Detective Delarosa investigated the complaint, and on December 5th, discovered the name, date of birth, social security number, home address, and physical description of the man cashing these checks. While this man shares the name John Henry with the plaintiff, it was clear that they were not the same person. The detective produced an \"i-card\" with John Henry's personal details and attempted to arrest him in New Jersey, but police were unsuccessful. The case was reassigned to Det. D'Souza on March 20, 2015, who worked with Det. Carrerras for a year to attempt to arrest the man described in the \"i-card,\" but the NYPD were unable to effectuate an arrest in New Jersey and the ADA was similarly unable to issue a warrant for them to do so. \n\nOn February 16, 2016, NYPD officers, including named Defendants D’Souza, Carreras, Sadarangani, Cerase, and Macarthur attempted to arrest the Plaintiff at his home and finding him not present, arrested him at his place of business despite knowing that the personal details on the \"i-card\" did not match those of the Plaintiff. D'Souza attempted to question the Plaintiff at the 108th Precinct but ceased doing so when the Plaintiff invoked his right to counsel. D'Souza then processed the Plaintiff for arrest and recommended to the DA that charges be brought against him. He was brought to Queens Criminal Court to await arraignment. Delarosa falsely reported to D'Souza that she had viewed video footage of the Plaintiff cashing the checks, which was then conveyed to the DA's office during prosecution. Plaintiff was charged with grand larceny in the third degree and four counts of possession of a forged instrument. On Feb. 17, 2016 he was arraigned and released on his own recognizance after spending 26 hours in police custody prior to arraignment. After appearing in Queens Country Criminal Court approximately 5 times, on November 10, 2016 the Plaintiff had all charges against him dropped.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.427464/gov.uscourts.nyed.427464.14.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/14826149/henry-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Gomez, Juan vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-05-12","disposition_date":"2017-05-22","payout_amount":80000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV02621","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Delarosa, Elizabeth","summary":"On April 22, 2012, plaintiff spoke with defendant Detective Delarosa over the phone regarding a motor vehicle incident that had taken place roughly two months prior and, as a result of that conversation, went to the 108th Precinct.
