Summary

On October 17, 2019, at approximately 8:30 a.m., [redacted] returned to her apartment at [redacted] and noticed approximately five officers standing in the hallway and that her front door was damaged. [redacted] believed the officers had hit the door with a tool which caused this damage (Allegation A: [redacted]). These officers, all from the Queens Warrant Section, were Det. Daniel Pelan, Det. Peter Rivera, Det. Michael Sinclair, PO Michael Fahrbach, PO Claire Lindner, and PO Thomas Bates.
[redacted] opened the door and entered her apartment. The officers immediately walked into the apartment after her. [redacted] stood in the middle of the hallway and saw officers open a closet door in the hallway and look in. Officers entered [redacted] bedroom and an officer possibly entered the kitchen (Allegations B-M: [redacted]). Det. Pelan told [redacted] that they had a warrant and were searching for a person. He displayed a piece of a paper with a photo on it which [redacted] recognized to be an arrest photograph of her son, [redacted] was informed that [redacted] had not appeared for parole.
Once outside of the apartment, Det. Pelan took a business card from another officer, scratched off information on the card, and wrote his own name, phone number, and shield number. [redacted] was unsure whether he had written his command (Allegation N: [redacted]). Read report for details.
