When asked for his name, officers said McClain gave them his brother’s name and birthdate, and the Social Security number of a white man born in 1969, according to the New York Daily News.
When police ran the name, they discovered that McClain’s brother, Dequan Gunter, had a warrant out for his arrest, the Daily News reports.
