Plaintiff purchased and paid for several items totaling $718. A “Loss Prevention Agent” working at Costco prevented Plaintiff from leaving the store, accused him of shoplifting, and detained him in the Costco detention area. Costco engages in a pattern and practice of profiling African American shoppers as suspected criminals. Despite showing the Costco employee and NYPD Officer Jorge Santacruz his receipt, he was searched and arrested without probable cause and taken to the 72nd Police Precinct. Plaintiff was charged with Petit Larceny and Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fifth Degree, based on a false sworn statement by the Costco employee. The Kings County District Attorney’s Office dismissed the criminal case against Plaintiff on the merits.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=rsHgwlA0qGol6cSVdUyhgA==","type":"complaint"}]}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/U4QX-jorge-santacruz.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"118056","regular":"117224","overtime":"41871","other":"21737","total":"180832"},"id":"U4QX","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/U4QX"}
