Biography[]
Lieutenant McCarthy was involved in an incident where he ordered an emotionally disturbed person to be tasered to subdue them for arrest. However when the suspect was tasered, they fell into incoming traffic and were hit by a vehicle. Lieutenant McCarthy did not order the traffic to be stopped. Due to increasing pressure from the Mayor's Office, media and his own guilt, Lieutenant McCarthy drove under the influence. As a result of this action, he was involved in an accident. Later at a press briefing in One Police Plaza, Lieutenant McCarthy was declared to be in critical condition with injuries to his head, neck and spine.
