When Plaintiff exited the store he saw an MTA employee he was distantly familiar with being followed by a man yelling threats and holding a box cutter. When Plaintiff asked if the MTA employee if he was okay the man with the knife turned and began to threaten Plaintiff. Plaintiff was walking to his motorcycle so he could leave when POs John Doe 1 & 2 arrived and Plaintiff informed them what had occurred. A PO asked to search Plaintiff and Plaintiff declined, though Plaintiff did provide his identification on request. Plaintiff was told he had to remain at the scene until a supervisor came. \n\nPOs Luckie, Gaston, and Soto shortly arrived, and PO Luckie told POs Gaston and Soto that Plaintiff should be locked up because he likes to sue, and ordered the other POs to search Plaintiff and take his motorcycle. POs Gaston and Soto illegally did so and discovered a utility knife on Plaintiff's person. Plaintiff was then falsely arrested for possessing a gravity knife. Plaintiff was taken to the 45th Precinct as POs impounded Plaintiff's motorcycle without justification. Plaintiff was put in a holding cell and remained there as other arrestees, including the man who had threatened him with a box cutter, were taken to go before a judge and released hours before Plaintiff. POs held Plaintiff's motorcycle and refused to return it for 4 days, and when Plaintiff's wife arrived at the precinct POs refused to release Plaintiff's belongings to her. These unlawful actions were undertaken by POs in retaliation for Plaintiff's earlier complaint against POS Luckie and Quirk because they engaged in intentional endangerment of Plaintiff ad his daughter. Plaintiff was injured as a result of this incident.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=LQIhMz4bLhwulpux3e9U9A==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Trotter, Rachele vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-01-09","disposition_date":"2014-06-18","payout_amount":12500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV00136","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Quirk, James","summary":"On January 14, 2013, Plaintiff had an altercation with staff at a comedy club about a drink order and her behavior.  Plaintiff was roughly escorted from the club, whereupon staff took her passport (which was never returned).  Police officers including Defendant James Quirk arrived and indicated they wanted to speak to Plaintiff, but she stated the incident was over and began walking home.  Plaintiff had turned away when she was suddenly and without warning tackled from behind by a police officer.  This broke Plaintiff’s glasses and bruised her face, and then her arms were violently pulled behind her back to be tightly handcuffed.  Plaintiff was transported to the 6th Precinct.  There she was escorted to a bathroom, but before relieving herself the escorting female officer threw Plaintiff against a wall, further injuring her.  Plaintiff was strapped to a gurney and transported to the hospital for treatment.  Plaintiff was eventually arraigned on multiple assault charges on January 15.
