Plaintiff was then tightly handcuffed, and his handcuffs were not loosened despite his complaints, and he was imprisoned in a police vehicle and taken to the 121st Precinct. Plaintiff was imprisoned and charged based on false allegations purported by defendant officer Joseph Perfetto.

These false charges were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal and immediately dismissed and sealed in Richmond County Criminal Court.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.362221/gov.uscourts.nyed.362221.13.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13139953/mccrimon-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Espinal, Kevin vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-10-20","disposition_date":"2015-07-20","payout_amount":10000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV06006","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Riviello, Robert","summary":"On May 17, 2014, Kevin Espinal was selling a pair of shorts to his friend Tyrese.
