Sergt. Robert Vassallo. Plaintiff resided at the Sound View Housing Complex at Sound View Avenue, and booked a car service trip on the Excellent app. After being picked up by his driver, who was also Black, the car traveled one block up Watson avenue before being pulled over by Defendants Ramos, Brown, and Vassallo in an unmarked black car. Plaintiff overheard the officers speaking to the driver about vehicle license plate and tail defects and noting that plaintiff was not wearing his seat belt, causing him to affix his seat belt. When Defendant Vassallo shined a flashlight into the backseat, plaintiff began recording the interaction on his cellphone. \n\nDefendant Brown reached into the back seat of the car through the rear window and twisted plaintiff's arm, twisting it in an effort to reach plaintiff's cell phone. Defendant Vassallo pulled plaintiff from the car, Defendant Ramos grabbed plaintiff's neck and punched plaintiff in the ribs and stomach, and defendants seized plaintiff's cell phone. Defendants then frisked plaintiff and checked his pockets, finding no contraband or weapons. Plaintiff was subjected to overly tight handcuffs and transported to the 43rd Precinct while being taunted. Once arrived at the precinct, plaintiff was forcibly propelled towards the front desk, where Defendant Lt. Cesar Imbert did nothing to reprimand Defendants Ramos, Brown, or Vassallo for their conduct. Plaintiff was issued a Desk Appearance Ticket by Defendant Ramos on Feb. 17, 2021, in which he was informed he would be charged with obstruction of governmental administration, and the ticket was approved by NYPD Lt. Cesar Imbert. On Jun. 9, 2021, the Bronx district attorney declined to prosecute plaintiff.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23689773-ewell-complaint","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/61591232/ewell-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Reyes, Alfredo vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2021-09-14","disposition_date":"2022-04-21","payout_amount":15000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"21CV07621","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","summary":"On July 6, 2018, plaintiff was in his home. His son punched him in the face and plaintiff's fiancee and her son intervened to prevent any further conflict. Plaintiff never struck his son in any way or threatened to. Multiple family members witnessed the incident. One of plaintiff's son's called the police and ten unidentified officers arrived, including Officers Goodman, Imbert, Hernandez, and Breheny. Officers entered the backyard, where plaintiff was, without consent or a warrant. Some of the officers entered the interior of the home from the backyard without consent or warrant. Some of the officers made jokes that plaintiff should pretend to fall down and sue the owner of the property. Plaintiff tried to explain to officers what transpired but they did not pay attention. His fiancee tried to explain and they refused to listen to her and told her that she was \"no one.\" \n\nOfficers inside the house spoke to plaintiff's son—who had hit plaintiff—but did not speak to any other witnesses. Officers then handcuffed plaintiff and arrested him. Plaintiff was taken to an NYPD vehicle and was not given the chance to put on pants or clothe himself despite his requests. He was held at a precinct for hours and then taken to booking where he was arraigned. He was charged with menacing and harassment. Officer Goodman was the deponent in the criminal court complaint against plaintiff and stated that plaintiff's son informed him that plaintiff had pointed a wooden stick at his son and threatened him. These allegations are false. All charges against plaintiff were dismissed in their entirety on August 1, 2019.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.566426/gov.uscourts.nysd.566426.16.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/60379452/reyes-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Mcsween, Shaquille vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-11-15","disposition_date":"2014-04-08","payout_amount":15000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV05532","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Imbert, Cesar","summary":"On or about March 16, 2012, Plaintiff was walking with his friend on the street.
