P.O. Precious Cummings placed a pick-up order and complained that her milkshake tasted strange.  In response, the store manager gave her and other officers with her coupons for free meals.  Another group of officers, including P.O.s  Genesis Nova-Diaz and Edwin Reyes-Estrada, arrived and placed milkshake orders, and later claimed falsely that they had been poisoned.  Yet another group of officers, including P.O.s Elliot Zinstein and Brian Query, arrived and declared the area to be a \"crime scene.\"  Plaintiff and 4 other Shake Shack employees were instructed to remain at the premises.  An unidentified officer demanded to see plaintiff's identification.  P.O.s Cummings, Nova-Diaz, and Reyes-Estrada reported falsely that they had been poisoned with an unknown cleaning agent and became ill from drinking the milkshakes.  The Detectives Endowment Association put out a statement on Twitter claiming falsely that three officers had been poisoned.  Afterward, the hashtag \"BoycottShakeShack\" was trending on Twitter.  At no point was plaintiff told why she was being detained.  Plaintiff was then detained at the precinct for 2 to 3 more hours.  She was questioned in a harassing manner by P.O.s Albert Vitarelli and Det. Lawrence Wien.  Neither plaintiff nor any Shake Shack employee was ever charged with a crime.  None of the officers ever became actually sick (they were released from the hospital after showing no symptoms).  Thereafter, the Shake Shack received threatening comments by members of the public via social media and phone calls.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.562876/gov.uscourts.nysd.562876.48.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/60038193/ojeda-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Gilliam, Marcus, et Al vs Lynch, Patrick, et al.","start_date":"2021-06-17","disposition_date":"2022-08-04","payout_amount":72000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"21CV05263","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","summary":"On June 15, 2020, three officers ordered shakes from Shake Shack at Fulton Transit center. Officers complained their shake did not taste right and complained to plaintiff Gilliam, who offered them vouchers as an apology. The order was placed on the mobile app, so employees could not have known the order was from officers. Yet the officers accused plaintiffs of putting a toxic substance in their milkshake. However, the officers did not get sick or exhibit any signs of ingesting a toxic substance. Yet, Sergeant Zinstein set up a crime scene at the Shake Shack and detained all employees. Plaintiff cooperated and allowed them to search the premise and watch surveillance video and provided them samples from the shakes.\nDespite the lack of evidence, the DEA tweeted that the Shake Shake had poisoned the officers. Zinstein then arrested plaintiffs and had them taken to the precinct where they were interrogated one by one. Plaintiffs were eventually released at 2;30 AM and no charges were ever filed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.561912/gov.uscourts.nysd.561912.30.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/59983739/gilliam-v-lynch/"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/RCV3-precious-cummings.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"109352","regular":"94154","overtime":"11463","other":"18151","total":"123767"},"id":"RCV3","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/RCV3"}
