He was in the back seat of a vehicle being driven by his friend. The defendant officers, including Officer Jonathon Mendes, Sergeant Evan Hodos, and Detective Christopher Skulsky illegally stopped the vehicle without legal justification. The officers approached the car with their guns drawn, before illegally searching and seizing Plaintiff, forcibly removing him from the back of the car. Mendes, Hodos, and Skulsky slammed Plaintiff to the ground, causing him to endure substantial pain and significant physical injuries. Skulsky and Mendes applied handcuffs to Plaintiff's wrists in an excessively tight fashion. Skulsky signed a supporting deposition falsely swearing and alleging that he observed Plaintiff operating the stopped vehicle. Mendes and the arresting officer signed the criminal complaint, swearing and attesting the observations of Skulsky. The defendant officers did so with the intention of causing a prosecution against Plaintiff to begin for driving on a suspended license. Due to the officers actions', Plaintiff was deemed to have violated the conditions of his parole and was wrongfully deprived of his liberty for an additional period of approximately five months, beginning on or about August 26, 2017. On or about May 1, 2018, a trial was conducted as to the criminal charges against Plaintiff; he was acquitted of all charges. Plaintiff alleges that the officers acted with prejudice, in that they sought to falsely arrest an African-American male on parole so that he would be incarcerated.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=_PLUS_eyVaMJhDdChkKzF_PLUS_OpKBA==","type":"complaint"}]}],"id":"UERV","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/UERV"}
