Samuel Gilberd is a New York City software executive currently at the center of a police brutality scandal in the town of Ocean Beach, New York.

In August of 2005, Gilberd was vacationing in the village when he was arrested for allegedly littering. He was then taken to police headquarters and beaten so badly that his bladder ruptured, necessitating a ten-day hospital stay.

Gilberd has since filed a $22 million federal lawsuit, and four police officials have been indicted in the case.

Acting Chief George Hesse has been charged with first degree assault, gang assault, and unlawful imprisonment by the District Attorney, who referred to the Ocean Beach law enforcement squad as "thugs in police uniforms."
