Further details on conclusions.
Four days prior, on April 18th, [redacted] and his girlfriend, [redacted] were driving in the vicinity of West 207th Street and Broadway in Manhattan at 1:45AM. The two had previously stopped at a CHASE bank and intended to stop at the McDonald's restaurant located at the intersection. As he drove up to the restaurant, he was pulled over by PO William Beattie and PO Robert Stapleton, both of the 34th Precinct.
PO Beattie approached [redacted] who sat in the driver's seat, and asked him why he had been double-parked "over there". [redacted] assumed that PO Beattie was referring to his brief stop at the CHASE bank, where he admitted to double-parking as he went to the ATM. PO Beattie mentioned, "This is a high drug neighborhood," and pointed out that [redacted] had tinted windows and a busted taillight as well. PO Beattie then asked [redacted] for his license and registration, which [redacted] provided.
PO Beattie then returned to his patrol car to run the license, and then returned to [redacted] who remained inside the car. He asked [redacted] [redacted] to step outside, after which he frisked [redacted] his legs and arms (Allegation A). He then searched [redacted] his jeans and jacket pockets, finding a wallet and some money (Allegation B). He then asked [redacted] to step outside of the car, and she complied. PO Stapleton had the two civilians stand at the back of [redacted] car while PO Beattie searched the vehicle, opening the glove compartment and looking under each seat, among other areas (Allegation C).
PO Beattie found, as he looked under the driver's seat, a small knife that [redacted] had previously intended as a gift to [redacted] for her protection. PO Beattie recovered the knife, declaring it a Gravity knife. Though [redacted] insisted that it was not, he was arrested for [redacted] (Arrest Report, Board Review 02). He was released shortly upon arrival at the stationhouse with a DAT (Board Review 03). [redacted] was not charged with any VTL infractions.
[redacted] [redacted] provided a statement...
