Summary

At approximately 10:20 a.m. on February 21, 2015, [redacted] entered the 103rd Precinct stationhouse, located at 168-02 91st Avenue in Queens. [redacted] was there to pick up his son from the child's mother, [redacted] as part of their custody arrangement. While signing into the book, an unidentified female officer behind the desk allegedly asked [redacted] about his son's boots. After further conversation, the other officer behind the desk, identified as Sgt. Lowez Walker of the 103rd Precinct instructed [redacted] to leave the stationhouse. Before he did so, [redacted] allegedly requested the unidentified female officer's shield number, though she provided no response whatsoever (Allegation A). Instead, Sgt. Walker allegedly repeated for him to leave, so [redacted] complied and began leaving with his son. However, before he could exit, a security officer identified as PO Anthony Fernandez of the same command stopped him and asked him for his identification. [redacted] allegedly did not have it on him, so PO Fernandez instructed him to stand against the wall before frisking at least some of his person (Allegation B). Without entering his pockets or removing any objects, PO Fernandez obtained [redacted] s information verbally and issued him a summons for disorderly conduct in the form of unreasonable noise (Allegation C). [redacted] Read report for details.
