An NYPD captain in Brooklyn has been placed on desk duty and is under investigation after what sources described as a scuffle with the commander of a housing police precinct over whose officers would get credit for a gun arrest, the Daily News has learned. Captain Adan Munoz, the executive officer or second-in-command of the 79th Precinct in Bedford-Stuyvesant, was modified on Sunday, a personnel order states. “The incident is under review by the Internal Affairs Bureau. The Captain’s duty status is modified,” an NYPD spokesperson said in an emailed statement. Multiple sources with knowledge of the incident told The News that the brouhaha began when officers from both a 79th Precinct Neighborhood Safety Team and Housing Public Servicee Area, PSA 3, in Brooklyn North arrived at the scene of a call for a family dispute involving a firearm. The officers from PSA 3 wrestled with one of the people at the location over a bag which fell to the ground. The 79th Precinct safety team officers then found a gun in the bag. The cops from the two different commands — which overlap each other geographically — then began arguing over which unit should get the arrest, the sources said.

Captain Elton Cohn, the PSA 3 commander, instructed a sergeant with the 79th Precinct that the arrest was to be credited to his officers.
