He was arrested on 33rd St. when a line of cops entrapped him and others. "I was just on my way home from work, doing exactly what I was being told to do the entire time by the police."
Everyone in his cell has been held for at least 30 hours. No one has been read their rights. No one has seen a lawyer.
