Plaintiff: Levelle Henry

Incident date: 09/16/2008

Location: 658 E. 67th St.

Allegations:

Henry was in a store when Officers Boyd and Beluso approached him and violently threw him to the ground. Henry was not violating any laws. The officers repeatedly hit Henry while he was on the ground. Other officers arrived, and Boyd and Beluso placed Henry, handcuffed, in a transport wagon. The officers began to hit Henry a second time. Later, Henry was admitted to a hospital, where he was treated for cuts and swelling on his head. The officers filed false criminal complaints against Henry and destroyed the video surveillance tape from the store that had captured the incident. The officers also planted drugs on Henry to justify the arrest. The following year, Henry was found not guilty.
