The officers allegedly obtained a warrant through fraudulent means. Once inside, they handcuffed the plaintiff, searched his apartment, and ridiculed him by placing a party hat on his head. During the search, they seized approximately $40,000 in cash from a locked safe, which was the plaintiff’s life savings. The officers damaged property during the search and falsely claimed to have found illegal drugs. Despite finding no contraband, the plaintiff was arrested and detained for 10 hours, after which a criminal case was initiated based on fabricated evidence, including drugs allegedly found in the apartment. The plaintiff was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, though Officer Peralta and the other officers knew the charge was false. The case led to court appearances and eviction proceedings. The criminal charges were dismissed on February 13, 2020. However, most of the confiscated cash has not been returned, with only $2,409 vouchered. The plaintiff continues to suffer emotional distress, economic loss, and harm as a result of these actions.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=93aqTco0PKw0HsVCUCu4Cw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Evans, Brandon vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-03-16","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"505215/2017","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Peralta, Kelvin","summary":"On March 19, 2014, at approximately 7:30pm, Plaintiff Brandon Evans parked his car directly across the street from his home located at 436 Atkins Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.
