SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 30 – Jose Luis Disla
Melo is charged in connection
with an alleged delivery of
drugs into a shopping mall
parking lot in New
Jersey.
On
March 30, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge J. Paul Oektken
held an evidentiary hearing.
Inner City Press covered it.
The
DEA agent narrated why he was
suspicious of the truck, and
pulled it over for a traffic
violation: changing lane
without signaling. The defense
asked why a truck parked in a
mall parking lot would be
dangerous.
No one got
out of the truck, was the
answer.
But didn't
others stay in their vehicles,
if they were picking some one
up, he was
asked.
Indeed.
Judge Oekten
reserved decision, with
detention continued.
The case is US v.
Ramos et al., 20-cr-29
(Oetken)
