SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 5 – Michael Bryant
is in jail on misdemeanor
charges of "intimidating a
Federal officer." But there's
more to the story.
On
September 4 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Bryant's
Federal Defender blamed the
incident, or incidents, on
mental health and Bryant not
getting his medications
including now while
incarcerated.
Assistant
US Attorney Brandon Harper
said the intimidation charge
involved Bryant calling a
federal office a "white b*tch"
and exposing himself.
The
Federal Defender said in a
previous felony, the weapon
was not a loaded firearm but
rather a crucifix.
AUSA Harper
said Bryant had used the
crucifix to threaten a person
of "Arabic
heritage." Judge
Netburn said due to danger to
the community, there will be
no release.
The case is US v.
Bryant (Netburn).
