Unfamiliar with the area and unaware it was under investigation, the plaintiff followed police orders to stop and then reverse his vehicle. In doing so, his vehicle lightly bumped into a police car. Despite there being no damage, the officers arrested the plaintiff, accusing him of driving while intoxicated, although he exhibited no signs of impairment.\n\nThe plaintiff was detained for over 26 hours, charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, and had his driver's license suspended. This led to financial losses due to a four-month job suspension and required him to make multiple court appearances over a year-long prosecution. Ultimately, all charges were dismissed due to insufficient evidence.\n\nThe plaintiff asserts that the arresting officers fabricated evidence and violated his constitutional rights, leading to a false arrest and malicious prosecution. The lawsuit also contends that the NYPD’s history of inadequate investigation and discipline of officer misconduct contributed to this incident, resulting in physical, emotional, and economic harm to the plaintiff.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=bxESSoAntMWWbRSDnG0iDw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Bartholomew, Lavon vs City of Ny","start_date":"2021-08-12","disposition_date":"2023-05-02","payout_amount":465000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"21CV03729","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","summary":"On April 5, 2020 at 5:11 pm Plaintiffs Shaundell Hennegan (SH), Tysean Hennegan, J'chad Boyce and Curtis Miller were standing in the street.
