The POs pointed their weapons at Plaintiff and the other occupants, then searched and arrested Plaintiff without probable cause or legal justification. The POs alleged that during their raid they recovered illegal drugs from the target, but they did not recover any illegal drugs, weapons, or contraband from the Plaintiff.\n\nThe POs  intentionally and falsely alleged that Plaintiff possessed the drugs recovered from the target. The POs provided the District Attorney with false information, causing Plaintiff to be criminally prosecuted without probable cause--they told the District Attorney that Plaintiff was closer to the contraband when the apartment was raided. The charge against Plaintiff was ultimately dismissed and sealed in its entirety on December 4, 2018.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=kyP0_PLUS_P6OyXY16I0kKfI5Pg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Baijnauth, Kevin, et al. vs Detective Allen, Gary, et al.","start_date":"2017-09-07","disposition_date":"2020-07-28","payout_amount":62500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"17CV03952","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Roach, Craig","summary":"On April 5, 2016, Officers Socorro, Agosto, Cahill, Ramo, Parides, Langlois, McCartney, Connelly, and Zedalis searched Kevin Baijnauth's business dressed in riot gear. While inside the business, the officers pointed a shotgun at one of Baijnauth's employees, destroyed the surveillance system and walls, and stole cash and jewelry. After his employee told him about the incident, Baijnauth and his wife, Meenakshi, went to the precinct for information. An officer told Meenakshi that there was a no-knock warrant for the premises on the belief that the Baijnauth's were selling guns and drugs out of the basement. The officer also accused Meenakshi of buying stolen jewelry. On March 29 and April 1, a woman believed to be working for the police came to the Baijnauth business sold jewelry to Baijnauth's employee. At no time was it known that the jewelry was stolen.\n\nOn April 21, 2017, Officers Allen, Beck, Vega, and Roach entered the Baijnauth business after an undercover officer sold jewelry to an employee. The employee unlocked his phone to show a picture of the buyer's ID, at which point Officer Beck deleted the picture. Officer Beck then took the employee's ID and confiscated the jewelry just purchased.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.403881/gov.uscourts.nyed.403881.48.0_1.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13440698/baijnauth-v-allen/"},{"name":"Scott, Don A. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-12-29","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"018389/2014","court":"Supreme Court - Queens","officer_name":"Roach, Craig"},{"name":"Scott, Don A. vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2014-12-29","disposition_date":"2025-12-12","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Administrative Closing","docket":"715616/2022","court":"Supreme Court - Queens"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/JMHT-craig-roach.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"160722","regular":"156077","overtime":"0","other":"20428","total":"176505"},"news":[{"url":"https://nypost.com/2025/11/15/us-news/sex-toy-story-detective-from-internal-affairs-sues-for-dildo-distress/","title":"NYPD detective sexually harassed by racist bosses who tormented him with sex toys, suit claims","source":"New York Post","date":"2025-11-15"}],"id":"JMHT","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/JMHT"}
