Summary

On April 8, 2014, at approximately 11:45 am, Brian [redacted] allegedly saw an unidentified individual stopped and frisked in front of 433 Beach 40th Street in Queens by Lt. Arsenio Camilo, PO Patrick Norcott, and PO Andrew Hayes of the 101st Precinct (Allegations A and B). Forty-five minutes later, at approximately 12:30 pm, PO Norcott and Lt. Camilo stopped [redacted] in front of 433 Beach 40th Street (Allegations C and D). Upon stopping [redacted] PO Norcott allegedly frisked [redacted]'s jacket pockets, pants pockets, and legs (Allegation E). After frisking [redacted]'s jacket pockets, PO Norcott allegedly placed his hands inside of the jacket pockets (Allegation F). [redacted] attempted to film the officers' badge numbers on his cell phone and Lt. Camilo reached for his phone and [redacted] pulled it away (Allegation G). [redacted] complained about the frisk and search and one of the officers placed him into handcuffs. Lt. Camilo allegedly said, "Since you're being a dick, we have to take you down the Precinct to identify you," or "Since you don't wanna give your name, we gotta take you in," (Allegation H). Lt. Camilo also allegedly said, "That's what you get for being a dick," (Allegation H). In response to [redacted]'s complaints about the frisk and search, a small crowd formed, and Lt. Camilo allegedly told this crowd something along the lines of, "Don't mind him, he's being a dick," or "Don't pay attention to this dick, he's just making a show," (Allegation H). [redacted] was then brought over to a police vehicle and after [redacted] sat down, Lt. Camilo asked him something like, "What the fuck are you doing?" (Allegation H) and punched him once in the forehead (Allegation I). On the ride to the stationhouse, Lt. Camilo said, "You're a dick," "Suck my dick," "You wanna hit the ghetto lottery," and "Since you wanna be a dick, now we gotta take you to the Precinct," (Allegation H). Lt. Camilo also allegedly cocked his fist back in a gesture that made it seem like he was about to punch [redacted]... Read report for details.
