Allegations:
Smith was visiting friends when officers stopped, seized and arrested him for drinking on the public way. He was transported to the police station, where Officers Ramirez, Ramos, Valentin and Villacis each punched or battered him. At least one officer also fired a Taser gun at Smith. An ambulance arrived to transport him to the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries. Smith was then transported back to the police station, where he was placed in lockup. Officers subsequently filed false complaints also charging Smith with resisting a peace officer and aggravated assault to a police officer. All three charges against Smith were later dismissed.
