The officers told his brother that he was under arrest for trespassing. Plaintiff walked into a nearby building and BCC offices followed him, attempting to search his bag. They searched it and recovered two weapons and put Plaintiff into a holding cell at the public safety offices where they obtained a statement from Plaintiff without Miranda warnings. They then brought Plaintiff to the precinct where he was interrogated by NYPD Officers Irizary and Seligson. He was held for two days before his arraignment where he was charged with possession of a weapon. The Bronx DA later dismissed all of Plaintiff's charges because the Judge in the case determined that the search of his bag was involuntary and his statements to officers must be suppressed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.503118/gov.uscourts.nysd.503118.4.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/8057071/turner-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Chapman, Terry vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-02-21","disposition_date":"2018-12-18","payout_amount":55000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"021156/2017E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Seligson, William N.","summary":"On June 25, 2015, Defendants wrongfully touched, grabbed, handcuffed, and seized Plaintiff causing him physical pain and mental suffering.
