Argelis Rodriguez and 4 unnamed defendant officers, arrested Ronald Dykes without cause at the corner of Marcus Garvey Boulevard and Decatur Street in Brooklyn, New York, and charged plaintiff with PL 221.10(1) ‘Criminal possession of marihuana in the fifth degree. Mr. Rodriguez, however, was not in possession of any marihuana and did not commit any offenses. Prior to the arrest, plaintiff’s friends, Martin Golds and Jamaal Harris, had offered the plaintiff a ride home in Mr. Gold’s car after visiting with one of his friends named Karen on Albany Avenue in Brooklyn. As soon as plaintiff and his friends drove off from Karen’s apartment on Albany Avenue, defendant officers pulled behind them and followed them. After approximately one block away from Karen’s apartment, defendant officers pulled over Mr. Golds who was the driver of the vehicle. After pulling over the vehicle, defendant officers without cause or reason directed the plaintiff and his friends to step out of the vehicle. After removing plaintiff and his friends from the vehicle, defendant officers immediately subjected them to strip/body cavity searches in the presence and clear view of other individuals who were present at the time, with defendant officers harassing and threatening plaintiff and his friends with bodily harm. Defendant officers did not recover any contraband from their illegal search of the plaintiff and his friends. Even though defendant officers did not recover any contraband from their illegal search of the plaintiff and his friends, defendant officers nonetheless tightly handcuffed the plaintiff and his friends with their hands placed behind their backs. After handcuffing the plaintiff and his friends, defendant officers proceeded to perform an illegal search of Mr. Gold’s vehicle. Defendant officers did not recover any contraband from their unlawful search of Mr. Gold’s vehicle. Eventually, defendant officers forcibly pushed the plaintiff and his friends into their police vehicle and transported them to the 79th Precinct for arrest processing. Defendant officers seized and/or appropriated to themselves several of plaintiff’s items or properties, that cost a total amount of $350.00, and have refused to return aforesaid properties to plaintiff or give him any voucher specifying the properties and how to reclaim them. After detaining the plaintiff for a lengthy period of time at the precinct, plaintiff was transported to the Central Booking to await arraignment. While plaintiff was awaiting arraignment, defendant officers met with prosecutors employed by the Kings County District Attorney’s Office. During this meeting, defendant officers falsely stated to the prosecutors, among other things, that plaintiff was in possession of marihuana in a public place that was burning or open to public view at the time of his arrest. Based on the false testimony of defendant officers, the prosecutors initiated actions against the plaintiff. Eventually, the prosecutors determined that there was no evidence of any crimes committed by plaintiff. As a result, the prosecutors declined to prosecute the plaintiff.\nEventually, after detaining plaintiff for a lengthy period of time, defendant\nofficers summarily released plaintiff from his unlawful detention.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.361860/gov.uscourts.nyed.361860.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13139921/dykes-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"officer_name":"Rodriguez, Argelis R.","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-12-20","disposition_date":"2016-12-21","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","docket":"023364/2012","name":"Shabazz, Shaheed vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":30000},{"name":"Albritton v.
