Complaint
Description: On March 3, 2018, a team of officers including Officer Acevedo entered an apartment and arrested and handcuffed Plaintiff. Despite Plaintiff not resisting arrest, he was handcuffed so tightly as to induce pain to his right wrist. Plaintiff was taken to the hospital accompanied by officer Aponte, at which he was handcuffed to the hospital bed. Plaintiff complained to officer Aponte that the handcuff was too tight, so officer Aponte inserted a key into the handcuff and broke it, rendering the handcuff inoperable and stuck on Plaintiff's wrist. This was not removed until 40 minutes later.
