The plaintiff gave a presentation with a microphone to people in the park, and was approached by NYPD Captain Mark Iocco, who asked her if she had a permit for sound.  Plaintiff had been denied a permit for amplified sound earlier in the day.  Plaintiff alleges that there were large numbers of police at Zuccotti Park which constituted an attempt to intimidate, and plaintiff alleges such intent to intimidate is abuse of process. Though plaintiff attempted to cite first amendment case law which supported her right to demonstrate at the park, NYPD officers eventually arrested her, placing her in zip-lock ties. The zip lock ties exacerbated plaintiff's preexisting arthritis and caused her to cry in pain. All of her property, including cash, her plasma screen TV, a car battery, a projector, and other items were confiscated. The officers put her in a paddy wagon with no seatbelts. Police officer Kino Cox drove erratically. She was charged with a sound ordinance violation, an obstruction violation, and for refusing to move. Plaintiff alleges that she was arrested for being in Occupy Wall Street, not for noise. She was eventually brought to Bellevue Hospital, where she remained for 8-10 hours at least.  Also while detained, the plaintiff was thrown against the wall after she resisted being scanned with an iris scanner; at this point, the police put her in handcuffs, which exacerbated her arthriitis. Plaintiff retrieved her belongings a month later, but one item was never returned and another broke while in NYPD custody.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.436475/gov.uscourts.nysd.436475.34.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4354598/hays-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/VPM-eric-grimes.jpg","socials":[{"url":"https://twitter.com/gri18538007","type":"twitter"}],"id":"VPM","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/VPM"}
