Presented As 1 Hour

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 27 – While
many even most
cases in the
Magistrates
Court of the U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York are
sealed or have
case numbers
given only
later, on August
27
before
Magistrate
Judge Katherine
H. Parker a
defendant
Yefrel Brito
was presented
and detained
to the MCC,
spoken about
earlier in the
day in
connection
with the death
of Jeffrey
Epstein, here.
Brito's
25 hour gap
between arrest
and
presentment
mis-portrayed
on his Initial
Appearance
form as being
a single
hour. The form
says Date of
Arrest
8/27/19, Time
of Arrest 4:30
pm, Time
of Presentment
5:35 pm. One
hour would
be a record.
In fact, as
revealed in
the Complaint,
Brito was
arrested the
day before on
August 26.
He was
crossing
Valentine Avenue in
The
Bronx against
the light when
Police
approached him
and observed,
according to
the Complaint,
a plastic
twist and
currency
sticking out
of his
sneakers. He
confessed to
marijuana and
then had 80
ziplocks of
crack found on
him. Now he
faces 10 years
in prison and
on that basis
was detained
on consent.
And so it goes
in the
SDNY.
On
August 26 a
defendant came
in after
self-surrendering
in a
multi-defendant
bank fraud and
ID theft
case.
His name
seems to be
Scott Acheampong
a/k/a Montana
in the indictment
19-cr-582, assigned
to SDNY
District Judge
Alvin K.
Hellerstein
who will see
Montana on
September 5.
He was bailed
for $50,000
and allowed to
travel to
Connecticut,
with
urinalysis.
