Mr. Viera then stopped the cab and violently assaulted, battered, and robbed Mr. Bazan. After being stabbed in the hand with a knife and having his nose broken, Mr. Bazan escaped and ran to the nearby police precinct in Queens, New York. After finding Mr. Viera who had no injuries, and none of his property or money missing, the defendants arrested Mr. Bazan without probable cause. The individual defendants then spoke with the Queens County District Attorney's Office, lying that Mr. Bazan had violated New York Penal Law Section 110-160.15 and 165.15. It was based on these fabricated allegations, the Queens County District Attorney's Office forwarded a Criminal Court Complaint to Defendant O'Leary. Defendant O'Leary was aware the allegations contained therein were false when signing the Complaint. The individual defendants also caused separate legal process to be issued against Mr. Bazan in the form of a immigration detainer and prosecution. During the pendency of the criminal and immigration proceedings, the individual defendants forwarded false evidence to the Queens County District Attorney's Office and immigration officials. Ultimately the charges against Mr. Bazan were dismissed on April 24, 2013, however, not before Mr. Bazan was wrongly imprisoned for approximately four months.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.356838/gov.uscourts.nyed.356838.10.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13139280/bazan-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"payroll":{"salary":"204936","regular":"202492","overtime":"0","other":"40422","total":"242914"},"id":"58L7","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/58L7"}
