Just a few minutes before, other officers from the 32nd Precinct had stopped the vehicle and issued tickets for driving with excessively tinted windows.  Plaintiff's friend explained this to P.O.s Poupos and Davin and showed them the tickets.  The officers ordered plaintiff and his friend to exit the vehicle and arrested them, claiming to have found a bag of marijuana and a knife inside the vehicle.  None of these items belonged to plaintiff.  The officers transported plaintiff to the precinct, processed him, fingerprinted and photographed him, and detained him in a holding cell.  Plaintiff had 3 ecstasy pills in a plastic bag in the gusset region of his boxer shorts as well as Viagra pills in his pants pockets, which plaintiff admitted to.  P.O.s Poupos, Davin, and two other officers proceeded to strip search plantiff, cutting his underwear with a knife, making him bend over, and looking inside plaintiff's buttocks to see if any contraband was hidden.  Nothing unlawful was found.  Plaintiff was detained in the precinct for several hours and in various holding cells in Central Booking for over 15 hours until he was formally arraigned.  Plaintiff should have been released from the precinct with a Desk Appearance Ticket per NY Criminal Procedure Law, but he was instead detained for many hours.  Plaintiff was falsely charged with criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly possessing a knife and billyclub recovered from his friend's vehicle.  Plaintiff later accepted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.561921/gov.uscourts.nysd.561921.14.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/59984210/johnson-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/957-steven-poupos.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115316","overtime":"77844","other":"12133","total":"205293"},"id":"957","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/957"}
