Plaintiff entered the store bought the food, exited the store and walked back to his truck. Defendants approached, stopped, and pushed plaintiff. Defendants advised they “needed” to speak “about plaintiff’s brother-in-law,” who lived down the street. Plaintiff advised he was working and could not speak with them during work hours. Officers demanded to see plaintiff’s company ID, then asked if they could search his company truck. Plaintiff complied with the demand for ID, and advised he would ask his supervisor, over the radio, whether they could search his truck. Defendants did not wait for plaintiff to radio his supervisor, detained plaintiff, confiscated his company radio and personal cell phone, and demanded plaintiff walk several blocks with them to his brother-in-law’s house. At plaintiff’s brother-in-law’s house, defendants confined plaintiff and questioned him about his brother-in-law’s involvement in criminal activity, which plaintiff knew nothing about, for over two hours. Plaintiff’s employer repeatedly called over the company radio and on plaintiff’s cell because they did not know where he was and why he had not reported back to the office at the end of his tour. Officers refused to allow plaintiff to answer the calls. Plaintiff politely asked the officers again whether they would permit plaintiff to answer his employers radio calls and let his job know why plaintiff did not return to work. One defendant forcefully struck plaintiff in the back of his head with the handle of the officers’ gun. An unmarked police vehicle arrived at 126th St and 14th Ave, plaintiff was ordered to get in the vehicle, plaintiff complied and he was transported to a police station and locked in a holding cell until later that night. Defendants issued plaintiff a summons containing fabricated allegations, charging disorderly conduct. Plaintiff was released from custody. Plaintiff asked officers if they could call his employer to explain where he was, but officers refused. On October 31, 2012, when plaintiff  returned to his job his supervisor informed him he was suspended because he had disappeared with no explanation. Plaintiff spoke with his supervisor about what occurred and his supervisor said he needed to get documentation from the police to prove where he was. On November 1, 2011, plaintiff returned to the precinct and requested a written note from defendants, addressed to plaintiff’s employer explaining plaintiff was detained in police custody on October 28, 2011. After plaintiff determined he would be unable to convince officers to write to his employer, plaintiff exited the stationhouse, but a defendant stopped and arrested him again. Defendants placed plaintiff in an investigation room and told him they had found stolen property at his brother-in-law’s house, and told plaintiff there was a burglary that occurred near his brother-in-law’s home that occurred on October 28, 2011. Defendants falsified evidence against plaintiff, provided the DA with false evidence against plaintiff and signed a criminal complaint that contained false allegations, causing a criminal prosecution to be initiated and continued. Plaintiff was transported to Queens Central Booking where he was detained until arraignment. On November 3, 2011, plaintiff was arraigned and charged with Burglary and Grand Larceny that occurred in June 2011. Plaintiff appeared in Court on at least five occasions and forced to endure a lengthy prosecution that lasted over a year. On November 16, 2012, all criminal charges brought were dismissed in their entirety.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=NHb3O6iPgS83G5N0c2a2EA==","type":"complaint"}]}],"id":"QBFD","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/QBFD"}
