The plaintiff was falsely arrested by the defendant officers and wrongfully convicted of Criminal Possession and Sale of a Controlled Substance after NYPD Detective Joseph Franco and other defendant officers lied under oath about the facts of his case. Subsequently, the plaintiff was unlawfully imprisoned at a precinct before being sentenced to approximately two and a half years of incarceration, which he served at several New York State Correctional Facilities. During his incarceration, the plaintiff was denied proper medical treatment, his right to due process, and a fair trial for the false charges. These charges were ultimately dismissed and sealed on September 24, 2021, after Detective Franco was indicted on at least sixteen (16) criminal counts of perjury and official misconduct in relation to narcotics arrests during his time with the NYPD.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=G12RV8GAW1tEUeSvO/bzng==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Plaza, Zukeila, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2020-06-26","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"026429/2020E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Carbonell, Rolando","summary":"On October 25, 2019, Plaintiffs were lawfully on the street.

Officers disabled the lock to the apartment with a hand-drill and then rammed their way into the apartment. The officers were dressed in full riot gear and screamed at the Plaintiffs to get on the floor. Officers shoved Plaintiff mother to the floor causing her extreme terror. Officers cuffed Plaintiff mother and then burst into Plaintiff daughter's bedroom with guns drawn. Once both Plaintiffs were handcuffed, officers placed them on the couch and asked where the drugs were. Plaintiffs explained that they did not have any drugs. Officers threatened to take Plaintiff's dog away and ruin their home if they did not tell them where the drugs were. When Plaintiffs continued to state there were not drugs in the home, the officers conducted an excessively destructive search of the home. Officers never found drugs in the apartment. After the search of the home, Officer Bennett took Plaintiff mother into her room and conducted an illegal strip search. Officer Bennett then repeated this with Plaintiff daughter. Plaintiffs were then taken out of the apartment and placed in an unmarked police van for 2 hours. Plaintiff mother was removed from the van and questioned about drugs again. When it yielded no result, Plaintiff mother was placed back inside the van. The van then drove around the block 4 times before both were eventually released without charge.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.410681/gov.uscourts.nysd.410681.3.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13054131/bennett-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Hart, Melvin vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-04-02","disposition_date":"2014-09-09","payout_amount":17500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"300196/2013","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Carbonell, Rolando"},{"name":"Wright, Frank vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-03-20","disposition_date":"2015-07-13","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"309600/2012","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","officer_name":"Carbonell, Rolando"},{"officer_name":"Carbonell, Rolando","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-09-24","disposition_date":"2015-07-08","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","docket":"022091/2012","name":"Gelsomino, Matthew, et Al vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":115000},{"officer_name":"Carbonell, Rolando","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2011-10-17","disposition_date":"2015-03-20","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","docket":"308990/2011","name":"Deleon, Johnathan and Pacheco, Myriam J. vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":45000},{"officer_name":"Carbonell, Rolando","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2009-11-19","disposition_date":"2015-03-25","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","docket":"308010/2009","name":"Delacruz, Rosario vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":40000}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"payroll":{"salary":"134819","regular":"136158","overtime":"94479","other":"24295","total":"254932"},"id":"PQ7F","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/PQ7F"}
