The officers allegedly fabricated police reports and provided false information to the New York County District Attorney’s Office. Mr. Blake was detained for approximately 60 days, during which he was subjected to multiple court appearances before all charges were dismissed on June 30, 2015.

Over ten unidentified police officers, including John Does #1-10, broke down the door, entered the apartment with guns drawn and a police dog, and ordered the plaintiffs to freeze. The officers handcuffed Esannason and Mejia behind their backs and later took all three plaintiffs to the police precinct. Walker was left seated in a chair with her hands handcuffed around a pole for several hours and later taken to a holding cell where her medication was confiscated. All plaintiffs were taken to Manhattan central booking, and Walker was treated at Bellevue Hospital for dehydration while still handcuffed. The charges against all plaintiffs were eventually dropped. Walker, Esannason, and Mejia suffered injuries and emotional distress due to the excessive use of force, false arrest, and false imprisonment by the officers.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=ZnJrdCfG5yAJcdzKV_PLUS_Zehg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"officer_name":"Ayala, Deon","disposition":"Zero Disposition","start_date":"2012-08-07","disposition_date":"2014-06-25","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","docket":"12CV05148","name":"Dudley, Samuel vs Knight, Keith, et al.","payout_amount":0,"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5378179-Dudley-v-Knight-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13053410/dudley-v-knight/"},{"name":"Harrigan et al v.
