SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 24 – Akeame Ricardo Spence
was arrested in New York on
November 23 on a warrant from
the U.S. District Court for
South Carolina.
Late on
November 23 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Chief
Magistrate Judge Gabriel W.
Gorenstein held a presentment.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Spence was
assigned a Federal Defender,
and was ordered released on
$100,000 bond.
Later still
on November 23, the Federal
Defender wrote to Judge
Gorenstein noting that while
home detention had been
ordered, "the bond as issued
by the clerk's office,
however, specified 'home
incarceration' instead of
'home detention."
He asked for a
switch, to "allow Mr. Spence
to continue to work, among
other things." Judge
Gorenstein endorsed it.
The case is US v.
Spence, 20-mj-12584
(Gorenstein).
