Summary

On April 19, 2015, at approximately 11:30 p.m., [redacted] and her neighbor, [redacted] were both arrested by PO Maurice Grant and brought to the 42nd Precinct stationhouse after getting into a physical altercation at their apartment building. While [redacted] and [redacted] were at the front desk giving their pedigree information to PO Grant, PO Robert Castillo told them, "You bitches better shut the fuck up" (Allegations A and B). Several minutes later, both women were searched and placed in holding cells.
Approximately one hour later, PO Grant entered the cell area to fingerprint [redacted] and [redacted] who is diabetic, asked PO Grant to call an ambulance for her, as she needed an insulin injection. [redacted] refused to let PO Grant take her fingerprints until he called an ambulance. PO Grant returned several times over the course of the next hour to fingerprint [redacted] but she continued to refuse, and no ambulance was called for [redacted] (Allegation C).
At approximately 2:00 a.m., [redacted] was given a phone call, and she called an ambulance for herself. Four male prisoners were then brought into the cell area, and [redacted] was taken out of her cell and handcuffed to the outside to make room for them.

Sgt. Argyros left, and [redacted] started yelling out the window again for someone to come help her. Sgt. Argyros returned to [redacted] with a group of officers and stated, "Do you think I'm a rookie, bitch? I'm not a rookie; you're gonna do whatever the fuck I say you fat bitch" (subsumed in allegations E and F). The officers moved... Read report for details.
