McClary et al v. Nieves et al
Case # 12CV05300, U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY
$55,000 Settlement
Settlement, Complaint
Description: A neighbor falsely reported that Plaintiff 1 had a gun on him and was harassing her, when in reality he was visiting home and catching up with his sister, Plaintiff 2. The police arrived at the home and broke down the door, dragged Plaintiff 2 outside and handcuffed Plaintiff 1. Both plaintiffs were taken to the 113th Precinct and the house was searched without a warrant. The unspecified charges against both plaintiffs were dismissed. In addition to this incident, in an earlier encounter the same officers had entered their home without a warrant and destroyed the property in such a way where it was uninhabitable during the time of its repairs. The officers mocked the plaintiffs for the previous incident.
