After Plaintiff exited the vehicle, at least two NYPD members, including Melody Robinson and Dennis Mogelnicki, pulled up in an unmarked police car and told Plaintiff to freeze. Two officers then proceeded to search Plaintiff, and held him to his car, while they searched Plaintiff's car without permission. The officers then arrested Plaintiff without probable cause and took him to a local NYPD station where he was told he was being charged with criminal possession of a handgun, ammunition and holster. Plaintiff was then taken to Queens County Central Booking where he was held for an additional period of time. During this time, Officer Mogelnicki completed arrest paperwork, in which he knowingly made false allegations. Mogelnicki sent these false allegations, with Officer Robinson's knowledge and approval, to justify Plaintiff's arrest. As a result, Plaintiff was charged with three felony charges at his arraignment, and was kept in custody against his will until around November 30, 2012.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.350927/gov.uscourts.nyed.350927.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13050633/smith-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/22119244-937118_01122010_2010016pdf","date":"2010-01-12T00:00:00.000Z","type":"trial-decision"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/SSQV-dennis-mogelnicki.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"119980","regular":"115753","overtime":"63279","other":"28208","total":"207240"},"id":"SSQV","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/SSQV"}
