The officers, including Detective Christopher Connolly, falsely accused Bailey of possessing a weapon and assaulting his cousin. The officers believed that Bailey knew the identities of the perpetrators involved in a prior drive-by shooting on May 2, 2017, during which Bailey's cousin was injured. Despite Bailey's inability to provide this information, the officers arrested him, charged him with serious felony crimes, and detained him for 30 hours before arraignment. Bailey was remanded to Riker's Island for five days before being released when the District Attorney's office failed to indict him. Eventually, all charges were dismissed on November 20, 2017, as they could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=MB3TnpDLnbjNMCMYoqBeiQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Williams, Andre vs Viar, Paul, et al.","start_date":"2015-04-23","disposition_date":"2016-03-02","payout_amount":50000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"15CV02146","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Connolly, Christopher Michael","summary":"NYPD officers were inside Plaintiff's yard gate and as he exited his home asked him about the previous home's owner who had a warrant.
