Williams, Garfield Anthony vs City of New York, et al.Case # 20CV05995, U.S. District Court - Southern District NY, July 31, 2020, ended May 13, 2024
$15,000 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On December 14, 2019, Plaintiff Garfield Williams had finished a long shift at work and while driving home was involved in a car accident. Plaintiff had not had anything to drink nor was there alcohol found in his vehicle, but was questioned regarding a potential DWI charge despite no breathalyzer test or any evidence of intoxication. Plaintiff was taken to the hospital and was handcuffed to his bed in the ambulance while in transit. While at the hospital, he was not tested for intoxication because hospital staff did not believe there was any reasonable suspicion of intoxication. Plaintiff was then held in custody, and was fired from his job as a result of the absences spent in custody.
