The final police disciplinary case to arise from the death of Eric Garner was brought to a close Wednesday when the sergeant who had arrived on the scene as officers pressed Garner to the ground made a deal to forfeit 20 vacation days and keep her job.

The agreement to let the sergeant, Kizzy Adonis, 42, avoid a public tribunal came two days after the New York City police commissioner fired Officer Daniel Pantaleo for using a banned chokehold on Garner that led to the unarmed man’s death in 2014.

The acceptance of the plea from Adonis, who had been charged with multiple counts of “failure to supervise,” meant that after five years and two criminal investigations, only two of the dozen or so officers involved in the arrest and its aftermath have faced a penalty for Garner’s death.

Adonis was the only other officer charged with breaking Police Department rules during Garner’s arrest, even though police officials, prosecutors and Garner’s family have raised questions about the conduct of several others, including officers who testified in Pantaleo’s defense at his trial in May.

Garner was one of several unarmed black men who died in encounters with white police officers in 2014, igniting nationwide protests and fueling the Black Lives Matter movement.

Adonis pleaded guilty to the disciplinary charges this week, after the police commissioner found fault with her handling of the encounter, according to an official who requested anonymity to discuss the case because police disciplinary matters are confidential.

The official did not specify in what way Commissioner James P. O’Neill was critical of Adonis, who was seen in video of the encounter standing in the background. He did not blame her for Pantaleo’s use of the chokehold, nor for the delay in getting medical attention to aid Garner, who was 43, the official said.

Adonis arrived after Pantaleo had tackled Garner from behind and while he and other officers were pressing Garner down on the pavement. The officers had arrested him because they suspected he was selling loose cigarettes. A store owner overheard her telling the officers, “Let up, you got him already.”

Adonis, a 17-year-veteran, could not be reached for comment. Her labor union, the Sergeants Benevolent Association, scheduled a news conference Thursday.
