NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 19: An NYPD officer gives a thumbs up out his window to show gratitude to medical and frontline workers at Lenox Hill Hospital during the coronavirus pandemic on May 19, 2020 in New York City. COVID-19 has spread to most countries around the world, claiming over 324,000 lives with over 4.9 million infections reported. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images)
<p class="p1">Whew chile, #Roommates get into this! So the NYPD mistakenly used a photo of Instagram influencer #EvaLopez, on a “wanted” poster for grand larceny and now the innocent woman is suing for $30 million!</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/03/12/woman-sues-after-nypd-puts-her-pic-on-wanted-poster/">New York Post</a>, Eva Lopez, 31, said she was on vacation in Florida on August 16, 2021, when she saw the wanted poster featuring a photo of her. The wanted poster shows Eva posing in a stylish outfit and claims she is wanted for grand larceny after allegedly going on an escort service with a customer and stealing his roommate&#8217;s $13,000 Rolex watch and credit card.</p>
<p class="p1">“I thought it was something fake. I really couldn’t believe the police would put me on a wanted poster,” she recalled. Eva eventually contacted Detective Kevin Dwyer, who was listed on the flyer, only to find out that he “knew it was an issue before she called.&#8221; The detective allegedly told Lopez that the wanted poster had already been taken down from the department’s Facebook page and other web sites. The real perpetrator had a tattoo sleeve, the detective said, something Eva doesn’t.</p>
<p class="p1">According to the lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, the “incident has damaged Ms. Lopez'[s] personal reputation in her neighborhood and has damaged her professional reputation in her employment.”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">Eva claims that the error took a toll on the image she’s built on social media with her more than 865,000 Instagram followers. “People didn’t think I wаs being honest,” Eva said in a statement to the Post. “It wаs just extremely humiliаting, not only for me but аlso for my fаmily.”</p>
<p>Eva&#8217;s lawyer Mark Shirian, has since come out to condemn the NYPD for the incident. Telling the Post &#8220;the NYPD should commit to more thorough investigations before haphazardly accusing and identifying innocent people of fantastic lies and brazen crimes.&#8221;</p>
