A sergeant who was called for backup during the NYPD’s takedown of Eric Garner was charged with failure to supervise nearly a year and a half later, police sources said.

Sgt. Kizzy Adonis, of the 120th Precinct, was stripped of her gun and badge on Friday morning and placed on modified duty in order to comply with a disciplinary statute requiring that charges are filed within 18 months after the incident, the NYPD said.

Charges against Adonis were put on hold pending a federal probe into the case that is still ongoing, the NYPD said.

Adonis was called by Officer Daniel Pantaleo on July 17, 2014, as the officer was attempting to arrest the 43-year-old asthmatic diabetic for peddling “loosie” cigarettes on Staten Island.

The officer was disciplined because “In the video [of Garner] that people see of the takedown, the sergeant is standing in the background doing nothing,” a police source said. “Her role as a sergeant is to take charge of the situation and supervise. She was supposed to take charge.”

The sergeant is not under any criminal investigation in regards to the incident, police said.

Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, blasted Commissioner William Bratton and called it a “bull—-” charge.

“The only one who should be charged with failure to supervise is Commissioner Bratton. He was in charge of the NYPD during the Garner incident and ultimately bears the responsibility of failed policies that lead to the enforcement of an act that sadly caused the death of Eric Garner. Bratton’s actions are nothing more than political pandering and a failure in leadership and character,” Mullins said.
