Williams and Tyshawn Byrd were driving in their vehicle when they were pulled over by Defendant officers in an unmarked NYPD vehicle. Plaintiff Byrd was operating the vehicle and Williams was in the backseat. Defendant Officers Joseph Loporto and Aaquib Bhatti informed Plaintiffs that they were being pulled over because the windows of their vehicle were illegally tinted. However, this was not true - it was a pretext to search the vehicle and the Plaintiffs. \nPlaintiff Byrd nevertheless complied with Defendant's requests for his license and registration, which Defendants took. Defendants returned after a moment and asked that the Plaintiffs exit the vehicle. While Plaintiffs were complying, one of the Defendant officers reached inside the vehicle to forcefully pull Byrd out of the car.  Defendants proceeded to search the car and both Plaintiffs without cause. Defendants claimed to have recovered an illegal knife on Plaintiff Williams, but this was not true. However, Defendants nevertheless arrested Plaintiff Williams and took him to a local precinct.  Plaintiff Byrd was allowed to leave the scene and was not arrested. \nPlaintiff Williams was transported to Central Booking and placed in a cell to await arraignment. At approximately 6:30PM on November 5, 2023 was arraigned for Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the 4th Degree. Defendant Loporto, in his capacity as an investigating officer, fabricated evidence against Plaintiff Williams and provided it to prosecutors, which directly resulted in Plaintiff Williams being deprived of his liberty. At his arraignment, Plaintiff Williams accepted an ACD and was released from custody.","documents":[{"url":"https://web.archive.org/web/20240820204758/https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=3trJdHv0eSob45DsHZVivg==","type":"complaint"}]}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2023-08-17","case_no":"2023-28784","penalty":"Instructions","recommendation":"Instructions","allegations":[{"desc":"Failed to prepare a property clerk's invoice worksheet, as required."}]}],"payroll":{"salary":"60363","regular":"59854","overtime":"18877","other":"10022","total":"88753"},"id":"7DYH","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/7DYH"}
