Plaintiff drove to her house, and as he approached, one of the Defendant officers grabbed Plaintiff's arm, pulled him into the house, and handcuffed him. The Defendant officers began interrogating Plaintiff about drugs and guns, to which Plaintiff protested that he did not live in this residence and knew nothing about any drugs or guns. Defendants then placed Plaintiff in an NYPD vehicle and transported him to the 120th Precinct. Defendant PO Andrew Fago created false allegations to charge Plaintiff with Possession of a Controlled Substance and Marijuana. Plaintiff was released at arraignment on his own recognizance. The charges were dismissed on November 7, 2013. As a consequence of the legal proceedings against him, Plaintiff was suspended without pay from his job as a commercial driver.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920343-Minnis-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.364717/gov.uscourts.nyed.364717.13.0.pdf","type":"complaint"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4520383/minnis-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Stewart, Ameir, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2014-05-15","disposition_date":"2016-09-20","payout_amount":22503,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"14CV02854","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Dicrescento, Vincent","summary":"On May 29, 2013, the Defendant officers violently invaded the Plaintiffs’ home in Richmond County, NY, and falsely arrested each of them. Defendant officers awoke Plaintiff Stewart with a chokehold and headlock, forcefully grabbed him by the back of his neck, and repeatedly struck and punched Plaintiff Stewart in the jaw, face and body without cause or provocation. Defendant Officers applied handcuffs too tightly, causing Plaintiff Stewart pain in his hands and wrists. Defendant Officers were observed proceeding from various other locations around the Plaintiffs’ house into Plaintiff Stewart’s room to strike him multiple times each, with no apparent law enforcement purpose.\nPlaintiffs were transported to the 120th Precinct, where they were charged with violations and crimes they did not commit. While at the Precinct, Plaintiff Stewart, multiple times, requested medical treatment. Defendants ignored and mocked Plaintiff Stewart’s requests, threatening him with extended detention if he received medical treatment. Plaintiffs were held in police custody for approximately 35 hours before their release. On May 30, 2013, all charges against Plaintiffs were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal at their arraignments, and dismissed and sealed approximately 6 months later.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920141-Stewart-et-al-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.356189.16.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4920142-Stewart-et-al-v-The-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4323355/stewart-v-the-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Brown v.
