One of the defendants ordered all occupants to exit the vehicle. Defendant Crichlow and one other defendant searched Plaintiff at the scene of this stop and determined he was not in possession of any weapons, nor was he alleged to have committed a crime. Despite this, Plaintiff was taken to NYPD's 90th Precinct. Defendants Cruz, Crichlow, Scalici, Howe, and Grullon searched Plaintiff's person and property again on at least two additional occasions. Plaintiff was then taken to an interrogation room by Defendant Jalbrzykowski and Defendant Doe #1 who identified herself as \"Police Officer Rivera.\"  After invoking his miranda rights, Plaintiff was taken to a holding cell where he was again searched. This time, Defendant Galindo-Sanchez reached inside Plaintiff's waistband and located a clear bag containing pulls. Upon this finding, Defendants Galindo-Sanchez, Grullon, Howe, Scalici, and Does # 3-5 threw Plaintiff to the ground. \n\nDefendants Galindo-Sanchez, Grullon, Howe, and Scalici struck Plaintiff repeatedly, twisted his arms, applied overly tight handcuffs, and dragged him into a nearby precinct bathroom while detained witnesses pleaded with Defendants to stop their assault. Upon information and belief, these Defendants intentionally dragged Plaintiff to the bathroom because it is an area where there are no mounted precinct cameras, and footage revealed that NYPD Defendants also deactivated their body-worn cameras at the same time. Once inside the bathroom, at least four NYPD Defendants, including Defendant Galindo-Sanchez, pinned Plaintiff to the ground and forcibly removed his underwear. Defendant Galindo-Sanchez further assaulted Plaintiff by conducting a forcible anal cavity search, no contraband was recovered. Defendants, including Defendant Galindo-Sanchez, fabricated evidence by falsely representing the circumstances of Plaintiff's arrest to prosecutors to suggest cause permitting a lawful seizure; by falsely representing the cause for Defendants' approach of Plaintiff; by providing fabricated evidence to prosecutors; by falsely informing prosecutors that the search of Plaintiff had been lawful; and many other violations. Defendants refused Plaintiff's pleads for medical assistance.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.514296/gov.uscourts.nyed.514296.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68479178/marcial-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"King, Venice & King, Marcus vs The City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2024-01-16","disposition_date":"2024-08-26","payout_amount":35000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"23CV09096","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","summary":"On or about September 10, 2022, Plaintiffs, husband and wife, were having a date night when Defendant Officers Tyler A Howe, Ashley Ordonez, Michael A.
