Plaintiff was hired by three individuals to drive them for the day, and made several stops. Plaintiff was driving his vehicle when he was rear ended by another vehicle, which attempted to flee the scene. Plaintiff drove in the same direction until he had to stop for traffic, when his passengers suddenly exited the vehicle. Plaintiff could not see what they were doing until they returned and directed him to make a u-turn. NYPD Officers Jonathan Katz, Alexis Soto, Muhammad Abuhaikal, and Carlos Rivera saw the u-turn and began to follow Plaintiff's vehicle. The Officers were flagged down by the hit and run driver who told the Officers three man had attempted to carjack them. The Officers cut off Plaintiff's van and approached the vehicle with their guns drawn. They ordered Plaintiff and his passengers to exit the vehicle and immediately arrested them. The victim identified Plaintiff's passengers as being involved in the alleged robbery, but not Plaintiff. Defendant Officers searched Plaintiff's vehicle and determined he was a licensed taxi driver. \nPlaintiff was then taken to the precinct, where Plaintiff's passengers informed Defendant Officers that Plaintiff was innocent, and Plaintiff also informed the Officers that he was innocent. Regardless, Defendant Soto falsely informed investigating Detective Annette Francesquini that she had observed Plaintiff pointing a knife at the victim, which Soto later admitted at trial was false. Detective Francesquini knew or should have known this was false because it was not corroborated by the other Defendants, the victim, or any other witnesses. Plaintiff was arraigned and released on his own recognizance. After a mistrial and second trial, Plaintiff was convicted of robbery and served a sentence of three and a half years of imprisonment and two and half years of post-release supervision, which he completed. On appeal, the conviction was reversed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=mlewWe5AslHz3u1P48u_PLUS_eg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Alvarez, Carlos vs The City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2022-12-06","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"22CV08689","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","summary":"On May 15, 2010 Plaintiff Carlos Alvarez and three companions were hit in their car by another driver who attempted to flee. They followed the driver in their car, and when the driver stopped at an intersection, they approached the car. Ultimately they chose to avoid a confrontation and returned to their vehicle without confronting the driver. NYPD Officers Alexis Soto, Jonathan Katz, Carlos Rivera, and Abuhaikal Muhammad arrested them, forcibly extracting them from the car, handcuffing them, and having them kneel on the street while they had their guns drawn and pointed. The hit and run driver claimed Plaintiff and companions had been attempting to \"carjack\" him with a knife. Officer Soto then found a knife and backpack. At the station, Detective Anntte Francesquini informed Plaintiff there was no carjacking, but that it was Officer Soto's decision whether or not to release Plaintiff and companions. Plaintiff was arraigned on June 21, 2010 on 21 counts of crimes. Plaintiff alleges that during trial, ADA Jennifer Kim knew Officer Soto committed perjury when she testified, and that ADA Kim then provoked a mistrial because she believed that Plaintiff was going to be acquitted.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.587693/gov.uscourts.nysd.587693.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/65421321/alvarez-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115753","overtime":"24874","other":"25415","total":"166042"},"id":"58BF","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/58BF"}
