Some of the defendants were in uniform, while others were not. The officers asked Plaintiff if any gunshots were heard from her home, and informed Plaintiff that someone had been shot in the apartment located under her apartment’s bedroom. Plaintiff responded she had not heard any gunshots. Officers rushed into Plaintiff’s bedroom without consent, where her daughter’s boyfriend and daughter were present. Despite Plaintiff telling them there were no guns in her home, officers falsely insisted that a bullet had emanated from Plaintiff’s apartment, striking someone in the apartment below. \nAfter 30-45 minutes, Plaintiff and her daughter were brought to the Precinct for questioning, and Plaintiff’s daughter’s boyfriend was handcuffed and formally arrested. Plaintiff was shown four bullets that officers claimed were found in her apartment. Plaintiff was held in the Precinct for approximately two hours before being permitted to leave with her daughter. Upon returning home, Plaintiff found NYPD officers still inside her home. Officers told Plaintiff she could not enter her home unless she signed a permission to search form. Plaintiff was compelled under duress to sign the form before being able to re-enter her apartment. Later that evening, Detective Andre Smith called Plaintiff’s daughter back to the Precinct, and Plaintiff accompanied her. Detectives Hennessy and Andre Smith questioned Plaintiff and her daughter about a non-existent hole they claimed to have found in the floor of Plaintiff’s bedroom.\nPlaintiff later received a subpoena from the Bronx D.A.’s office, purporting to require her to testify before a grand jury. On August 16, 2018, Plaintiff arrived at the location stated on the subpoena. Instead of a grand jury, she was met by employees of the D.A.’s office, defendants Nyonyo, ADA Horton, and ADA Zarcone, who tried to get a recorded statement from Plaintiff. When Plaintiff refused to provide information that would help them prosecute Plaintiff’s daughter’s boyfriend, the D.A.’s office sought Plaintiff’s indictment and arrest based upon false and misleading information provided by NYPD. On August 24, 2018, Plaintiff was indicted and wrongfully charged of crimes related to the shooting. On September 12, 2017, Plaintiff was arrested at her home by NYPD officers and questioned at the Precinct by Defendants Rivera and Baker. She was booked and held for over a day before being arraigned and released.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.528167/gov.uscourts.nysd.528167.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/16573033/suares-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Lopez, Sasha vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-08-19","disposition_date":"2014-04-03","payout_amount":10000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV05197","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","officer_name":"Rivera, Jonathan","summary":"On August 6, 2009, Sasha Lopez (the plaintiff), then a 16-year-old female, was arrested without probable cause, incarcerated, and charged with five felonies, five misdemeanors, and a violation. The charges stemmed from an incident where Jim Ocampo was robbed of a watch by three individuals in the Bronx. At the time of the robbery, the plaintiff was several blocks away from the scene with her boyfriend. The plaintiff and her boyfriend were visiting his ill mother. When they came downstairs from the mother's apartment, they were accosted by two uniformed NYPD officers on the sidewalk. The plaintiff was wearing a watch similar to the one that had been stolen. The defendant police officer handcuffed the plaintiff and seized her watch. Then, the plaintiff was brought over to an unmarked police car so that she could be viewed by whoever was in the back seat of the police car. The plaintiff was identified by the person in the back seat of the police vehicle. The plaintiff was then taken to a local police precinct where she was repeatedly questioned without her parents being present or notified. After being held in custody for over 24 hours, the plaintiff was brought before a Criminal Court Judge and arraigned on the charges. Her seized watch was returned to her. After being indicted by a Grand Jury, the plaintiff was released on her own recognizance into the custody of her parents and returned to court repeatedly over the next two years.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.415320/gov.uscourts.nysd.415320.1.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13054810/lopez-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"payroll":{"salary":"154751","regular":"149299","overtime":"75777","other":"22237","total":"247312"},"id":"VWJM","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/VWJM"}
