Then, without any reasonable basis or probable cause for doing so, police officers approached, stopped, searched and detained Plaintiff. The search yielded no evidence of any guns, drugs, or contraband, but the officers nevertheless arrested Plaintiff. Sergeant Rich arrived at the scene and supervised the arrest. Plaintiff did not know why he was being arrested, but while it was happening he overheard on the officers’ police radios that other members of the NYPD were apprehending, or had apprehended, other individuals in the area for gun possession, which Plaintiff would eventually be charged with. \n\nPlaintiff was transferred to a precinct where he was held for several hours. While at the precinct, officers Sargent, Riche and Bute subjected Plaintiff to excessive force by striking him on his face and body. The use of force lacked any justification. Plaintiff repeatedly requested medical attention for the injuries he incurred, including cuts and lacerations he sustained to his face, but the officers refused to provide medical attention. The officers assaulted, battered, and threatened Plaintiff, in order to coerce him into putting on a red sweatshirt and Cardinals baseball cap, which Plaintiff did not own, and which Plaintiff was not wearing that evening. Plaintiff was then transferred to Central Booking, where he was held for several more days before he was arraigned on a criminal complaint containing false allegations sworn to by officer Sargent. Officer Rich, officer Sargent’s supervisor, approved the arrest and paperwork related to Plaintiff’s arrest, and failed to prevent the illegal acts taken by his colleagues. Pursuant to the knowingly false allegations made by the officers, Plaintiff was charged with criminal possession of a weapon. Plaintiff was then transferred to Rikers Island, where he remained in custody for several more days. The charges were eventually dismissed, on October 11, 2013.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.352908/gov.uscourts.nyed.352908.12.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4928067-Louis-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4928068-Louis-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6229030/louis-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"discipline":[{"disposition_date":"2016-02-29","case_no":"2015-14016","penalty":"Vacation days (15 days)","charges":[{"desc":"Made inaccurate and misleading statements during a CCRB interview.","disposition":"Guilty"}],"opened_date":"2010-06-10"},{"disposition_date":"2016-02-03","case_no":"2015-14014","penalty":"Vacation days (5 days)","charges":[{"desc":"While on-duty, entered a location without sufficient legal authority.","disposition":"Guilty"},{"desc":"While on-duty, searched a location without sufficient legal authority.","disposition":"Guilty"}],"opened_date":"2010-06-10"},{"disposition_date":"2010-06-10","case_no":"2010-1383","penalty":"Vacation days (15 days)","charges":[{"desc":"Failed to conduct a timely investigation, to wit: after being advised that an off-duty Member of Service  allegedly smelled of alcohol was involved in a car accident at a known location, said Lieutenant failed to immediately respond to the location and assess the situation and failed to direct that said member of the service be transported to a Department facility for a breathalyzer test.","disposition":"Guilty"},{"desc":"Failed to conduct a timely investigation, to wit: after being advised that an off-duty Member of Service  allegedly smelled of alcohol was involved in a car accident at a known location, said Lieutenant failed to notify the Internal Affairs Bureau as required.","disposition":"Guilty"}],"documents":[{"name":"Document","url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4419179-nypd-cases-028.html"}],"opened_date":"2010-06-10"}],"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/G39X-mauvin-bute.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"154751","regular":"150396","overtime":"54654","other":"24692","total":"229742"},"news":[{"url":"https://www.latinojustice.org/sites/default/files/ccrb_report/CCRB%20Report_v4_4-9.pdf","title":"Shielded From Accountability: How NYPD Officers Get Away with Lying to the CCRB","source":"LatinoJustice PRLDEF","date":"2022-04-11"},{"url":"https://projects.propublica.org/nypd-unchecked-power/","title":"What It Looks Like When the New York City Police Commissioner Has “Unchecked Power” Over Officer Discipline","source":"ProPublica","date":"2020-12-11"}],"id":"G39X","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/G39X"}
