$20,000 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On August 10, 2015, defendant NYPD Officers—including Jun Chen and Joseph Corrado—and EMT personnel—including Novleen Nelson and Satish Abeeluck—entered Plaintiff’s home based on anonymous 911 call from a former friend claiming Plaintiff was going to hurt herself. Defendants searched Plaintiff’s home and made disparaging remarks about her perceived mental instability. Plaintiff repeatedly assured the defendants she was not a danger to herself, but she was still taken into custody as an “emotionally disturbed person.” Plaintiff was taken to a medical center where she was medically and psychiatrically evaluated against her will. She was released from the hospital later that day.
