Plaintiff was mistakenly arrested on warrant for another man with same name for second time, and held for three days and nights after officers learned of information that raised significant doubts about his identity; plaintiff’s complaint established deliberate indifference to his Fourteenth Amendment right to be free from overdetention, which requires: (1) the defendant’s subjective knowledge of a risk of serious harm in the form of continued detention even after the plaintiff had a right to be released; (2) disregard of that risk; and (3) disregard by conduct that is more than mere negligence); right to be free from prolonged detention without any effort by officers to resolve doubts about identity was clearly established; plaintiff failed to establish a Monell claim.
