Terpos, Tinsley, Yakubovsky and Does 1-10 improperly seized, searched, and arrested Shaver despite Shaver not raising any suspicion. The officers present, despite having opportunities to do so, did not prevent such an improper arrest. During the arrest, Shaver did not resist the arrest and was detained for many hours. The officers, despite knowing the innocence of Shaver, continued to prosecute the case and intentionally and knowingly falsified evidence which subsequently denied Shaver his right to a fair trial. Ingoglio, Munroe, Brady, and Yakubovsky investigated Shaver without a justifiable cause. As a consequence, Shaver suffered from embarrassment, humiliation, and physical injury.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=K9XZr6wDCsymzrtQuJyJ2Q==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Letang, Terric vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-11-14","disposition_date":"2015-02-02","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Order/Judgment (Verdict)","docket":"13CV08144","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Terpos, Phillip","summary":"On May 21, 2012, Plaintiff attempted to enter the elevator in his apartment building located in Harlem, when Defendant Officer Soto entered ahead of him, pushed back the Plaintiff, and told him to take the next elevator.
