At this time, defendants, UC 39, Carpenter, McCann, and Frank arrived on duty in plain clothes in an unmarked NYPD vehicle. Defendants exited their vehicle and began searching and questioning Plaintiff. The officers then pushed plaintiff, grabbed him, and struck him on his body. The defendants also slammed the plaintiff’s head to the ground, breaking his glasses. They also kneed plaintiff in his back and twisted his arms behind his back. Plaintiff repeatedly asked they officers why they were beating and arresting him, and he received no response. The officers then, with no explanation, applied excessively tight handcuffs to plaintiff and formally arrested him. \n\nPlaintiff was then taken to the station house of the 25th Precinct where he\nwas held for several hours and searched. No guns or other contraband was found. From New York County Central Booking, plaintiff was transferred to\nBellevue Hospital to receive treatment for the injuries he sustained at the hands of the defendants. Plaintiff was then transferred back to New York County Central Booking where he was arraigned on a criminal complaint made on the basis of false allegations supplied by each of the named defendants. Plaintiff was charged pursuant to these fabricated statements. It is not alleged in the criminal complaint that plaintiff possessed drugs or exchanged money for drugs. Yet, he was charged with criminal sale and criminal possession. He was also improperly charged with resisting arrest. Each of the individual defendants provided these false statements to the New York County District Attorney’s Office and also eventually testified to these allegations in front of the Grand Jury, knowing that there was no basis to support these allegations.","documents":[{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.436456/gov.uscourts.nysd.436456.22.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920376-Graham-v-The-City-Of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4523016/graham-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"officer_name":"Frank, Robert","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-08-15","disposition_date":"2014-01-23","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","docket":"12CV03973","name":"Watson, Corey and M., M. an Inf.
