Actress Taryn Manning is taking legal action against the city of New York for the sum of $10 million, claiming she was falsely arrested in 2014.
Manning, known for her role as Tiffany “Pennsatucky” Doggett on Orange Is the New Black, filed a New York Supreme Court petition against the city on Monday, claiming the New York Police Department should not have arrested her after she was accused of making criminal threats against a woman whom the actress had previously obtained a restraining order against.
Following Manning’s arrest in November 2014, the New York District Attorney’s office declined to press charges against her, but her attorney alleges she remained in police custody for hours despite the NYPD being aware no charges would be filed.
“The meeting ended when I was handcuffed by a detective and locked in a small room adjacent to the interview room,” Manning, 37, said in a sworn affidavit filed with the petition on Monday. “Approximately 20 minutes later, I was removed [from the room] still handcuffed and marched through the precinct. I was processed and ultimately placed in a holding cell.”
“Although the arrest was voided and sealed…the NYPD then reported Ms. Manning’s [false] arrest to media outlets,” the petition states.
