On January 16, 2019, at approximately 12:30 p.m., Police Officer John Theos, Police Officer Bjondin Skender, Detective Jeremiah Williams, and Police Officer Daniel Bergamini, all of the 47th Precinct, arrived at the basement apartment of [redacted] in the Bronx, to investigate an allegation made on January 15, 2019, by [redacted]'s daughter, [redacted] that [redacted] had an illegal firearm in the apartment. While [redacted] was sitting in a boiler room at the back of the apartment, Det. Williams allegedly entered the boiler room, and instructed him to stand up. [redacted] began to stand but struggled because of a physical ailment. Det. Williams became impatient and allegedly grabbed him at the front of his neck, forcing him up by his neck from the seated position that he was in (Allegation A: Force - Chokehold, [redacted]) (Allegation B: Force - Restricted breathing, [redacted]).
While he continued holding [redacted] by the throat, Det. Williams asked [redacted] where the gun was and told him that if he provided it, he would be charged with a misdemeanor but if they had to find it, he would be charged with a felony (Allegation C: Abuse of Authority - Threat of arrest, [redacted]). Det. Williams then allegedly frisked [redacted] and placed his hand into [redacted]'s jacket pocket (Allegation D: Abuse of Authority - Frisk, [redacted]) (Allegation E: Abuse of Authority - Search of person, [redacted]). Det. Williams allegedly opened plastic bags in the boiler room of the apartment and searched through them (Allegation F: Abuse of Authority - Search of premises, [redacted]).

Williams and PO Theos began to search the home (Allegation G: Abuse of Authority Search of premises, [redacted]). The search of the location yielded negative results. After the search, the officers left the location.
