COURTHOUSE,
Oct 10 – A man arrested with a
loaded gun on the Third Avenue
Bridge between Manhattan and
The Bronx was presented for
bail or detention on September
12 before U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Magistrate Judge
Sarah Netburn. Inner City
Press was there, the only
media in the SDNY Mag
court.
The
Assistant US Attorney said his
office had determined that the
defendant could be released on
bond, as long as it was to
home detention. Judge
Netburn asked him to explain
why detention was not
appropriate.
The
AUSA noted that the defendant
had been injured in a
motorcycle accident (the AUSA
had first called it while
trying to evade police).
The
Federal Defender began to say
home detention should be not
imposed - but stopped when
Judge Netburn said it was
between that and detention.
Ultimately she
agreed he could be bailed,
with a $150,000 bond with
three co-signers. At by day's
end he left the courthouse,
out only Worth Street.
On October 10,
Bonilla was indicted,
specifying a 9 mm Taurus, and
the case was wheeled out to
District Judge Richard M.
Berman.
The case
is USA v. Bonilla,
1:24-cr-590 (Berman)
