P.O.s Anthony Francavilla, Clarice Luces, Sgt. Lee Jones, Bernabe Vargas stepped on the train and asked plaintiff for identification.  Plaintiff complied, and the officers took him off the train, placed him against a wall, patted him down, and emptied his pocked.  The officers did not tell plaintiff why they were arresting him, but he could decipher based on snippets of radio communication that a young black male in a hoodie had recently committed a crime.  Plaintiff tried to explain he had just clocked out of work and showed his time card receipt, but they wouldn't listen.  The officers brought forth a young woman crying hysterically and having to be physically held up to maintain balance, and she frantically alleged that plaintiff was the person who \"did it.\"  Plaintiff matched the vague description of a young black make in a hoodie, but did not have in his possession the backpack that was allegedly stolen from the woman and was not on the same train route.  The case against plaintiff was dismissed six weeks after the arrest when prosecutors conceded they could not prove the case.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.448813/gov.uscourts.nysd.448813.20.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13247534/owens-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"id":"9KC7","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/9KC7"}
