Further details on conclusions.
On June 6, 2016, at approximately 6:30 p.m., [redacted] was brought to Manhattan Central Booking, located at 100 Centre Street, in Manhattan, by PO Ming Chen, of the 5th Precinct, to be arraigned. [redacted] had been arrested earlier that day for [redacted]. In the intake section of central booking, [redacted] was met by PO Desmond Mohan, of Manhattan Court Section, who was assigned to prisoner transport. During the lodging process, PO Mohan attempted to obtain a DNA sample from [redacted] which consists of having the prisoner take a swab of their inner cheek. [redacted] objected to giving the sample, and PO Mohan told him that he would be charged with contempt of court if he refused to provide the sample (Allegation A). [redacted] then consented to providing the DNA sample.
[redacted] attempted to administer the DNA swab to the inside of his cheek, but PO Mohan informed him that he had done it incorrectly and needed to do it again. After two attempts, [redacted] became frustrated and threw the DNA swab, which is roughly the size of a pencil, at PO Mohan. In response, PO Mohan pushed [redacted] to the ground, and allegedly grabbed him by the neck and choked him (Allegations B and C). PO Mohan left the area soon after that, and another officer completed [redacted]s lodging process.
