged with Becker beginning March 14 — three days after he busted her for DWI.

In the series of personal messages, the lovesick officer asked her out on dates, offered to cook her dinner, ran a computer check on her driver’s license and claimed he had ordered a mini-police shield for her to carry in her wallet.

“I will help you out … Have no fear carlito is here!!! Lol,” Becker texted March 19.

Noonan’s lawyer, Eric Sanders, said she was going public and planned to file a lawsuit to “empower herself as well as other silent victims to assert their civil rights against police abuse and misconduct.”

Becker, 36, began putting the moves on Noonan, an occupational therapist, immediately after arresting her March 11 on West Fordham Road.

“I say lets get waisted (sic) and laugh all night ... WE SHOULD GO TO ATLANTIC CITY AND GAMBLE … I’m trying to do something nice to take ur mind off of things,” he texted March 15.

“He made me feel like he wanted to help me, he wanted to help me out like a damsel in distress,” Noonan told the Daily News. “He shouldn’t be working as a police officer. He’s using his job for negative things especially against women.”

They finally met for dinner at Haiku restaurant in Mamaroneck, where Noonan had two drinks with dinner, then several shots of tequila in the Bronx.

Noonan recalls little of what happened after getting into Becker’s car: resting her head against the window and crossing a bridge. Then she woke up in his bedroom in Long Island. She was gasping for air and couldn’t see out of her left eye.

“He was sitting on the couch watching TV,” Noonan recalled. “I said, ‘What happened to my eye?’ and he was very nonchalant. He said, ‘You fell. Don’t you remember falling?’”

In a brief telephone interview Tuesday, Becker declined to comment.

“I really don’t want to talk about it over the phone,” Becker said before hanging up. His lawyer could not be reached for comment.

Steve Reed, a spokesman for the Bronx district attorney’s office, declined to comment on the case.

Noonan’s misdemeanor DWI case is still pending in Bronx Criminal Court.

I wonder if she also got donkey punched?!

[Pyramid_Head]

Don't you just love cops.

[rapeWhistle]

I don't see the problem here, that's exactly how i met my wife.

[invertigo]

That guy definitely strikes me as creepy
On the upside, I wouldn't mind the chance to give a drunk driver a black eye

[Megamel29]

He shouldn't have tried to have a personal relationship with someone he pulled over.

However, how do we know he gave her the black eye? If she was drinking a lot of tequila, it is possible that she fell and gave herself a black eye. I have enough experience with drunk people to know it can and does happen. The liquor could also explain why she passed out.

next time suck the dick and you will not get a black eye

[Faline]

Crazy fucker.
