Each Plaintiff was imprisoned approximately 24 hours after his unlawful arrest and compelled to make numerous court appearances until June 11, 2015, when the criminal charges were dismissed.  While the Plaintiffs were being held, Defendant NYPD Officer Robert Woodhouse, with the acquiescence of the other defendants, misrepresented facts in the police reports and other documents to falsely state the Plaintiffs had committed offenses including possessing marijuana and other controlled substances.  The defendant officers maliciously prosecuted the Plaintiffs to avoid discipline for their abuse of authority, to obtain overtime compensation, and to obtain credit for an arrest.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.444099/gov.uscourts.nysd.444099.30.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6083752/smith-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Campbell v.
