Officers Kenny Tucker and Rios threw Plaintiff against a car and illegally searched him.  Finding only a wallet and phone, Officer Tucker called his station.  In conversation with Officer Rios, Plaintiff was told he was detained because he had dropped the paper plate from his pizza.  Officer Tucker returned and announced there were two open warrants against Plaintiff and handcuffed him without any resistance.  When Plaintiff asked if his friend could take $300 from his wallet that was for his work, rather than have it taken to the station, Officer Tucker sprayed mace into the defenseless Plaintiff’s face, causing immediate and severe pain.  Plaintiff was then transported to the 69th Precinct and put in a cell for 45 minutes.  Officer Rios entered the cell and offered Plaintiff a deal – accept tickets for littering and disorderly conduct and the officers would not press more serious charges.  No warrants existing and the officers made false statements about their existence.  Plaintiff accepted, was ticketed, released, and then went to the hospital for treatment.   Plaintiff was forced to appear for both tickets, which were dropped.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.364029/gov.uscourts.nyed.364029.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/5694373/ellis-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Georgeon, Jamel vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-04-07","disposition_date":"2014-11-18","payout_amount":32500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV01941","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Rios, Michael","summary":"On November 15, 2013, POs Michael Rios and John Does 1 and 2 stopped, detained, and searched Plaintiff without legal basis.
