Upon arrival, he sat on his stoop and conversed with friends. Shortly thereafter, defendant police officers Pearce Martinez and John Doe #1 were called to the deli to respond to an alleged robbery. They approached the plaintiff, stating they needed to arrest him for the theft of a six-pack of beer from Howard Deli. The plaintiff asserted he had paid for the beer and that the surveillance video from Howard Deli would confirm his purchase. The officers instructed the plaintiff to stand and approach them, to which he asked if they had reviewed the surveillance footage.\n\nWithout warning or provocation, the officers forcibly handcuffed the plaintiff. While escorting him to their police vehicle, one officer punched the plaintiff between his neck and shoulder and kneed him in the rib cage. At the 81st precinct, the plaintiff experienced breathing difficulties due to his injuries and was taken to Interfaith Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with contused ribs and a right shoulder tear. He remained in the hospital overnight, handcuffed to the bed, and was prohibited by the officers from informing medical personnel about the cause of his injuries.\n\nThe next morning, defendant officer John Doe #2 returned the plaintiff to the 81st precinct and placed him in a dark room. There, he was interrogated by defendant officers Lim Taejin and Lt. Wilson, to which he did not respond. Ultimately, the plaintiff was charged, on August 9, 2017, with petty larceny and resisting arrest, with members of the NYPD filing false and misleading reports to the District Attorney’s Office.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=CfTZjlWxxcUCbiAb2AEb8w==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Jennings, Thomas vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2017-06-05","disposition_date":"2019-08-22","payout_amount":325000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"17CV03172","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Martinez, Pearce","summary":"Plaintiff was inside a corner store when the defendant, Police Officer Lutchman approached and arrested him.
