Further details on conclusions.
On August 15, 2015, at approximately 4:20 a.m., [redacted] was pulled over by Lt. Mauvin Bute, Sgt. Jessenia Tabb, and PO Maria Voskoboynik, all from the 67th Precinct, near the intersection of Martense Street and Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn without having committed a crime or a traffic violation (Allegation A). Lt. Bute approached [redacted] vehicle and asked him if he had been drinking, to which [redacted] replied no. Lt. Bute told [redacted] he had to take a breathalyzer test, but [redacted] refused (Allegation B). Additional police units arrived on the scene during the stop, and PO Saul DeLaCruz placed [redacted] under arrest for refusing to take the breathalyzer test.
PO DeLaCruz and PO Besnick Bojkovic transported [redacted] to the 78th Precinct stationhouse, where a breathalyzer test was to be administered. While [redacted] was waiting in the stationhouse, he complained of his handcuffs being too tight, to which PO Bojkovic replied, "Shut the fuck up and I'll think about taking these off" (Allegation C). A breathalyzer test was eventually administered, and [redacted] blew a 0.00%. He was subsequently released, and his arrest was voided.
