A Bronx native who spent years working on Capitol Hill and in the White House with the Obama Administration said he got a surprise visit from NYPD officers last Friday as he moved into his new apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
Darren Martin, who is African-American, said he was unsettled when he was met by several police officers. It turns out, someone called 911 to report a “robbery in progress” — and he was the suspect.
“…I’m in my apartment but you know – you can’t go nowhere without the cops following me,” Martin said during the encounter, which he live streamed on Instagram. “Somebody called the cops on me in my own building. About how many are ya’ll? … About six of ya’ll showed up, rolled up on me.”
