Another case against Bronx detective KOd

Add another dismissal to the list of civil suits being filed against embattled NYPD Detective David Terrell.

A federal judge tossed Tuesday the suit filed by Shawn Nardoni, who accused the Bronx detective of falsely arresting him in September 2015 after he'd been shot in the leg and forcing him to finger a suspect in the shooting.

It is the sixth civil rights suit filed against Terrell that has been dismissed since he was labeled a rogue cop responsible for arresting Pedro Hernandez, who became a poster child for bail reform, his supporters said.

“Another one bites the dust,” Terrell's attorney Eric Sanders said Tuesday. “These false claims are all one big joke.”

Manhattan Federal Judge Gregory Woods ordered the dismissal, claiming that Nardoni could not prove that Terrell orchestrated his arrest, although Terrell did ask him who shot him.

“It is undisputed that Detective Terrell interviewed (Nardoni),” Woods wrote. “However, (Terrell) was not involved in seizing the plaintiff, in bringing him to the precinct or in confining him. Nor has the plaintiff presented any evidence to support his argument that Detective Terrell ‘arranged' the arrest.”

Nardoni claimed that Terrell kept him in a room for up to four hours and “badgered” him “in an attempt to solicit from him the name of the individual who shot him.”

Nardoni said that he didn't know who shot him, but Terrell “tried to force him to say it was some kid,” he said in court papers, referring to Hernandez.

After Hernandez's arrest in mid-2016 Terrell was sued multiple times on allegations of making false arrests and roughing people up. Most of the plaintiffs were teenagers who knew Hernandez and had dealt with the Bronx detective.

Hernandez, who spent more than a year at Rikers Island on an unrelated gun charge because he was unable to pay $100,000 bail, become a cause celebre for bail reform. The teen was finally released on July 27, 2017, after the nonprofit Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights group posted his bail.

During his time in jail, he established himself as an honor student, and supporters say he landed a college scholarship.

In September, the charges against Hernandez were dropped after a key witness stopped cooperating and Nardoni admitted he couldn't identify the triggerman.

Hernandez, now 18, still faces a robbery charge in a Nov. 6, 2015, holdup in the Bronx.
