The perpetrator then ran away. NYPD officers, including Detective Jerome, responded to the location. Instead of pursuing the perpetrator, Detective Jerome handcuffed the Plaintiff while the Plaintiff was in the ambulance, then accompanied Plaintiff to the hospital where officer Jerome proceeded to handcuff Plaintiff to his hospital bed by the arm, and shackled Plaintiffs legs, even though the Plaintiff had been shot in the leg. Plaintiff was handcuffed/shackled for more than four hours. Plaintiff had not been accused of committing any crime.  \n\nOn August 30, 2013, PO Velez and two other NYPD officers approached Plaintiff while he was outside speaking with his friends. PO Velez stated in sum and substance \"you have a warrant\". PO Velez proceeded to search Plaintiff then handcuffed him and transported him to the precinct where PO Velez subjected Plaintiff without cause or provocation to a partial strip search. PO Velez then issued Plaintiff a summons for littering despite the fact that Plaintiff did not litter during the time Plaintiff was in the presence of PO Velez. Upon information and belief, Plaintiff did not have a warrant. The littering summons was dismissed on November 27, 2013. \n\nOn May 27, 2011, Plaintiff was speaking with a couple of friends when he was approached by PO Davis and Lieutenant Jane Doe. Lieutenant Jane Doe instructed one of the other officers to search a backpack that was next to one of Plaintiff’s friends, who allegedly fit the description of a person the police was looking for. After searching the bag, all three, including Plaintiff, was asked to show ID. When Plaintiff asked why, Lieutenant Jane Doe stated in sum and substance “You want to be an ass wipe. You want to get arrested and go through the system while it's hot out.\" Subsequently, Plaintiff was handcuffed, arrested, and brought to the precinct where he was searched by PO Davis and other officers. He was given summons for disorderly conduct and spitting. The summonses were later dismissed and sealed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.356658/gov.uscourts.nyed.356658.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13139254/smith-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"id":"4FAH","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/4FAH"}
