Mr. Brown immediately advised the defendant police officers that plaintiff had a medical condition that required that he take seizure medication and advised the defendant police officers that he had not taken his seizure medication yet that day. Instead of allowing plaintiff to take his seizure medication, the defendant police officers willfully, maliciously, and negligently prevented Mr. Brown from taking his seizure medication. The defendants then placed Mr. Brown into an NYPD vehicle against his will and transported him to the NYPD 69th precinct, where he was confined to an interrogation room. Mr. Brown was unlawfully interrogated by the defendant police officers and questioned regarding an incident that occurred on April 3, 2019 between several teenage boys, an incident in which Mr. Brown was not involved. At approximately 9:30 a.m., while unlawfully in the custody of the defendant police officers at the 69th precinct, Mr. Brown began suffering a violent seizure. As a result of the seizure, EMS was called to the 69th Precinct and Mr. Brown was transported to Brookdale Hospital to received medical treatment. After receiving treatment and being stabilized, Mr. Brown was transported to Brooklyn Central Booking. Thereafter, on April 12, 2019, after being unlawfully held in custody for approximately 24 hours, the District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Mr. Brown because there was “insufficient evidence” and he was released from custody.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=8q99tELQa/CEnyxalG/iCQ==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Larmon, Jermaine, et al. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-10-24","disposition_date":"2023-05-31","payout_amount":25000,"disposition":"Settlement","docket":"521303/2018","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Marcus, Gary H.","summary":"On February 26, 2018, Plaintiff, Jermaine Larmon, was at Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn, New York, when Detective Michael Simmonds and Officer Abdelhai Sahel, and other officers, approached him.

The NYPD arrived and entered the premises with heavy weaponry. As the officers approached, shouts of “gun” were heard outside, which led people standing outside the building to run inside. Police officers encountered plaintiffs Nelson, Jeanty, and Hippolyte outside the building and searched and handcuffed them. Though no contraband was found on them and though there was no other basis for detaining them, they were kept in custody for an hour at the scene before being released. Inside the building, the officers handcuffed every person they encountered in the two units they searched, and moved the handcuffed people around through various rooms in the units over the course of the search. Of the people who had been handcuffed inside the building and kept handcuffed for at least an hour, plaintiff Walters was released at the scene without charges, and all the other people who had been handcuffed, including the remaining fifteen plaintiffs, were formally arrested and brought to a station house. \nPlaintiff Kettrles was kept in custody for many hours without being charged, and then was released after the D.A. declined to prosecute him. Plaintiffs Sealey, B. Thomas, Pilgrim, Clyne, and Henry were kept in holding cells at the precinct for hours and then issued Desk Appearance Tickets (DATs) for charges that were based on untrue allegations related to various criminal conduct, including possession of contraband, including drugs and gambling paraphernalia. The D.A. ultimately declined to charge those five plaintiffs who had received DATs. The remaining nine plaintiffs were transported to central booking, where Defendant Joebian Ortiz drafted arrest paperwork for them. The arrest paperwork contained allegations that had no factual basis, and Defendant Ortiz passed all these false statements to the D.A. Plaintiffs T. Thomas, Aime, Alcindor, Leemow, and Sears were alleged to have jointly possessed marijuana which was found in a closet in the building, despite there being no basis to believe it was theirs, and none of them having been present in the room where it was found. Plaintiffs Fray, Nyack, Cox, and Dewar were alleged to have jointly possessed marijuana and a loaded handgun. Ortiz has “vacillated” regarding where the marijuana was found, but none of the plaintiffs were present in the room where it was found. Defendant Ortiz claimed the information about the gun was relayed to him by Defendant Skelton, who supposedly said the gun was found underneath a sweatshirt that was underneath plaintiff Fray when Fray was ordered by the police to lie down. Those nine plaintiffs were charged criminally, some with felonies. Their charges were dismissed six days after their arrest.","documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4922762-Thomas-et-al-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"},{"url":"https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.364569.37.0.pdf","type":"complaint"},{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4922763-Thomas-et-al-v-City-of-New-York-et-al"}],"url":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4323984/thomas-v-ortiz/"}],"image":"https://www.50-a.org/images/officer/XJST-gary-marcus.jpg","payroll":{"salary":"204936","regular":"202673","overtime":"0","other":"23623","total":"226296"},"id":"XJST","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/XJST"}
