Without an arrest warrant or probable cause, the officers violently pulled the plaintiff from his vehicle, threw him to the ground, held him down, shot him with a Taser and other conductive energy devices, and forcefully placed him in handcuffs. The plaintiff was then placed in a police car, taken to the 88th Precinct, and later escorted to Kings County Central Booking. The defendants submitted a false police report to initiate a malicious prosecution. The plaintiff remained in Kings County Central Booking until his arraignment and release on August 29, 2022, with baseless criminal charges. The City of New York was negligent in the hiring, training, and retention of these officers and was aware of the officers' customs of unlawful stops, searches, false arrests, evidence fabrication, and perjury. As a result, the plaintiff suffered emotional distress and other damages.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=wCXxajWdGn04VX_PLUS_bT4tSHA==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Cohen, Lance vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2018-07-02","disposition_date":"2023-02-16","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"Order/Judgment (Verdict)","docket":"18CV03737","court":"U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY","officer_name":"Rodriguez, Danny","summary":"Three defendant officers arrested the plaintiff with violent and excessive force.
