Plaintiff 1 ran in fear of his life and the man began chasing Plaintiff, never identifying himself as a police officer. As Plaintiff was running, someone identified themselves as police and Plaintiff 1 laid down on the floor, and an officer hit Plaintiff in the back of his head with a firearm. No contraband was found in a strip search but Plaintiff 1 was placed under arrest anyway without probable cause. In the police van, Defendant Police Officer Jerry Bowens planted drugs in Plaintiff 1's vicinity and used this as evidence to falsely arrest and charge Plaintiff 1. \n\nIn 2006, Plaintiff 2 was standing in the hallway of an apartment building when police raided the building and twice frisked Plaintiff 2 without lawful basis. Plaintiff 2, overwhelmed by being falsely incarcerated at Rikers Island, then felt compelled to plead guilty to false charges.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.507036/gov.uscourts.nyed.507036.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68067926/wrenn-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Simms, Michael vs City of Ny, et al.","start_date":"2023-12-14","disposition_date":"2025-07-01","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Zero Disposition","docket":"535675/2023","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","summary":"Plaintiff's complaint is against defendants officers Jason Arbeeny, Michael Arenella, Michael Bergman, Jerry Bowens, Richard Danese, Sasha Diaz, Michael Foder, Richard Hall, Sean Johnstone, Admir Kacamakovic, Eddie Martins, Oscar Sandino, and Henry Tavarez. P (together the \"defendants\"). Plaintiff pleaded guilty to drug charges without being told that his accusers were tainted and incredible. This resulted in unjust convictions which negatively impacted the plaintiff including the denial of housing, benefits, employment opportunitites and family reunion. \n\nA 2022 investigation revealed serious misconduct by the defendants. As a result of this investigation writs of error coram novis convicting 378 people were vacated, including this plaintiff. This was due to a pattern of unconstitutional and illegal behaviour by the defendant officers. The NYPD and the Kings County DA office was aware of this pattern of behaviour and did nothing to prevent it. The refund of any fines, fees, assessments, restitution, or other assessments already paid by the defendant in connection with the now-dismissed case was explicitly denied in all 378 cases. Plaintiff was originally arrested in December 2003 and was a minor at the time by one of the defendant officers. Plaintiff then pled guilty to a narcotics charge and was therefore a youthful offender. Prior to offering and facilitating plaintiff's guilty plea, the District Attorney's Office never informed plaintiff that the arresting officer - upon whose testimony the entire case hinged - had been engaging a pattern of unconstitutional and illegal conduct that would irredeemably tarnish the officer's credibility as a witness.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=68EPLJTv_PLUS_ghjq_PLUS_egBUSRpQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Toomer, Kathleen vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-07-18","disposition_date":"2019-05-29","payout_amount":20000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"511147/2018","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Hall, Richard R.","summary":"On March 1st, 2017, Plaintiff Kathleen Toomer was in her car when she was falsely arrested with excessive force for possession of marijuana.
