Smith pulled over and P.O.s approached the driver’s side of the car. P.O. Rodney Greenidge reached through the window and grabbed Smith by the shirt with one hand, then started to punch him with the other. Smith screamed for help, which caused Greenidge to hit him more while attempting to pull Smith through the window. Smith continued to scream for help, which caused passerby to stop and shout out Greenidge, who then backed off to allow Smith to unfasten his seat belt before he dragged Smith from the car. By this time, Smith’s shirt was ripped, and he had sustained numerous hits to his face. During this time, P.O. Craig Wright stood by and did not intervene. Later, Sergeant Jessica Gavars responded to the scene but merely stood by and did not stop Greenidge from assaulting Smith. \n\nSmith was handcuffed and taken to the 75th Precinct where he was searched and placed in a holding cell. Greenidge intentionally placed the handcuffs tight enough on Smith to inflict pain; Smith repeatedly requested they be loosened but was ignored or told to shut up. Smith was held for several hours before being taken to bookings division of the criminal court well he was detained without food, drink water, or access to a restroom for an excess of 24 hours. Smith’s charges were ultimately adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. P.O.s filed paperwork in which they swore in part that Smith had committed a crime/offense despite this being materially false.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.368659/gov.uscourts.nyed.368659.9.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13242234/smith-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21030262-wright-7f8efaac95046690f40ec8cfb0daed0a24fbbc3f","type":"brady-giglio"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/HTTM-craig-wright.jpg","id":"HTTM","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/HTTM"}
