An NYPD officer who has been arrested twice for alleged brutality is now facing new accusations of firing a pistol into waters off Long Beach while off-duty.

Long Beach police say they responded to reports of shots fired early Sunday morning around 6 a.m. near Franklin Boulevard and Ocean Beach Park.

Detectives says say David Afanador, 39, was found firing several rounds into the ocean. Police say he had a loaded gun and three high-capacity magazines.

Police say Afanador was not allowed to carry a gun because of his previous arrests.

Police say Afanador also gave the gun to one of the people he was with -- Jennifer Sonnick of Long Beach -- and they say she also shot the gun into the water.

The NYPD confirmed that Afandor is suspended without pay from the department and isn't allowed to carry or use a gun.

Afanador was also arrested in June 2020 for allegedly using an illegal chokehold on a Black man on Rockaway Beach Boulevard. The NYPD officer was also acquitted in 2016 on charges that he pistol-whipped a teen suspect, breaking two of his teeth.

Afanador and Sonnick went before a judge Monday, and were both charged with criminal possession of a weapon and prohibited use of a weapon.
