Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Case # 022714/2018E, Supreme Court - Bronx, March 8, 2018, ended March 5, 2020
$27,500 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On January 22, 2015, April 22, 2015, and July 1, 2015, Plaintiff was arrested by POs Shaniqua Clark, John Moise, Sgt. Fuggy, and Charlie Fernandez for the false claim of selling a controlled substance. Plaintiff is a recovering heroin addict, who participates in a methadone clinic program to assist him in his recovery. Each of the arrests was outside the same methadone clinic. After each arrest, Plaintiff was brought to the precinct, strip searched, held for 48 hours and then released. Each time, Officers lied on their reports to arrest Plaintiff and commence prosecution against Plaintiff. All three sets of charges were dismissed.
