$45,000 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On March 22, 2012, Plaintiffs were attending a party at the home of an acquaintance when several officers charged in unlawfully. These officers include David Creely, Giovani Ramirez, Bergenbaum, Jose Alegre, Claude Celeste, Jovanny Fernandez, Jeffery Gryz, and unnamed officers. Despite the fact that they had no probable cause to believe Plaintiffs had committed any crimes or offenses, the officers placed Plaintiffs under arrest. At the precinct, the officers falsely informed the DA's Office that they had observed Plaintiffs in possession of a controlled substance. Plaintiffs were falsely charged with drug offenses. Charges against Plaintiffs were ultimately dismissed.
