In 2018, Officer D’Agostino was involved in the arrest of an individual named Channing, who alleged that the officer used excessive force during the handcuffing process. Channing claimed that Officer D’Agostino deviated from standard handcuffing techniques, resulting in physical injury. A lawsuit was filed against Officer D’Agostino and other officers involved, alleging violation of constitutional rights. The case was reviewed in 2021, and the court found that there were genuine disputes regarding the excessive force claim, allowing the case to proceed.
