A witness to the arrest said: "They used a battering ram on the door and less than two minutes later they walked a young man out," Spano said. "He walked right by me. He was cuffed behind his back. He looked withdrawn, like a skull. He looked like death. He looked like there was nothing in him. He didn't say a word."
