The thing I have not seen at any point is probable cause given for the actual arrest.

What I have seen is reasonable suspicion to "stop and frisk." Based on the charging document, he surrendered to police. At which point, they had the right to ask for ID, frisk, etc. HOWEVER, once that's done, unless there is an open warrant or something else, there is no probable cause to place him under arrest as I have not heard of any crime committed. Maybe he attacked the officers during the stop and frisk - if so, and St. Attorney Office fails to include those facts, it will ultimately bite them in the ass.
