[redacted] who occupied the front passenger seat, and a female known only as [redacted] who occupied the back passenger seat, were also present in the vehicle. After [redacted] passed several double-parked cars, he noticed an unmarked van behind him honking its horn. [redacted] pulled over and two officers, identified by the investigation as Det. Darrel O'Neill and PO Christopher Vanweddinger, exited the van and approached [redacted]'s vehicle (Allegations A and B). Det. O'Neill opened the door on the driver's side, grabbed [redacted] by his throat with his right hand and applied pressure to his larynx (Allegation C). Approximately four to five seconds later, Det. O'Neill released his grip on [redacted]'s larynx, took a slice of pizza from [redacted]'s hand and threw it on the floor of the car (Allegation D). Det. O'Neill called [redacted] \"a fucking asshole\" and said that he could take [redacted]'s \"fucking car\" (Allegations E and F). PO Vanweddinger also said that they could take [redacted]'s \"fucking car\" (Allegations G and H). The officers then left.","id":201409014,"updated_date":"2025-10-02T13:04:00.971Z","url":"https://www.50-a.org/complaint/201409014"}
