Before that date, Plaintiff had been repeatedly threatened by Defendant Candres and Vilato that he would be locked up in jail. On November 18, 2013. approximately at 2:30 AM, the ambulance came and brought Klein to Bellevue Hospital Center upon her refusal. Defendant Macchio investigated Klein's allegations against plaintiff and refused to arrest plaintiff who was also present at said hospital, but advised Plaintiff to wait for Defendant Candres. Defendant Candres and Fontaine arrived and arrested Plaintiff without meaningful investigation, and Defendant Macchio failed to intervene.\n\nPlaintiff was charged with assault in the second degree (two counts), criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation and placed in jail for thirty days. During the grand jury hearing, defendants did not make a complete and full statement of facts to the grand jury and the District Attorney; defendants misrepresented or falsified evidence; and defendants withheld evidence and otherwise acted in bad faith. A grand jury indicted for assault in the second degree (two counts), assault in the third degree, and harassment in the second degree, but Plaintiff was released and a criminal judge dismissed all charged against him on November 19, 2014.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.438130/gov.uscourts.nysd.438130.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/5590125/hill-v-candres/"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/KN3-maria-candres.jpg","id":"KN3","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/KN3"}
