SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 24 –
Brandon Gardner was arrested
in 2017 for selling crack.
On April 17, 2020
he was brought up on charges
of violating his Supervised
Release in a high speed chase
away from the police, in front
of U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
Inner City Press covered it.
The US
alleged that on March 14,
2020, Gardner "left the scene
of a personal injury accident
[and] led NYPD officers on a
high speed chase and
read-ended an occupied vehicle
causing injury to the driver."
While
ultimately he was not remanded
but made subject to a new
Federal court date of June 19,
if not for Coronavirus he
might have been remanded.
Now in August
2021, with Gardner having
pleaded guilty and now in
Essex, he has written to Judge
Cote: "I have researched
recent sentences from SDNY and
have become aware of 'COVID
credits' being granted in many
cases." He cites inadequate
cleaning supplies. An AUSA
status letter is due on
December 17.
The case is US v.
Gardner, 18-cr-317 (Cote).
