Conclusion Meanings:
'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - the alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Complaint
Description: On April 25, 2020, P.O.s Thomas Bay, Matthew Glynn, and other officers chased Mr. Myquan Jones with no reasonable suspicion that he had committed a crime. They slammed into him with a car. They arrested him for gambling and other related charges, all of which he denies. The police maintain that they saw him inside a circle containing 10-15 people in the context of a game of dice. The police purposely kept their body cameras turned off; in their Decline to Prosecute Report, it says their body cameras were off due to technical difficulties. They detained Mr. Jones for 21 hours before declining to prosecute and releasing him.
