Roosevelt Dration arrested
The docket book recorded T. M. McCabe of the 32nd Precinct as the police officer who arrested Dration. Three other Black men arrested by McCabe appeared in the court at the same time also charged with disorderly conduct: James Simon, Albert Brown, and Porter O'Neill. They too appeared alongside Dration in the press as arrested for riot. Police likely arrested the men together.
Magistrate Ford convicted Dration and sentenced him to one month in the Workhouse. He also convicted the other three men and imposed the same sentence on Simon and Brown. O'Neill, however, he sentenced to only five days in the Workhouse.
Dration's address was recorded as 10 West 134th Street. The New York Age misspelled Dration as Drayton.
