Complaint
Description: On May 23, 2012, Plaintiff was walking home when an undercover officer -- Defendant Det. Christina Reyes -- asked him if he had a light for her cigarette, which he provided before continuing on. A few minutes later, a police vehicle approached, soon exited by Defendant Det. Ralfi Hernandez and several unidentified officers. These officers pulled Plaintiff off of the sidewalk and slammed him against their car before handcuffing him and transporting him to the 33rd Precinct, where he was falsely accused of soliciting a prostitute. Plaintiff was held for more than 24 hours and released. After ten months and numerous Court appearances, the charge against Plaintiff was dismissed.
