Playmate suing NYPD for 'shoving her face into pavement' after cabbie believes she's an armed vampire

Brainless goons. Is there ANYBODY that they are likely to treat civilly?

A former Playboy bunny is suing the New York Police Department claiming they manhandled her following an altercation with a cab driver in 2006.

Stephanie Adams, 40, says police drew their guns on her and with unnecessary force shoved her face to the pavement causing physical injury after her taxi driver accused her as being armed and dangerous.

According to the New York Post, the driver, Eric Darko, later told city investigators that he believed Ms Adams was a vampire.

Ms Adams was taking the taxi driven by Mr Darko on May 25 back her to apartment when he refused to bring her any closer to her building, according to Ms Adams.

He then began cursing at her, prompting her to call 911, which Mr Darko in return did too.

While on the phone with the NYPD, Mr Darko told the operator that Ms Adams had threatened to shoot him leading to her rough handling at their arrival.

Ms Adams' trial Lawyer Nina Neumunz in court stated that the physical force was unnecessary with the tight-fitting clothing Ms Adams was wearing.

'It was a controlled drop to the ground,' Sgt John Rajan testified in court according to the Post, saying Ms Adams did not initially comply to his instructions to lie face down. 'We didn't know if she had a firearm,' he said.

Acknowledging her attire, Sgt Rajan said they did not need to frisk her as 'she was wearing tight-fitting clothing and there was no place to conceal a weapon.'

A doctor for Ms Adams testified Friday saying the incident injured spinal discs causing her serious back pain.

Ms Adams previously sued Mr Darko for falsely accusing her as armed during the 2006 incident, according to NJ.com, causing his license to be revoked by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission the same year. He was also fined $2,700.
