SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 11 – Nicole Cato was in
her home on Staten Island on
May 1, 2018 when three NYPD
officers came and arrested her
on an i-card, which she
describes as "an NYPD request
that someone be taken into
custody, which request has
never been evaluated by any
judge concerning any probable
cause justification."
She
sued.
On October 8 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams held held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
After a Freedom
of Information Law request,
Cato learned that her arrest
"was in relation to a
complaint that someone, on
July 29, 2017, had shoplifted
$133.50 worth of merchandise
from a Kohl's store at 2239
Forest Avenue on Staten
Island, a crime that Plaintiff
had nothing to do with."
The case is Cato
v. City Of New York et al.,
20-cv-10934 (Abrams)
