Summary

On April 4, 2020, at approximately 6:49 p.m., Police Officers Chardy Alberto and Michael Duchatellier, both of the 30th Precinct, responded to a 911 call regarding a group of teenagers loitering at [redacted] in Manhattan. The investigation was unable to identify any of these teenagers but was able to determine that one of them had the surname [redacted] (henceforth referred to as [redacted]) was apparently not related to [redacted] who claimed not to know any of the other civilians involved in the incident. PO Duchatellier said to the teenagers, "We come here every fucking day... do not fucking... don't stand in front of the building," and PO Alberto said to [redacted] "You can't fucking stay here" (Allegations A-B: Discourtesy, [redacted]). PO Alberto also said, "You all deaf? Stupid? What is it? [redacted] you can't fucking stay here" (Allegation B). PO Alberto subsequently also said to [redacted] "Don't you be fucking walking behind me" (Allegation B). PO Alberto repeatedly shoved [redacted] (Allegation C: Force, [redacted]) and allegedly put [redacted] in a chokehold (Allegation D: Force, [redacted]). [redacted] approached the scene as a bystander. PO Alberto deployed pepper spray, striking [redacted] and an unknown second individual (Allegations E-F: Force, [redacted]) and said to [redacted] "Back the fuck up" (Allegation G: Discourtesy, [redacted]). PO Duchatellier yelled to the teenagers, "Stop fucking around! Do not stand in front of the building! Fucking corona's out here!" (Allegation H: Discourtesy, [redacted]). On January 25, 2021, at approximately 1:22 p.m., at 100 Church Street in Manhattan, PO Alberto provided a misleading official statement during his CCRB interview (Allegation I: Untruthful Statement, [redacted]). Read report for details.
