Alexander (Shield #18730), Police Officer Kiersten L. Chambers (Shield #26702), and other unidentified officers. The complaint states that officers grabbed Wiggins, threw him face-first into a metal gate, forcibly handcuffed him, and then threw him to the ground, where he was repeatedly punched and dragged into a police vehicle. Wiggins was transported to the 79th Precinct, where he was placed in a holding cell. Despite requesting medical attention for his injuries, he was initially denied treatment before eventually receiving care from Emergency Medical Services and being transported to Woodhull Hospital under police custody. He was later taken back to the 79th Precinct and held at Kings County Central Booking until his arraignment on September 14, 2023, when he was released on his own recognizance.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=genBqMdzzk0PHxWISBRTgQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Downing, Virginia vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2024-05-20","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"513878/2024","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","summary":"On February 21, 2023, the Plaintiff received a worried call from his 16-year-old son, who asked her to come downstairs from her apartment building. She did so and found her son pushed against a police car, surrounded by approximately five Police Officers. She repeatedly asked them what was going on, but they replied that she had to wait without providing any other information. The Police Officers then handcuffed her son, and one of them punched him in the face and side, and kneed him. The Plaintiff repeatedly asked why they were arresting her son, pleading with them to stop because he was only 16, but nobody listened to her. Instead, one of the Defendants pushed her and told her to move away. She complied, moving from the street to the sidewalk. The Defendants then started hitting her son. The Plaintiff asked them to stop, repeating that her son was only a child. They replied with profanities (“I don’t give a fuck”/“back the fuck up”) and threatened the Plaintiff that if she didn’t stop, they would arrest her. The Plaintiff complied with their request. The Plaintiff’s son was taken to the precinct by the police car. The Plaintiff went to the precinct as well, along with her son’s girlfriend and a relative. She asked to speak with the Defendant Forbes and/or another Defendant, but while she was waiting for them, she was arrested and tightly handcuffed. The Plaintiff told multiple officers that handcuffs were too tight, causing bruises, but they refused to loosen or adjust them. She was arrested for ‘resisting arrest’ although no officers had previously trying to arrest her, and she had never resisted. During the arrest, Defendants refused to provide Plaintiff with sufficient food, water, or medication, despite being aware that she suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure. As a result, she felt unwell and was taken to the hospital, where she remained for three hours. The Defendants fabricated false allegations and forwarded such information to the District Attorney Office. As a result, the Plaintiff was falsely charged with the crimes of resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration, assault, and harassment, although there was no physical or other reliable evidence that she had committed any crime. On October 20, 2023, the Court dismissed the Plaintiff’s charges.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=Qh5laIQBf2bFKFM/0G8YvQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Hardy, Michael, et Al vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2023-06-06","disposition_date":"2025-04-24","payout_amount":80002,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"23CV03794","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","summary":"On February 23, 2022, Plaintiffs, who are of African-American descent, were lawfully present in an apartment, where they lived as tenants, when PO Meyers and other police officers, all Caucasian, entered their apartment in an aggressive manner and without a warrant. Four or five armed officers carrying assault style rifles and wearing tactical gear with bullet proof vests surrounded Plaintiff 1 in the apartment. Plaintiff 1 was partially undressed at the time the officers came into the apartment and was in the process of putting on his socks and shirt. The officers restrained Plaintiff 1, grabbed the sock from his hand and threw it aside, preventing him from putting it on his foot. The officers refused to permit Plaintiff 1 to put on a shirt, and placed separate handcuffs on each of his wrists. Plaintiff 2 pleaded with the officers to leave Plaintiff 1 alone, telling the officers that Plaintiff 1 had not done anything. Plaintiff 2 was then arrested. Plaintiff 1, handcuffed and still partially naked – in that he was still without any shirt, shoes or left sock – was dragged into the hallway while the officers searched his apartment without permission or a warrant. Plaintiff 1, still partially naked, was then dragged out of the building, into the freezing air and in front of the general public. Plaintiff 1 pleaded with the officers while he kept telling them he had not done anything wrong. PO turned and pushed Plaintiff 1’s face against a nearby police transport vehicle, injuring Plaintiff 1’s left hand, left shoulder, and back. Plaintiff 1 continued to plead with the officers saying he had not done anything wrong when one of the officers struck Plaintiff 1 in the mouth. Both Plaintiffs were taken to a police precinct where they were searched. While at the precinct, Plaintiff 1 requested and was denied medical attention. After several hours, the officers brought Plaintiff 1, bound and shackled at his feet and still partially naked, in the freezing rain to court. Plaintiffs were arraigned and charged with several crimes. All the charges were later dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.497603/gov.uscourts.nyed.497603.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67412120/hardy-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Campbell, Jamal vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2021-12-09","disposition_date":"2023-04-20","payout_amount":20000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"21CV06746","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","summary":"On or about August 21 2020 was stopped by officers while driving a rental car.
