Mr. Melendez was told he was stopped for riding his bicycle on the sidewalk.  P.O. Finegan searched plaintiff by putting his hands down plaintiff's pants.  Plaintiff objected to the search, and P.O. Finegan tasered plaintiff and then hit plaintiff in the head with a taser gun, giving plaintiff a gash on his scalp.  Plaintiff was afraid and took off running, so the P.O. chased plaintiff and attacked him yet again.  Plaintiff was taken to Jacobi Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with multiple fractured ribs, scalp laceration, knee pain, and other injuries.  Plaintiff was then taken to Central Booking and arraigned on various charges based on fabricated claims by the P.O.s.  All charged against plaintiff were dismissed, and plaintiff took a plea to disorderly conduct.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.510353/gov.uscourts.nysd.510353.6.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14803695/melendez-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Thompson, Nicole, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2015-09-04","disposition_date":"2017-03-30","payout_amount":81000.01,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"15CV06276","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Finegan, Kevin J.","summary":"On October 17, 2014, Plaintiffs Nicole Thompson, Steven McDonald, and Glenisha Rhone were asleep inside 480 East 188th Street, Apt. 16J in the Bronx, an apartment that belonged to Laman McDonald. Nicole was sleeping over because she was dating Laman, and Glenisha was spending the night with her boyfriend Steven. At about 4 AM, someone began to bang loudly on the apartment door. Steven got out of bed and opened the bedroom door, and he saw that the front door had been knocked down an that ~10 officers had entered with assault rifles and helmet, charging in with their weapons drawn. Pointing their guns at Steven, they screamed, \"On the floor or we'll shoot you.\" Steven complied and got on the floor. They entered Lamans room, where Laman and Nicole were naked in bed. The police ordered them out of bed and handcuffed Laman. An officer ordered Nicole to put her hands up, despite the fact that she was naked. Nicole was made to stand naked beside the bed for approximately 10 minutes, until she was allowed to put clothes on. She was then handcuffed. Nicole was terrified and asked why the police were there. From Laman's room, police recovered a desktop, monitor, two printers (one of which printed ID cards), a credit card skimmer, blank checks, and ID card stock. When the police asked if there was any other contraband in the apartment, Laman said there was a gun in the closet. The gun was hidden in a box and it was not possible to tell a gun was inside without looking within.\n\nAt this point, Laman told the officers that all the contraband was his and his alone, and he said this repeatedly. Despite Laman's statements, the police arrested plaintiffs Glenisha, Nicole, and Steven. The 3 of them were kept in custody for approximately 41 hours before the Bronx DA's office formally declined to prosecute them. While Steven was being held, his handcuffs were too tight, and when he asked them to loosen them, the officer said they didn't have the keys. He had pain in his wrists for the next three days after release.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.445969/gov.uscourts.nysd.445969.2.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4523221/thompson-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"officer_name":"Finegan, Kevin J.","disposition":"Administrative Closing","start_date":"2007-05-21","disposition_date":"2013-04-23","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","docket":"024261/2006","name":"Johnson, Bobby vs Gibson, Jeff, et al.","payout_amount":0}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22118999-923434_03192010_2010029pdf","date":"2010-03-19T00:00:00.000Z","type":"trial-decision"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"id":"FA6T","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/FA6T"}
