At 12:00 p.m., defendants stormed into the apartment, in plain clothes and had their guns drawn and pointed at plaintiff. Plaintiff was standing in the kitchen and threw himself on the ground for fear of being killed. Plaintiff remained on the ground, facedown, waiting for defendants' instructions. One defendant stood over plaintiff, grabbed his arms, pinned them behind his back, and handcuffed his wrists together with metal cuffs, applying the handcuffs tightly to plaintiff’s wrists. Plaintiff asked defendants to loosen the tight handcuffs, but instead they tightened them, causing more pain. Defendants searched and arrested plaintiff. Defendants took plaintiff to the 83rd Precinct. At the Precinct, defendants took several personal items from plaintiff, and plaintiff was never able recover those items. Defendants transmitted false information to the Brooklyn DA claiming plaintiff illegally possessed weapons and drugs. After several hours, the defendants took plaintiff to Central Booking and charged with Criminal Possession. Plaintiff pled not guilty. The court ordered plaintiff held on $150,000 cash bail—an amount that he was not able to pay. After arraignment plaintiff was taken to Rikers Island. At Rikers, plaintiff was subjected to abhorrent conditions. After five days, plaintiff was released, because the Brooklyn DA failed to secure an indictment within the time limits prescribed by law. On September 23, 2022, the DA dismissed the charges against plaintiff, because no nexus existed between plaintiff and the contraband defendants allegedly recovered from the apartment.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=aB3D/RkBGIua/Xh/EHNQPw==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Clarke, Dain vs Citty of New York, et al.","start_date":"2019-04-11","disposition_date":"2020-01-02","payout_amount":20000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"507891/2019","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Willis, Ebony","summary":"On November 3, 2018, Plaintiff was unlawfully handcuffed and falsely arrested by the defendant police officer without probable cause or any legal justification.
