Description: Around 5:00 pm on August 27, 2015, Mr. Asbury was driving his car with two friends when Officer Whirl ordered him to pull over.

His car was then sold at auction by the NYPD. Mr. Asbury was detained for about 48 hours before he was released and indicted for various violations. All of the charges were dismissed, but he suffered severe monetary losses from his car and from retaining counsel to defend him.
