Bobby Shmurda Sues NYPD for False Arrest
Nearly two weeks to the day in which he is tried on an assortment of charges that could keep him in prison for 8-25 years, Bobby Shmurda, 21, filed a federal lawsuit against the NYPD, for false arrest pertaining to an unrelated case on Friday (April 29). Shmurda, born Ackquille Pollard, is suing over what his lawyers charge was an illegal raid of the apartment where he was detained on June 3, 2014, and slapped with a gun charge that was eventually dismissed. In conjunction with the accusation that authorities violated his rights, he is claiming “nervous shock and mental anguish” as a result of the ordeal.
“When one of the occupants opened the door a slight bit to see who was there, Officer Douglas Corso and other police officers kicked in the door and illegally entered the residence without a search warrant,” the suit, filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, reads.
According to the Brooklyn rapper, he was simply hanging out at a friend’s apartment on Rockaway Parkway when police knocked on the door. But the police claim that while performing a search, he was witnessed attempting to bury a gun between couch cushions. The officer named in the suit [D. Corso], is reported to have a spotty record, having been the subject of five federal civil rights lawsuits dating back to 2011. If there is any validity to Shmurda’s story, he may have been the target of the bust. He claims that as police foraged for drugs and weapons, they taunted him by chanting lyrics from his songs. He claimed that none of the drugs, nor the gun seized, belonged to him.
The trial, on the conspiracy to commit murder,reckless endangerment, and drug and guns possession charges, for which Pollard as been locked up since December of 2015, is set for May 11th. He has been denied bail seven times since going down for allegedly overseeing gang violence and the sale of crack via his GS9 crew. Pollard is also facing several other weapons possessions charges, in separate Manhattan and Bronx cases.
