When he arrived though, Instead of releasing his properties to him, defendant officers arrested Plaintiff and interrogated him asking him questions about other people and\nincidents. Plaintiff duly informed defendant officers that he was at the precinct to pick up his properties as agreed and Defendant officers in response assaulted Plaintiff forcibly grabbing, punching, pushing, pulling, kicking, and shoving him. Plaintiff sustained serious injuries from the assault and was transported to the hospital where he was seen and/or treated for his injuries. They then performed a search on him which did not recover any contraband, but they still continued to detain Plaintiff. The officers also falsely stated to the prosecutors that the plaintiff committed ‘Obstructing governmental administration in the second degree’ and ‘Resisting arrest’ and then falsified police reports, which caused Plaintiff to be criminally charged. Six months later, the court concluding that there was no probable cause to arrest and/or prosecute the plaintiff summarily dismissed the false charges levied against the plaintiff.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.468444/gov.uscourts.nyed.468444.17.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/60219237/holley-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Moreno, Louis vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2020-09-28","disposition_date":"2025-06-02","payout_amount":32500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"716991/2020","court":"Supreme Court - Queens","officer_name":"Gridley, John","summary":"On September 13, 2018, at approximately 1:00 PM, in the vicinity of 151-20 Baisley Boulevard near 150th Street, within the County of Queens, plaintiff contends he was targeted on the basis of his race.
