Complaint
Description: On August 17, 2017, Plaintiff Herrera was approached at the Bowery Men’s Shelter Kenton Hall by undercover police officer UC00084 and asked about purchasing illicit illegal substances. Herrera, a homeless resident of the shelter, responded in the negative, knowing nothing about such transactions and exited the interaction. The next time he exited the shelter, Herrera was arrested by unknown police officers. A grand jury indicted him and he was arraigned for third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. On March 29, 2018, Herrera was acquitted by jury due to false testimony and he was exonerated of any criminal liability.
