They were jolted awake as cops tore through their apartment, breaking two TVs, emptying containers of rice and pulling clothes out of closets, the family said.
One of the men who the family later found out was Detective David Grieco began barking questions at them.
Wheres the guns? he demanded, according to Luis Vargas. Wheres the drugs?
Ultimately, the cops who did not have a search warrant found nothing more than two bottles of sedatives for Lillian Vargas, who said she tried without luck to show police the paperwork from her doctor to prove the pills were legally prescribed.
But it made no difference to the officers, who handcuffed her and dragged her into the January cold dressed only in a robe.

Victims of Bullethead cop recount shaky busts, traffic stops

There was a good reason the CCRB couldnt find Felixs encounter with Grieco the cop never recorded it in his memo book, according to CCRB records obtained by the Daily News.
Felixs complaint stalled until he saw a picture in The News about Grieco, who was then under investigation by the Internal Affairs Bureau for an unrelated case. Although Felix accurately described Grieco and the other cops with him, the CCRB couldnt substantiate the unjustified stop allegation.

NYPD cop nicknamed 'Bullethead' and known for bursting into homes without warrants, is sued 23 times costing the city $280,000 to settle
Sergeant David Greico has been sued 23 times for overreaching tactics when conducting searches and making arrests
In one case, he arrested a brother and sister and accused them of hiding guns and drugs
The charges were dropped after they appeared in court following arraignments
In another case, Greico and another officer handcuffed a suspect and forced him to rap, promising to release him if they liked it
Greico has only been cited twice for making warrantless arrests and has been promoted twice
So far, the city has paid more than $280,0000 to settle suits involving Greico
