Her neighbors were renovating their home, and were conducting loud construction work from 8 AM until 7 PM. Plaintiff went outside and asked them to stop, when the neighbors threatened her and said they would call police on her. Plaintiff then returned to her home. Defendant NYPD officers John Falzarano, Christopher Ng, and Ryan Stam all arrived at the scene shortly thereafter. When plaintiff stepped out to meet them, defendants arrested her on charges of trespass, harassment, and disorderly conduct, based solely on the unsubstantiated claims of her neighbors.  \n\nPlaintiff was transported to the 122nd Precinct, where she was under the supervision of Defendant NYPD Officer Louis Campanella and Gregory Acerra. Plaintiff was handcuffed to a wall in a cell shared with a belligerent man, and she was denied repeated requests for food and water. Plaintiff was then cavity searched, contrary to NYPD protocol, by defendant NYPD Officer Kristen Caldararo, while defendants Ng and Stam stood guard. Plaintiff was then transferred to a different precinct, where she was again strip searched in full view of male officers. Plaintiff was then arraigned and released. Plaintiff was offered and declined several plea deals, before the charges against her were dismissed on the DA's motion.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.517751/gov.uscourts.nyed.517751.33.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68936970/21/intorcia-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Tumbarello, Natalie vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2024-05-17","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"24CV03604","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","summary":"On May 20, 2023, the Plaintiff visited her terminally ill father, Frank Vadala. Despite having received permission from her father, the Plaintiff was met with resistance from her cousin, Marie Vicidomini, leading to a physical altercation in which Vicidomini assaulted her. \n\nNYPD Officers Falzarano, Guglielmo, and Robles failed to verify with Vadala that he had allowed his daughter to visit. Instead of investigating the injuries suffered by the Plaintiff, Officer Guglielmo misrepresented the situation to Officer Falzarano. Officer Guglielmo shifted the narrative to focus on trespass by asking family members leading questions and subsequently, Vicidomini altered her account to falsely allege the Plaintiff had assaulted her. The Plaintiff was unjustly arrested for assault based on fabricated evidence by Vicidomini.\n\nWhile the Plaintiff was under unlawful arrest, Sergeant Cabreja ignored evidence that exonerated her and failed to intervene. \n\nThe fabricated details were forwarded by Officer Guglielmo to the Richmond County District Attorney’s Office, resulting in unjust criminal charges of Assault in the Third Degree against the Plaintiff. The false arrest that lacked probable cause led to significant emotional and physical distress, including PTSD, as well as loss of income. The charges against the Plaintiff were later dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.515303/gov.uscourts.nyed.515303.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68542199/tumbarello-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Fitzroy, Emelda vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-05-06","disposition_date":"2019-12-16","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Order/Judgment (Verdict)","docket":"16CV00477","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Falzarano, John J.","summary":"Defendant officers arrested Plaintiff at her home, assaulted her despite the fact that she was pregnant, arrested her, and charged her with 120.00; 240.26; 120.05; 205.30; and 195.05. all charges were later dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.380832/gov.uscourts.nyed.380832.5.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4325216/fitzroy-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/6W5B-john-falzarano.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"97894","regular":"97134","overtime":"2903","other":"12149","total":"112186"},"id":"6W5B","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/6W5B"}
