Phoenix Cop Faces Lawsuit and Fallout | Phoenix News

Phoenix cop Antonio Felix, already fired and arrested over a controversial 2026 traffic stop, now faces a lawsuit after allegedly swerving into oncoming traffic in his police SUV in August 2023 — the Uber driver claims he was blinded by lack of lights and forced into a crash. Felix counters the claim, saying he was driving slowly and the other driver illegally cut him off. The city denies wrongdoing, though the Uber driver sought medical care. With damages under $50K and an arbitration hearing set for September 2026, Phoenix officials are urging anyone with info to come forward — even anonymously — as they investigate whether this is part of a pattern, while pledging to learn from the incident to prevent future harm.
