SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 18 -- Dagberto Gonzalez
was arrested on Friday, March
20 at 12:45 pm. Due to the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New
York's new noon cut-off for
new presentments triggered by
the Coronavirus crisis, he
waited until Monday, March 23
to be presented.
When he was, Assistant US
Attorney Kedar Bhatia told
SDNY Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave that Gonzalez was
arrested with eight kilograms
of fentanyl and $10,000 case,
and three children under 10
years told in his vehicle.
Gonzalez' Federal
Defender noted that a field
test pegged the substance as
cocaine. When AUSA Bhatia said
that found on Gonzalez's phone
was a photo of him with a gun,
she asked to see it. The photo
was not available in court,
only back at the US Attorney's
Office.
Judge Cave
took a recess to the robing
room of large courtroom 24B
with Pre Trial Services. When
she emerged, she ordered
Gonzalez to be tried to home
incarceration at his house in
Texas after all conditions
were fulfilled: $100,000 bond
secured by his home and two
co-signers, and turning in the
passport card cited in the
non-public pre trial services
report. The case is US v.
Gonzalez, 20-mj-3131
(Cave).
