(Phoenix) –The office of Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell has announced the indictment of Rudy Gomez (DOB 09/93). Gomez now faces eight felony counts including three counts of aggravated assault, class three felonies; four counts of endangerment, class six dangerous felonies; and one count of assault, a class one misdemeanor.*
On April 30, 2023, Phoenix Police Officer George Manciu was assaulted after the officer responded to a domestic violence call in Central Phoenix. The assault was captured on body-worn camera.
“As a community, we should be deeply concerned by the increase in violence directed at our men and women in law enforcement,” said County Attorney Rachel Mitchell. “Next week marks the start of National Police Week. It is the ideal time to acknowledge those who put their lives in danger to protect us, and to thank them for their courageous service. Every week should be Police Week.”
*A charge in a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
