The plaintiff showed the NYPD defendants his government-issued identification card establishing that he was not a resident of the apartment.  Nevertheless, the officers arrested the plaintiff, transported him to the PSA4 Precinct, subjected him to a search, fingerprinting, and photographing, and locked him in a cell containing rodents and insects.  After several hours, the defendants transported the plaintiff to the New York County Central Booking facility, where the plaintiff remained in another holding cell.  \n\nA few days later, on February 20, 2015, the plaintiff was charged with crimes of which the NYPD defendants lacked probable cause to accuse the plaintiff.
