SNCC’s February 4, 1964 chronology reports that police took Willie Galloway Jr. into custody on February 3 and then released him without booking or charges. Hollander’s subsequent report also describes the incident. The reported police custody is distinct from a formal prison sentence; exact custody endpoints and duration remain unverified.
