Tim Pearson, a dismissed adviser to Mayor Eric Adams, faced scrutiny after an incident at a migrant shelter where he forcibly encountered security guards. A Department of Investigation report found Pearson 'abused his authority' during the clash, disregarding requests for identification and violently pushing guards. Despite witnesses and video evidence indicating unacceptable conduct, no repercussions were recommended for Pearson, who departed City Hall amid a larger corruption investigation into the Adams administration.
"His conduct, as evidenced by witness statements and Body Worn Camera footage that DOI reviewed, fell far below our most basic expectations for public servants."
"You don't know who the f-k I am?" he yelled, then shoved his way past the first guard into the shelter's lobby, where he was approached by a female security guard who asked to see his identification, DOI said.
