Jenkins, James vs City of Ny, et al.
Case # 818870/2024E,
Supreme Court - Bronx, November 20, 2024, ended June 12, 2025
$7,500 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On August 5, 2024, at approximately 9 p.m., PO Cordero and other NYPD officers approached Plaintiff on the street and summarily stopped, searched, grabbed, assaulted, battered and detained him in an aggressive and excessive manner without any legal justification. Plaintiff was arraigned after his arrest and thereafter falsely and maliciously prosecuted with committing a crime. He remained incarcerated for over 24 hours and was required to make numerous court appearances over an extended period of time until all charges against him were terminated favorably.
The illegal stop and seizure was part of City's custom and practice of racial profiling and/or meeting arrest or summons quotas.
