SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 22 – Christopher
Montanez has been detained
pending trial on charges of
brandishing a gun to rob a
bank at 706 Allerton Avenue in
the Bronx on January 21. But
there is more to the
story. The
complaint on which Montanez is
detained alleged that on
January 16, Montanez
"displayed a firearm in his
waistband" to rob a cell phone
store at 738 Allerton Avenue
of $300.
The
NYPD put up a flier, and then
Confidential Source-1
contacted them and said that
the person in the flier had
been arrest approximately one
year ago "after his
participation in a fight at a
bodega on Allerton Avenue."
The NYPD, Inner City Press now
understands based on its
reporting, used a "recidivist"
data base to identify Montanez
and begin surveilling him,
leading to his arrest and now
detention. Inner City Press
understands that the recidivist
database includes inter alia
turnstile fare beating
incidents. The case is US v.
Montanez, 20-mj-760
(Gorenstein).
