Complaint
Description: On or about April 23, 2018, Plaintiff was inside her home, cleaning her oven, when the upstairs tenants called 911 to report there was smoke coming from her apartment. Firefighters arrived at Plaintiff's home, but there was no smoke and there had never been any fire. Plaintiff refused to allow the firefighters or any police to come into her home. Officers Cruz, Vasquez, and another unnamed officer forcibly removed Plaintiff to permit the firefighters to enter. After the firefighters were done examining the stove, the officers threw Plaintiff against the ground for no reason. The officers then arrested her.
