Darren Martin Former Obama Staffer
Darren Martin spent many years working in Washington D.C. on Capitol Hill and in the White House with the Obama Administration. He recently moved back (Martin is originally from the Bronx) to the allegedly liberal New York City in a gentrified area neighborhood called the Upper West Side. While moving into his apartment this weekend, a neighbor called the police and he was accused by the NYPD of being a burglar — in his own home.
According to Pix 11, someone called 911 to report a “burglary in progress.” Marin said in a live video, “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. I didn’t really think anyone was going to call the cops on me because I mean – I was moving into the building.” A dispatcher said “Somebody was trying to break in the door” with a “possible weapon” and described the weapon as a “large tool.”

Pix 11 reports “An investigation later determined there was nothing criminal about Martin’s activity.” However, Darren clearly still has reservations about his unfriendly neighbors. See what he wrote on Twitter.

Thankfully, the cops did not arrest Martin or possibly much worse. From Starbucks in Philadelphia. to LA Fitness, the jump to call police is terrifying. He even wrote on Twitter that he was “blessed” to not become a hashtag.

We are glad you are safe, Darren … and welcome back to New York.
