STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- On orders of the NYPD's Staten Island borough commander, police allegedly fixed a broken headlight and the ticket connected with it for the mother of chokehold victim Eric Garner, according to the New York Post.

Gwen Carr, Garner's mother, was pulled over on the night of Oct. 21 on Staten Island for having a busted headlight on her 2006 Kia Sedona, the Post said

Ms. Carr allegedly contacted Assistant Chief Edward Delatorre, the NYPD's borough commander for Staten Island, that night to complain, according to the Post.

At Delatorre's direction, a lieutenant and a sergeant fixed the busted headlight and gave Ms. Carr the papers needed to void the summons that could have resulted in a fine of up to $150, the Post said.

Garner, 43, died on July 17 after he was put into a chokehold by police during an arrest for selling lose cigarettes in Tompkinsville.
