Manhattan False Arrest Lawyer Files Suit on Behalf of Brooklyn Man

NEW YORK - July 28, 2014 - PRLog -- The Manhattan based Law Firm of Michael Redenburg, Esq. PC has filed an action on behalf of his client Danyell S. after a wrongful arrest in Queens, NY. The Civil Case No. is 14-cv-4509 and seeks unspecified damages from the City of New York and the yet to be named NYPD agents who arrested him.

Allegations Within the False Arrest Complaint In the early evening of April 3, 2013, Danyell had just finished lawfully parking his automobile on Jamaica Avenue when he was approached by an unknown male. The unknown male individual started banging on the driver's side window of Danyell's car which alarmed Danyell, especially in light of the fact that the man was not wearing an NYPD Officer uniform and did not show a badge or other police identification.

Thereafter, Danyell complied with the plain clothes officer's instructions and exited the car. Numerous officers descended on the scene and they began rummaging through his car. Next, an impermissible search of Danyell's person took place which revealed that Danyell had a utility knife in his pocket that he had been using to put bike tape on his bicycle. He was then placed under arrest.

After an extended stay at the police precinct, Danyell was taken to Central Booking for arraignment and then transported to Riker's Island. Following a short stint at Riker's, Danyell was taken to Elmhurst Hospital and then Bellevue Hospital - all against his will. At the next court date, about 30 days later, the false criminal charge and trumped-up VTL charge against him were dismissed.

Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. represents Danyell and has represented dozens of other victims of police misconduct as well.
