Further details on conclusions.
On September 5, 2021, at about 2:56 AM, [redacted] and other civilians were in the rear courtyard of [redacted] at [redacted] in Manhattan when an argument broke out between [redacted] cousin and two unknown males. [redacted] attempted to separate them at about the same time Police Officer Timone Grant, Police Officer Afreen Bedi, and Police Officer Meagan Morea from PSA 5 arrived.
PO Grant used a Conducted Electrical Weapon (CEW) in probe-mode on an unknown male who fought [redacted] cousin; however this individual ran away and was not seen again (Allegation A: Force, Exonerated).
Sergeant Jose Ramos, Police Officer Jeff Huggins, Police Officer Kevin Salazar, Police Officer John Peloso, and other officers from PSA 5 arrived on scene. [redacted] pushed his cousin towards a nearby metal fence and held him against it with his body. PO Huggins allegedly tried to grab [redacted] wrist, but [redacted] pulled it away and they began to argue and swear at each other (Allegation B: Discourtesy, Misc. – Subject Suspended without Pay). PO Huggins, PO Salazar, and Sgt. Ramos grabbed [redacted] and forcefully pulled him away from the fence he was holding to handcuff him (Allegation C-E: Force, Exonerated). While PO Huggins, PO Salazar and Sgt. Ramos attempted to handcuff [redacted] PO Peloso punched [redacted] in the face (Allegation F: Force, Substantiated). This caused [redacted] to fall to the ground where he sustained cuts and bruises on his face. Officers then handcuffed and arrested him for resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration, aggravated harassment, and disorderly conduct (Board Review 1).
