None of the arrests were made pursuant to a warrant. On October 15, the Plaintiff participated and helped lead a protest march and stayed on the sidewalks throughout the march. The police officers present encouraged the Plaintiff to keep the marchers. . . . Nonetheless, Defendant officer Curley arrested the plaintiff and charged him with Penal Law 240.20(5) and (6). In the criminal complaint, Curley falsely claimed the Plaintiff repeatedly entered the street, caused public inconvenience and annoyed and alarmed pedestrians on the sidewalk who were not part of OWS. On October 26, 2010, Officers Waring and McNamara arrested the Plaintiff during a march where the plaintiff was again on the sidewalk. With no order to disperse from the sidewalk, the officers grabbed the Plaintiff, pulled him to the ground with his face in the sidewalk and placed flexicuffs on him. Officer Waring arrested him and falsely stated in the complaint that the plaintiff was part of a group that blocked traffic. The charges in each both instances were later dismissed.\n\nOn Nov. 8, 2011, the Plaintiff was participating meetings in Zucotti Park. Police stopped him while he was crossing the street and ordered to stand behind the metal barriers, which he did. Later, he learned that there was allegedly a suspicious package somewhere north of the Park, and asked if he could continue south to be farther away. The NYPD officer just told him to move behind the metal barrier. Plaintiff responded “I am already behind the barrier, what do you want me to do?” In response, officer Grodnick grabbed and arrested the Plaintiff, charging him with Penal law 195.05 and 240.20(6). Grodnick and police captain Traynor falsley claimed in the complaint that Traynor asked the Plaintiff to move four times and he refused. The officers also falsely stated that the Plaintiff interfered with an ongoing police investigation and, after refusing to move, told officers “this is my park.” Finally, on November 27, 2011 near Zuccotti Park Plaintiff saw that Defendant’s Winski, Det. Jose Cabrera, Defendant Manning, and other officers detained someone on the sidewalk. When walking past, he gave the detained individual a pat on the back and was instructed to stand away from the individual. The Plaintiff complied. The man under arrest asked the Plaintiff to inform his spouse he was arrested. The Plaintiff sought to hear the name of the spouse and detective Cabrera and officer manning began a physical confrontation with the plaintiff and then seized, detained, and arrested him, charging him with Penal law 195.05. Officer Manning submitted false statements saying that the Plaintiff repeatedly stepped between the officers and the arrested individual. Video footage contradicts the statement and also shows that inspector Winski was present during the interaction, pointed out the Plaintiff, and failed to intervene.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.433022.66.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4354204/vincent-v-winski/"},{"officer_name":"Traynor, Thomas P.","disposition":"Administrative Closing","start_date":"2014-11-26","disposition_date":"2016-03-29","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","docket":"14CV08501","name":"Trujillo, Marco vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":0,"summary":"Plaintiff was a Sergeant within the NYPD for 22 years.
