Plaintiff was shot in his right arm, lower back, and through the backs of both of his legs. A bystander whom Plaintiff did not know helped Plaintiff and called an ambulance for him. Shortly thereafter, an ambulance and police vehicles arrived at the scene. Plaintiff was placed on a stretcher, loaded into an ambulance, and transported to Kings Hospital for treatment. A police officer accompanied Plaintiff in the ambulance and unlawfully arrested him without probable cause or legal justification. Plaintiff remained in police custody and was unlawfully handcuffed and shackled to a gurney until March 13, 2014, when he was discharged from the hospital. Immediately thereafter, Plaintiff was transported to the 67th Precinct, where he was detained in a holding cell for several hours. Plaintiff was in so much pain from his wounds that he was transported back to the hospital via an ambulance to receive further treatment. Plaintiff was prescribed pain medication and transported back to the 67th Precinct, where he remained in a holding cell overnight until March 14, 2014. Plaintiff was in severe pain during his detainment because he was not permitted to take the medication just prescribed to him at the hospital.\n\nIn the morning, Plaintiff was transported to Kings County Central Booking. NYPD Officer Garret Gorham, Officer Sean Collins, Officer Gregory Johnson, Sergeant Mark Smith, and several unidentified NYPD officers provided false information to the District Attorney’s office, which initiated the prosecution against Plaintiff. After approximately 12 hours in Central Booking, Plaintiff was arraigned on March 14, 2014, and charged with several crimes based on these false allegations. Plaintiff was unable to post bail immediately, so he remained in police custody until March 16, 2014. On March 26, 2014, all charges against Plaintiff were dismissed by the Kings County District Attorney’s Office.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=YeY/HD6i0KFtxDcK0UT3Lg==","type":"complaint"}]}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/EBLD-mark-smith.jpg","id":"EBLD","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/EBLD"}
