Brooklyn Man Files False Arrest Lawsuit in Federal Court

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - March 2, 2016 - PRLog -- A Brooklyn man has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court alleging that he was the victim of a false arrest on December 20, 2015. He seeks damages for the suffering of an unlawful detention, loss of liberty, emotional distress and humiliation resulting from his arrest and detention.

Allegations Within the Complaint

On December 20, 2015, and at approximately 4:30 p.m., Kelson had been leaving a restaurant known as Beauty and Essex on the Lower East Side of NYC, when all of a sudden he was grabbed from behind. Startled, he turned around and noticed that the person who had grabbed him was a New York City Police Officer. The officer instructed him to put his hands behind his back because he was under arrest and Kelson complied with the officer's instructions.

Thereafter, Kelson was transported to the 7th Precinct where he was held for about four hours being fingerprinted, photographed and processed. He was subsequently taken to Manhattan's Central Booking where he awaited arraignment before a Criminal Court Judge. At his arraignment, Kelson learned that he had been charged with false personation and resisting arrest. The case was adjourned to February, 2016 and on that date, the matter was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal.

Michael Redenburg represents Kelson and regularly represents victims of false arrest and other police misconduct throughout the City of New York. Attorney Redenburg maintains an office at 11 Park Place, Ste. 817, New York, NY 10007.
