Plaintiff was at home with her mother and her nephew at the time.  The officers pushed plaintiff against the kitchen wall and held a gun to her head for approximately 25 minutes, causing injury to her right shoulder.  During this time, other officers harassed her family members and went through the apartment upturning furniture, rifling \nthrough belongings and destroying property.  Plaintiff and her family members discovered jewelry missing.  Plaintiff was then handcuffed with excessive force, causing bruising and nerve damage to her left index finger.  She was detained at the 94th Precinct for about ten hours, during which time she was denied access to a bathroom despite four separate requests.  Plaintiff was falsely charged with obstructing government administration and was arraigned, with her case later dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.347234/gov.uscourts.nyed.347234.15.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/13138383/poe-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Williams, Jeremiah vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-05-21","disposition_date":"2014-12-12","payout_amount":37500,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV02966","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Williams, Sean P.","summary":"On May 7, 2012, as plaintiff WILLIAMS was about to enter his workplace, Defendant NYPD officers NOTTWICZ and LOPEZ, wearing plainclothes – grabbed him from behind.\n\nDefendant NYPD officers NOTTWICZ and LOPEZ then swept Plaintiff WILLIAMS’ legs out from under him, causing Plaintiff WILLIAMS’ head to slam into a set of nearby stairs. Defendant NYPD officers NOTTWICZ and LOPEZ punched and struck Plaintiff several times in his head-area and around his right eye, with each punch forcing the back of Plaintiff’s head to slam into the stairs. Shortly thereafter, Defendant NYPD Lieutenant SEAN WILLIAMS used his TASER upon Plaintiff. After Plaintiff WILLIAMS was handcuffed and after the police cut his backpack off his back, the NYPD officials threw Plaintiff into the back of a police car. While in substantial pain related to the beating, Plaintiff started kicking the windows of the police vehicle.\n\nNYPD officials from the Emergency Service Unit (“ESU”) arrived on scene and placed Plaintiff WILLIAMS’ in a body wrap. At least one of the ESU officials unnecessarily put pressure or otherwise pushed on Plaintiff’s eye injury, predictably causing extreme pain. NYPD officials then transported Mr. WILLIAMS to Woodhull Hospital, where was diagnosed with a fractured orbital bone and given painkillers.\n\nShortly after, NYPD officials transported Plaintiff to the NYPD’s 94th Precinct and placed him into a cell.  Inside the cell, Plaintiff WILLIAMS repeatedly requested access to a phone. In response, Defendant Sergeant RICKY HICKS yelled back,, “SHUT UP, THIS IS MY FUCKING HOUSE.” Undeterred, Plaintiff WILLIAMS continued to request access to a phone to inform the outside world of his severe injuries.\n\nSoon thereafter, Defendant Sergeant HICKS, and Defendant Officers JOHN DOE and JANE DOE entered the cell. Defendant Sergeant HICKS punched Plaintiff WILLIAMS in the face, and Defendant Officers JOHN DOE and JANE DOE began kicking Plaintiff WILLIAMS while he was on the ground.\n\nWhile Plaintiff WILLIAMS was being kicked, at least one of the defendant NYPD officials told him, “THIS IS MY HOUSE, I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU.” Defendant NYPD officials thereafter left Plaintiff WILLIAMS in the cell, bleeding from his face and nose, and in substantial pain.\n\nAs a result of defendants’ actions, Plaintiff suffered injuries including but not limited to a fractured orbital and associated pain and suffering. As a result of his orbital blowout fracture, Plaintiff WILLIAMS has experienced impaired vision and has been repeatedly advised by medical professionals that he is at risk of a detached retina.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.342968/gov.uscourts.nyed.342968.13.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4520122/williams-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Davantes, Regina vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2013-03-12","disposition_date":"2013-07-23","payout_amount":30000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"13CV01286","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Williams, Sean P.","summary":"On December 25, 2012, Plaintiff was inside her home with Plaintiff’s son, Derrell Davantes, and Derrell’s friend Dason Beam.

Plaintiff and Derrell told the Defendants that Beam was inside their home but that the police could not enter without a warrant. A white male police officer responded by stating, “fuck that,” and tasered Derrell. Some of the taser prongs hit Plaintiff, causing her pain and injury. Defendants then dragged Plaintiff out of her home, slammed Plaintiff into a wall, twisted Plaintiff’s arms, and handcuffed Plaintiff unreasonably tight. Defendants entered and searched Plaintiff’s home and arrested Beam. Defendants did not have a warrant, consent, or exigent circumstances authorizing them to enter and search Plaintiff’s home. Defendants arrested Plaintiff, Derrell, and Beam and brought them to a precinct.\n\nIn the precinct, Defendant Lt. Sean Williams approved the arrest of Plaintiff despite knowing that the arrest was unlawful. While Plaintiff was in the precinct, Defendant Officer Alamrani, with the acquiescence and approval of the other Defendants, falsely alleged in police reports that Plaintiff unlawfully refused to allow Defendants to enter Plaintiff’s home, attempted to prevent Defendants from arresting Derrell, yelled and screamed and threw herself onto the floor, and resisted arrest. Afterward, Officer Alamrani, with the acquiescence and approval of the other Defendants, misrepresented the same information to prosecutors as in the police report above. The Kings County District Attorney’s Office declined prosecution, resulting in Plaintiff being released from custody on December 26, 2012.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.340141.11.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4322472/davantes-v-the-city-of-new-york/"}],"id":"W445","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/W445"}
