Summary

At approximately 6:30 a.m. on February 11, 2015, Sgt. Gonzalo Corredor-Torres, Det. Michael Fahy, Det. Joseph Parchen and Det. Jason Wolfenhaut of the Warrant Squad traveled to [redacted] in regards to an open I-card for [redacted]. [redacted] is a two-story residential building with a single-room occupancy setup on the second floor. Sgt. Corredor-Torres, Det. Fahy and Det. Parchen went inside, while Det. Wolfenhaut remained in the van. The officers spoke to the building's caretaker, [redacted] who told the officers that [redacted] lived upstairs in one of the single rooms. The officers went upstairs and knocked on [redacted]'s door.
[redacted] spoke to the officers through the door, but refused to open the door. After several minutes, Sgt. Corredor-Torres ordered Det. Fahy to retrieve a battering ram and knock down [redacted]'s door (Allegation A). All three officers then entered [redacted]'s room. He alleged that the officers all drew and pointed their guns at him (Allegations B, C and D). [redacted] was told, "Get the fuck down," and, "If you move, I'll kill you," but he did not know which officer or officers made these statements (Allegation E and F). One of the officers then grabbed [redacted] by his collar. The constriction of the collar around [redacted]'s neck restricted his breathing (Allegations G and H). [redacted] was then pushed to the ground, where an officer placed a boot on the back of his neck (Allegation I). [redacted] was then placed in handcuffs and removed from the apartment. [redacted] was transported to the 52nd Precinct and arrested on an open [redacted] complaint. Read report for details.
