At the precinct, plaintiff was questioned regarding the incident, detained for approximately two hours and placed under arrest – charged with one count of VTL 600(1)(a), leaving the scene of an incident without reporting – without probable cause. Plaintiff was required to appear in court approximately ten times before the charge was ultimately dismissed on September 12, 2013.
