Sandra Bland arresting trooper Brian Encinia personnel file obtained by ABC7 I-Team | abc7chicago.com: The 30-year old Trooper Encinia is now on administrative duty for violating department policy during this traffic stop. Texas public safety officials say when Encinia pulled over Illinois driver Sandra Bland, he was rude and failed to de-escalate a confrontational situation, at one point threatening her with a stun gun.

According to his file, Encinia had only one disciplinary mention during his trooper evaluation period for what is termed "unprofessional conduct" during an incident at a school in Austin, Texas; an incident for which he received written counseling and was required to have periodic supervision. The nature and circumstances of the unprofessional conduct are not disclosed.

Despite this conduct that some believe contributed to Bland's suicide three days later, Trooper Encinia's review report cites numerous positive attributes exhibited during his evaluation.
