The incident began when a civilian, Sean Husted, called 911 to report that a black car had struck his vehicle. Although Husted did not witness the accident, he identified a black vehicle, belonging to the plaintiff, as possibly involved. Defendant Hynes concluded that the plaintiff was responsible, despite no visible damage to either vehicle and testimony from the plaintiff's doorman and video footage showing the plaintiff entering his building normally. The defendants entered the plaintiff's apartment without consent under the guise of a wellness check, which they did not perform, and falsely claimed to smell alcohol on the plaintiff's breath, arresting him for driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an accident. Husted was coerced into altering his description to match the plaintiff. Following the arrest, the plaintiff was taken to the 45th precinct, where he refused a breathalyzer test. He was then taken to Central Booking, arraigned, and released on his own recognizance. The charges were dismissed and sealed by the Bronx County District Attorney's office on November 29, 2018. \n\nAt a DMV hearing on January 16, 2019, the judge found no wrongdoing by the plaintiff in refusing the breathalyzer, and his license was restored. The plaintiff filed a complaint with the Civilian Complaint Review Board, where Defendant Petti lied about the plaintiff consenting to the apartment entry, contradicting internal NYPD testimonies. Despite numerous discrepancies in the defendants' testimonies, the Assistant Deputy Commissioner ruled against the plaintiff. Additionally, Defendant Petti leaked the story to the Daily News, causing the plaintiff economic and emotional harm.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=fhsWepnBjQNOwKvk4ZYlhA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Ford, Robert vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2016-05-09","disposition_date":"2017-03-22","payout_amount":2501,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"16CV02046","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Petti, Raffaele","summary":"Plaintiff was at his girlfriend's apartment when Defendant Officers rushed in, struck plaintiff in the head with a shield, dragged him to the living room, and handcuffed him.
