After getting his ID, they began walking down the street when 3-4 police officers jumped out of a vehicle with tinted windows and told them to stop walking. The officers proceeded to search Mr. May-Shaw and Ms. Morris but discovered nothing. The officers placed both individuals in handcuffs and placed them in separate unmarked cars. The officers then went to search the rental car. \n\nMr. May-Shaw was brought to the precinct, where officers interrogated him and claimed they found narcotics in the rental car. The officers coerced Mr. May-Shaw into signing a statement that he possessed narcotics in exchange for releasing Ms. Morris. They then went to search the hotel room and informed Mr. May-Shaw he would be charged with a felony drug charge and Ms. Morris would be charged with a misdemeanor drug charge. The defendant officers fabricated evidence that they provided to the DA. As a result, Mr. May-Shaw was indicted and held on Rikers Island until the charges were dismissed. However, the officers never returned Mr. May-Shaw's property to him, including almost $12,000.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.434671/gov.uscourts.nyed.434671.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}]},{"officer_name":"Denora, John","disposition":"Zero Disposition","start_date":"2017-12-21","disposition_date":"2018-06-01","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","docket":"523122/2017","name":"Amica Mutual Ins Co A/s/o Winnick, David vs Police Department, Nyc, et al.","payout_amount":0},{"name":"Hogan, Robert Aka May-Shaw, Christopher Peyton vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-11-01","disposition_date":"2021-02-26","payout_amount":65000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"17CV05591","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Denora, John","summary":"On June 15, 2016, NYPD officers pulled over the plaintiff, falsely alleging that the vehicle he was in (not his own car, but a Porsche he was transporting from Michigan to its new owner in NY) had a forged license plate and illegally tinted windows. Officers arrested plaintiff immediately, searched him, then impounded and searched the vehicle. The one arresting officer, searching the vehicle alone, claimed to have found handgun under the driver seat in front of where plaintiff was sitting, though she had earlier made inconsistent statements about the gun's location. Plaintiff denies having any connection to or knowledge of the gun. NYPD seized plaintiff's personal property, which included electronics, accessories and clothing, documents, and $6747. Except for some one of the documents, all of plaintiff's possessions were not invoiced and remain \"missing.\" Plaintiff was then maliciously prosecuted for 13 months, where the arresting officer made numerous false claims in court. On July  21, 2017, the criminal case against plaintiff was dismissed.\n\nOn August 8, 2016, NYPD officers again arrested plaintiff (and his girlfriend) when he was back in NY to fight the earlier criminal case, allegedly upon suspicion (an anonymous tip) that he was participating in a drug deal, as they were leaving their hotel. Officers searched plaintiff's girlfriend's vehicle, parked outside the hotel, seizing his backpack and its contents in the process. At the precinct, plaintiff was searched and interrogated by at least four officers. Under duress, he authorized officers to search his hotel room, where they subsequently went and seized all of his possessions. Plaintiff was again maliciously prosecuted for seven moths. Evidence adduced at trial contradicted NYPD's account. The second case against plaintiff was also dismissed voluntarily by the DA, who refused to put the reason for the dismissal on the record despite the court's request they do so. \n\nIn conjunction with both arrests and criminal cases, plaintiff spent about 12.6 months detained at Rikers and made 32 different court appearances. None of plaintiff's possessions were ever returned, nor was he provided with notice/vouchers about how to reclaim his possessions of obtain compensation.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.407404/gov.uscourts.nyed.407404.130.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6174602/may-shaw-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/KLNZ-john-denora.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"134819","regular":"130674","overtime":"53099","other":"20515","total":"204288"},"id":"KLNZ","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/KLNZ"}
