Plaintiff was one of approximately nine individuals attending the event. Plaintiff was not engaged in any criminal activity, nor was he in possession of any contraband, narcotics or weapons.\nNumerous police officers in plainclothes from the NYPD 67th Precinct, and other unknown police commands, including, defendant NYPD Officer Sergeant Brian Schulman, NYPD Sergeant David Grieco, and P.O. John and Jane Does #1-12, and other as yet unknown police officers, at times acting in concert Steven Lavin and NYPD Officer David Darcy, opened the gate to the lot and entered the premises without a warrant or probable cause or reasonable suspicion that criminal activity had or was occurring therein. Defendant NYPD officers directed all present to “freeze.” The moment NYPD officers opened the gate and commanded those in attendance to “freeze,” Plaintiff was not free to leave. After a few moments, defendant NYPD officers made their way onto the lot, and one defendant NYPD officer approached Plaintiff and directed him to sit down. Plaintiff calmly explained that because of a previous injury requiring the surgical placement of a rod into his leg, it was difficult for him to sit back down. Plaintiff was than directed by the defendant NYPD officer to sit down in a much more aggressive manner. Without justification or cause, Plaintiff was then thrown into a metal fence and then onto the ground by the defendant NYPD officer, who proceeded to strike the Plaintiff with his forearm, elbow, and knee, even as Plaintiff was pleading for the defendant NYPD officer to not hurt his surgically-repaired leg. Plaintiff was then pinned down by the defendant NYPD officer who placed his knee on Plaintiff’s back.\nPlaintiff was then handcuffed from behind and the defendant NYPD officer arresting the plaintiff began to step on the Plaintiff's handcuffs. Plaintiff was then placed in an NYPD van and transported to the 67th Precinct, where he remained incarcerated for approximately 18 hours. At no point was he informed of why he had been arrested. Upon arriving at the 67th Precinct, Plaintiff was already experiencing severe pain in his wrists and left knee and began requesting medical assistance. Defendant NYPD officers ignored Plaintiff’s requests for approximately 18 hours, before finally taking Plaintiff to Kings County Hospital by ambulance, where he was examined. Plaintiff was then released from NYPD custody directly from Kings County hospital without ever being charged. In addition to being subject to wanton and violent physical abuse during the course of Plaintiff’s arrest, the underlying arrest itself was entirely illegal. NYPD arrest records allege that Plaintiff was in possession of a loaded Taurus 9MM firearm, but these allegations were categorically false. Plaintiff never possessed a firearm before or at the time defendant NYPD officers illegally entered time of his arrest or at any time subsequent. In fact, the arrest paperwork never states where this alleged weapon was recovered. Nevertheless, these allegations made up the basis of Plaintiff’s\nthe premises at 3705 Church Avenue, and Plaintiff was not found in possession of a firearm at the false and illegal arrest, and were memorialized in official NYPD paperwork","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=byKLGAK3HByvkhsrYRXAcg==","type":"complaint"}]}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2024-02-06","case_no":"2023-29008","penalty":"A - Command Discipline, vacation days (3 days)","recommendation":"Command Discipline - A","allegations":[{"desc":"Wrongfully searched a vehicle."}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21022229-darcy-ce5ada8a924bb4ee3e60754f0ed12203474d3994","type":"brady-giglio","complaints":[{"complaint_id":201903474,"available":true}]},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21615293-darcy-954700","type":"brady-giglio"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21057587-darcy-954700-12-17-19-1","type":"brady-giglio"}],"payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115330","overtime":"53060","other":"17102","total":"185492"},"id":"9B5","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/9B5"}
