On the first day, the officers demanded that Soto exit his vehicle without providing a legal reason, causing him to flee in fear for his safety. The following morning, the same officers unlawfully entered Soto's residence without a warrant, handcuffed, searched, and arrested him. During the arrest, the officers used excessive force, including punching and kicking Soto while he was in handcuffs, resulting in injuries such as contusions, abrasions, and severe sprains. Soto was wrongfully detained for three days, during which the officers fabricated charges against him. These charges were dismissed on September 29, 2018. Soto suffered emotional and physical harm as a result of the officers' actions.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=bk2aKHo0_PLUS_nKRnAJ3/9A0iA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Bell, James vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-04-11","disposition_date":"2013-07-25","payout_amount":2500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV02250","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Gilson, James","summary":"On April 27, 2012, plaintiff was approached on the street by 3 officers and thrown against the window.
