Near the corner of East 3rd Street and Avenue D, Mr. Nelson ran into Moody Lewis, a man he knew from the neighborhood. Mr. Nelson greeted Mr. Lewis and, after an exchange of normal pleasantries, Mr.\nNelson walked east on East 3rd Street towards Avenue D. As Mr. Nelson approached the corner, Individual Defendants arrested him. In the\nprocess, they used disproportionate force upon him, causing him to suffer, among other things, a split lip and serious abrasions. Police records indicate that one of these Individual Defendants was Detective Feliciano, as the records state, falsely, that Mr. Nelson “resisted with Detective Feliciano.” Detective Barrett was also personally involved in the use of force. No allegation of resisting arrest arrived in the eventual charging instrument against Mr. Nelson. \n\nDefendants later alleged that after Mr. Nelson walked away from Mr. Lewis towards Avenue D, Defendant UC C0254 purchased crack from Mr. Lewis. In connection with that incident, Defendant UC C0254, Defendant UC C0113 and other Defendants falsely stated that Mr. Nelson was involved in the sale because, as Mr. Nelson walked towards Avenue D, Mr. Nelson seemed to them to look about as if he were Mr. Lewis’s lookout. This was not true. When the  Defendants searched Mr. Nelson on the scene, they found him to\nhave $9, a cell phone, and headphones. They did not find any contraband. Defendant Miller proceeded to arrest Mr. Nelson on the basis of Defendant UC\nC0254’s and Defendant UC C0113’s false and unreasonable statements that Mr. Nelson appeared to be a lookout. Other Individual Defendants, like Defendant Allison, who were front and center at the arrest scene, knew that Mr. Nelson had done nothing to provide cause for an arrest, yet they failed to intervene. At the precinct, roughly four NYPD Officers searched Mr. Nelson by making him strip. These Individual Defendants still did not find narcotics or other contraband on Mr. Nelson. Defendant Lahens and Defendant Harris participated in the strip search. While Mr. Nelson was being processed at the precinct, an Individual Defendant, whose identity is at this writing unknown, unjustifiably punched Mr. Nelson. \n\nAfter the precinct strip search proved fruitless, Defendant Lahens falsely claimed that during the four officers’ precinct strip search of Mr. Nelson, he observed Mr. Nelson chew up a bag of crack, thus preventing the crack’s recovery. This was not true. Defendant Harris, who was present, knew that it was not true, yet failed to intervene to correct the false statement. At around 7:50 p.m., in response to Defendant Lahens’s allegation that Mr. Nelson ate crack, Defendant Miller and at least one other NYPD Officer, C. Carrows, took Mr. Nelson to Bellevue Hospital for medical examination and treatment. The doctor who examined Mr. Nelson at Bellevue wrote in related records that Mr. Nelson was “completely asymptomatic” for signs of crack consumption on examination two hours after the incident, when symptoms should arise in thirty minutes. The Doctor noted that Mr. Nelson's face was mildly bruised near his temple. In reliance upon Defendant UC C0254 and Defendant UC C0113’s unreasonable and false statement that Mr. Nelson was Mr. Lewis’s lookout, and upon Defendant Lahens’s false statement that Mr. Nelson ate crack to destroy evidence, the D.A.’s Office brought charges against him for possession of narcotics, sale of narcotics and tampering with evidence.\nDefendant Miller had presented the aforementioned fabricated allegations to the D.A.’s Office knowing them not to be true. Mr. Nelson had been unlawfully incarcerated for roughly twenty-eight hours by the time he was arraigned. On or around January 2, 2014, certain Individual Defendants testified before a\ngrand jury and, on information and belief, repeated some of the unreasonable and false statements that had previously been put forward to the D.A.’s Office. \n\nOn February 3, 2015, the charges were terminated in Mr. Nelson’s favor when\nthe state court dismissed the criminal charges against Mr. Nelson in their entirety.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4921717-Nelson-v-City-Of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.452145/gov.uscourts.nysd.452145.50.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4921718-Nelson-v-City-Of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4356418/nelson-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Robinson, Yusif vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-08-03","disposition_date":"2017-10-30","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Order/Judgment (Verdict)","docket":"15CV05850","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Allison, Richard","summary":"On Thursday, Sept. 12, 2013, at about 7:00 pm, plaintiff was walking in the area of 8th Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan when he was seized, searched, and arrested by Defendant NYPD officers Terrance Williams, Richard Allison, and Hoiping Lee of the Manhattan South Narcotics units. No contraband was found on plaintiff's person during the search, but plaintiff was nonetheless taken to a precinct, processed, and transported to New York County Central Bookings. Defendant Williams filed allegedly false paperwork claiming that Defendant Allison observed the plaintiff speak with someone named Leon Carter who handed the plaintiff money, an exchange in which plaintiff supposedly dropped two ten-dollar bills to the ground that Defendant Lee supposedly later recovered. Defendant Williams's presentation of the allegedly false claims and evidence caused the New York County District Attorney to file a criminal felony complaint against the plaintiff. Defendant Allison testified to the grand jury that plaintiff threw bills to the ground when stopped, and defendant Williams claimed to have recovered four hundred dollars from plaintiff's wallet and twenty dollars from the ground. Plaintiff was found not guilty on all counts by the jury at trial in October 2014.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.445289/gov.uscourts.nysd.445289.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6103609/robinson-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"id":"D7UM","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/D7UM"}
