The officers searched the apartment and the individual's within but failed to recover any drugs, contraband, or evidence of a crime. Plaintiff informed the officers that the apartment was not hers, and produced her valid NY drivers' license to show proof of her address. Plaintiff was then arrested, handcuffed, and transported to the 88th Precinct where she was again searched and then processed and detained in a holding cell. Plaintiff was then transported to King's County Central Booking. PO Kern and PO \"John Doe\" falsely and maliciously instigated the commencement of a criminal prosecution of Plaintiff. On April 19th, after 36 hours in NYPD custody, Plaintiff was arraigned and charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon, among other charges. Plaintiff could not post bail so she was detained at Riker's Island until April 20th, when she was able to post bail. All charges against Plaintiff were dismissed on May 1st, 2017.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=9j8VpYbUfRGOPU/BeDQtFA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"officer_name":"Kern, Richard","disposition":"Zero Disposition","start_date":"2009-06-25","disposition_date":"2018-02-13","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","docket":"09CV02261","name":"Mineo, Michael vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":0,"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4928463-Mineo-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4319785/mineo-v-city-of-new-york/"},{"name":"Acuna v.
