Officers from the NYPD, including Lieutenant Joseph Rinaldi, responded to the scene. Despite no physical resistance from Woodson, she was arrested. During the arrest, Officer Rinaldi and other officers used excessive force, including slamming Woodson’s head into a police vehicle. At the 52nd precinct, Woodson was further mistreated: her property was confiscated without proper documentation, and she was subjected to verbal and physical abuse. She was charged with obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct, though the charges were later dismissed. Woodson sustained both physical and emotional injuries as a result of the incident.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=9l3nZSKg1bNzj96EYM9s3w==","type":"complaint"}]}],"discipline":[{"case_no":"2013-10932","disposition_date":"2014-08-26","penalty":"Forfeiture of twelve (12) vacation days","opened_date":"2014-03-11","charges":[{"desc":"Did fail and neglect to ensure a Patrol Supervisor was on patrol for two (2) hours during the 1st platoon","disposition":"Guilty"},{"desc":"Failed to remain alert in that he was observed to be seated in a chair, with his head back, and his eyes closed, while in the Supervisor's lounge","disposition":"Guilty"},{"desc":"Did fail to inspect the activity logs of the patrol supervisors assigned to the 1st platoon for the entire month","disposition":"Guilty"}],"documents":[{"name":"Document","url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4419049-nypd-cases-430.html"}]}],"id":"RDGQ","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/RDGQ"}
