The officers charged at Wright and piled on top of her, inhibiting her breathing, and then yanked her from the ground by her arms and transported her to NYPD's 7th Precinct. The officers did not have a warrant for Ms. Wright's arrest and did not have individualized probable cause to seize, detain, or arrest her. Despite this incident taking place during the COVID-19 pandemic, the officers mocked Ms. Wright for requesting that they wear masks while sitting in an enclosed environment with her. \n\nMs. Wright was held overnight until she was eventually released with a Desk Appearance Ticket. During her detention, Ms. Wright was searched three separate times by NYPD officers. Ms. Wright's case was ultimately dismissed by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. The incident resulted in physical and motional injury to Ms. Wright.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=lNGmQmdjY_PLUS_kf029RvYAG6A==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"David, Ashton vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2021-08-18","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"520849/2021","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","summary":"On October 14, 2019, Plaintiff was inside his vehicle that was parked in the area of the intersection of Patchen Avenue and Halsey Street in Kings County, when Defendants NYPD officers Gregory Baluzy, Thomas Peters, Yuriy Demchenko, Kevin Mulhern, Vivian Gavilanes and John or Jane Doe-1-10 illegally stopped Plaintiff's vehicle. The defendants unlawfully questioned plaintiff about illegal activity without a reason and they physically restrained and removed Plaintiff by handcuffing him and putting him in substantial pain. The Defendants entered the car unlawfully and fabricated observations such as that Plaintiff possessed a forged license plate in order to justify the illegal search and seizure of Plaintiff. Defendants falsely arrested and imprisoned Plaintiff without probable cause. Defendants forcibly took Plaintiff to the 81st precinct, made Plaintiff fear for his physical well being and put him in apprehension of immediate harmful or offensive touching, and subjected Plaintiff to immediate harmful or offensive touching and battered him without consent. At the precinct the defendants criminally processed the plaintiff. Defendants had no probable cause and illegally interrogated Plaintiff and threatened him with a protracted criminal prosecution and imprisonment if he did not give false evidence against Defendant's intended target and suspect. Defendants also sent fabricated evidence to prosecutors and they suppressed exculpatory evidence from prosecutors such as that the possession of a forged license plate was found pursuant to an unlawful search of Plaintiff even though the defendants knew that Plaintiff did not commit any crimes. Defendants tried to have a criminal prosecution against the plaintiff in order to use Plaintiff's arrest to lure their true target and to get additional benefits and overtime compensation. Defendants also relied on and discriminated against Plaintiff because of his race, color, national origin etc. Some of the defendants were present but did not actively participate in the unlawful conduct but they failed to intervene and prevent the conduct.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=/S7BsYPMROMfLboLwfcYdQ==","type":"complaint"}]}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/4B8H-gregory-baluzy.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"105606","regular":"105305","overtime":"7620","other":"12217","total":"125142"},"socials":[{"url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-baluzy","type":"linkedin"}],"id":"4B8H","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/4B8H"}
