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/"},{"officer_name":"Bopp, Michael J.","start_date":"2019-09-10","court":"U.S. District Court - Southern District NY","docket":"19CV05832","name":"Suares, Olivia vs City of New York, et al.","county":"['Bronx']","summary":"On March 23, 2018 plaintiff was asleep in her home at 4:30 AM.

Plaintiff called defendant White, who told him to appear at the 44th precinct. Upon his arrival, the Plaintiff was placed under arrest based on an accusation that he committed a robbery at knife-point. The defendants did not produce a warrant for his arrest. He was handcuffed, fingerprinted, and placed in a cell. The handcuffs were placed excessively tight and held in place for several hours, resulting in blood loss, numbness, and superficial bruising. The Plaintiff was assaulted and battered by the arresting officers. Detective James White, Officer Claudio Velez, Officers Calvin Black, Jason Valentino, and John Ortiz, Sergeant Letty Donley, Ray Fuller, Sergeant Jesse Hernandez, Vincent Trozzi, and Michael Bopp verbally abused and intimidated the Plaintiff. He was transported to Central Booking where he was held for 24 hours, and then he was released. \n\nThe Plaintiff told the officers that he was at work at the time of the crime and gave the name and number of a supervisor who could confirm his alibi. He also provided his metro card so that the officers could verify that he was not near the location of the alleged crime at the time of the offense, but the officers did not attempt to verify his innocence. The Plaintiff also learned that he did not fit the description of the robber. His roommates informed him that previously officers had come to his apartment regarding the same allegations and showed the robbery victim a lineup of his roommates. The victim said that none of the roommates fit the description of the robber because they were “African” whereas the assailant was an “American black male.” The plaintiff comes from Mali, Africa and speaks very little English with a heavy accent.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.461338/gov.uscourts.nysd.461338.29.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4524164/abdoulaye-v-city-of-new-york/"}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24441170-bronx-notified-officers-list-edited_redacted-redacted_redacted","type":"credibility-finding"}],"id":"WXMP","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/WXMP"}
