On said date but a few hours before said time Defendants allegedly observed a sale and transaction involving narcotics and falsely attributed said sale and transaction to Plaintiff, without probable cause, reasonable suspicion, valid search or arrest warrant, or any legal justification as to the commission of unlawful conduct on the part of Plaintiff. On said date and time, Plaintiff was lawfully present in the vicinity of this complained-of- incident and had committed no crime nor engaged in any conduct whatsoever to suggest that Plaintiff was involved and/or related to the commission of a crime. Defendants then appeared in the vicinity of this complained-of-incident and illegally approached and falsely accused Plaintiff of a crime before illegally seizing his person with their outstretched hands violently and aggressively grabbing Plaintiff’s head and body, without probable cause, reasonable suspicion, valid search or arrest warrant, or any legal justification whatsoever as to the commission of unlawful conduct on the part of Plaintiff. Defendants then illegally searched Plaintiff’s person by aggressively shoving their hands into his clothes and intimate areas. Defendants then grabbed Plaintiff about his body and extremities before violently contorting his arms and wrists behind his back and applying excessively tightened metal handcuffs, causing plaintiff to experience significant pain and discomfort. Plaintiff requested that the handcuffs be loosened, but said defendants ignored plaintiff’s pleas and conducted an illegal search of his person. Defendants then placed Plaintiff in a police vehicle and transported him against his will to the NYPD 40th Precinct where he was fingerprinted, photographed, strip-searched with attendant cavity inspection, questioned as to his pedigree, illegally interrogated without presence of counsel and being Mirandized, and illegally detained in a dank and dirty cell for a length of time before being transported to Central Booking, where Plaintiff was again processed pursuant to criminal incarceration and illegally detained throughout various dank and dirty cells over the course of a length of time until their release from physical custody of Defendants on or about December 2, 2022, after his arraignment. As a result, Plaintiff was deprived of his liberty over the course of approximately thirty (30) hours.  The criminal prosecution initiated by Defendants was terminated in Plaintiff’s favor when all adverse charges under Bronx County Criminal Court Docket No. CR-021776-22BX were unconditionally dismissed and sealed, pursuant to §§ 160.50 and 160.60 of the Criminal Procedure Law on or about March 1, 2023, likely due to a lack of probable cause to believe Plaintiff committed any criminal offense.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=DEOt_PLUS_KW3iQ9SuLzKwSqTwQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Balde, Alpha vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2023-07-20","disposition_date":"2024-03-21","payout_amount":47500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"811043/2023E","court":"Supreme Court - Bronx","summary":"On May 24, 2023, Defendant Officers Roveto, Cruz, MartinezCabrera, Doe and Roe were on duty near St. Mary's Street and Beekman Avenue in the Bronx.
