Complaint
Description: On January 27 2022 the Plaintiffs were lawfully inside their residence when NYPD Officer Christopher Ascazubi, Henningston Bernard, Rafael Melendez, and John or Jane Doe unlawfully knocked the door and ignored requests for a warrant and entered without probable cause. The Officers proceeded to seize the Plaintiff and conduct an unlawful search of his clothing and items without any legal basis. The Officers then violently applied excessively tight handcuffs causing more pain before transporting the Plaintiff to the 30th Precinct. The Plaintiff was released from custody on January 28 2022 after arraignment. All charges were dismissed on May 16 2022 due to lack of probable cause.
