Plaintiff parked lawfully in a public, visitor's parking spot. When plaintiff entered to precinct to pick up his friend's property, police officer Kyle Young began interacting with plaintiff and asked for his ID, which plaintiff provided. Police officer Mark Lewis then searched plaintiff's name in a police database and discovered an open bench warrant that he believed was associated with plaintiff. The open bench warrant was for an unsigned \"declaration of delinquency\" arising from a 3 year old misdemeanor matter that was on for compliance, which would have been dismissed immediately when it came before a judge. Officer Lewis then arrested and searched plaintiff, seizing his car keys. Plaintiff called his girlfriend to retrieve his keys, car and other possessions, however, rather than wait for plaintiff's girlfriend to arrive, officer Lewis illegally seized the car and its contents, moving it from street parking to NYPD custody. Officer Lewis and officer Kyle Young then illegally searched the car. Officer Lewis found contraband including a handgun, marijunana cigarette and a sword. Officer Lewis seized that property as well as additional property in the car, including plaintiff's cellphone and tools. But for the unlawful search and seizure of the car, plaintiff would have been released from police custody in connection with the bench warrant within 24 hours. Instead, plaintiff remained in police custody from September 16, 2016 through April 2, 2020. Detective Patrick Nozdrovicky tried to interrogate plaintiff, but he invoked his rights to counsel and declined to answer questions. As a result, Detective Nozdrovicky had officer Lewis offer plaintiff a cigarette for the purpose of tricking him into obtaining his DNA without his consent. Further, officer Lewis provided false information to prosecutors regarding the facts and circumstances that led to plaintiff's arrest, seizure  of the car, search of the car and discovery of the contraband. Officer Lewis provided false testimony at the grand jury and the suppression hearing, causing the Supreme Court to deny plaintiff's suppression motion. As a result, plaintiff plead guilty in exchange for a 5 year sentence with 5 years of post-release supervision. On appeal, the decision was reversed, the indictment was dismissed, and plaintiff was released from custody. Plaintiff never received his car or any of its contents, including his many tools, back.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=zmRi9PN8rLjoJcgsCvVoHQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Furrs, Davian vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-07-24","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"711065/2018","court":"Supreme Court - Queens","officer_name":"Rizzo, Timothy F.","summary":"On July 9, 2014, Plaintiff was wrongfully and falsely arrested, detained and imprisoned, without any right or grounds.
