根據法院官員說法，在數百隻蟑螂於一場傳訊爆發的爭吵被放出以後，紐約州北部一處法院週二因熏蒸消毒而關閉。

The clash broke out during proceedings in Albany City Court for four people for an arrest at the state Capitol. A defendant who started to film the courtroom proceedings was told to stop. In the altercation that followed, hundreds of cockroaches brought into the courthouse in plastic containers were released, according to the state court system.

衝突在奧爾巴尼市法院審理4人於州議會大廈被捕訴訟案時爆發。一名開始拍攝法庭訴訟程序的被告被要求住手。根據州法院系統資訊，在隨後發生的爭吵中，數百隻裝在塑膠容器帶進法院的蟑螂被放了出來。
