Description: In October 2017 around 11:30 am, Mr. Feelings was arrested for petit larceny and taken to central booking in Queens. At central booking, Mr. Feelings and a few officers began arguing so the officers took Mr. Feelings to a precinct. When they arrived at the precinct, defendant officer Dallis approached the vehicle and threw a grey blanket over Mr. Feelings's head. The officer then grabbed Mr. Feelings and threw him onto the concrete ground, causing him to lose consciousness and receive multiple lacerations across his forehead. He was taken to the hospital and then returned to the precinct after he was treated.
