After approaching the vehicle, Detective McKevitt ordered Plaintiff out of the vehicle on the pretext that he smelled marijuana in the vehicle, before handcuffing and arresting him. Plaintiff was subsequently taken to a precinct, and interrogated for the offences of rape and sexual abuse which he did not commit. Whilst Plaintiff was being transferred to Rikers Island, he was forced to remain in a police van for 5 hours, with his hands handcuffed behind his back. This left him with a permanent injury to his left arm and middle back. Plaintiff was maliciously prosecuted for sexual offences, but on or about September 7, 2023, all charges against him were dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=ZvStODWBd/VgnnXDwWrkrA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Nixon, Jacqueline, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2019-12-27","disposition_date":"2022-05-03","payout_amount":79000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"19CV07215","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Epps, Jonathan D.","summary":"On December 31, 2016, plaintiffs were gathered for an annual event to celebrate the life of their family member who was shot to death by NYPD in 2003.  All plaintiffs either resided at or were visiting the subject premises.  After midnight on January 1, 2017, P.O.s Omar Birchwood, Lt. Michael Raimo, and P.O. Jesse Lance knocked on the door under the false guise that they had heard gunshots.  The officers insisted that they enter the premises, but plaintiffs demanded a warrant to allow entry.  This encounter lasted for more than hour, and the officers didn't allow plaintiffs to close their front door.  As some of the plaintiffs were peacefully exiting, one plaintiff was dragged outside of the subject premises, pushed against the side of the building, and had his phone snatched from his hand by the officers when he attempted to record the assault.  The officers stopped, frisked, searched, and fondled him and kept using the \"N\" word.  The officers similarly frisked and searched another plaintiff that tried to leave and kept using the \"N\" word.   \n\nThe officers forced their way into the premises and directed everyone to sit down and threatened that they were in trouble because they were giving the police a \"hard time.\"  The officers also threatened to call ACS on some of the plaintiffs inside the premises because there were minor children present.  The officers frisked and searched each plaintiff individually and engaged in retaliation by reporting them to ACS for suspected domestic violence and child abuse.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.443101/gov.uscourts.nyed.443101.40.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16625563/nixon-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Caraballo, David vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-11-30","disposition_date":"2023-03-29","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"18CV10335","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Epps, Jonathan D.","summary":"On November 7, 2015 Plaintiff David Caraballo entered a building and was being followed by three plainsclothes officers identified only as \"Light Shirt Defendant 1 (LS1),\" Light Shirt Defendant 2 (LS2),\" and \"Dark Shirt Defendant (DS).\" DS walked past Plaintiff in the lobby of the building, then turned around and attacked him.
