The case dates back to Boxing Day of 2012, when ASP Antonio Rosado stopped a vehicle driven by mailman Lloyd Dyer with his brother police Corporal Edward Castillo in the passenger seat. The insurance on the car was expired and when the ASP ordered them to exit the vehicle so that it could be impounded, Corporal Castillo refused the ASP's order and took over the wheel. He then ordered his brother to get back into the car and sped off.

But they were eventually charged with one count each of obstruction, one count each of drove motor vehicle not covered by third party risk insurance, while Corporal Castillo was additionally charged alone with the little used offense of "rescued a person to be charged for an offense" - basically taking his brother from the scene.

In their defense, Cpl. Castillo and his brother testified that they did take the vehicle to the Raccoon Street Police but claim that they waited there for 5 minutes and no one came to them so they left.
