COURTHOUSE,
Oct 6 – A defendant with
dozens of previous arrests,
most recently for stolen
scooper, crack and a gun in
The Bronx, came before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Jennifer E.
Willis on September 30. Inner
City Press was there, the only
media in the SDNY Mag
Court:
AUSA: He was
stopped at 3:45 am with a gun
and vials of crack. At the
precinct he said, I should
have gone for it Judge: He may
have meant, Should have run
for it
AUSA: He has been
arrested six times for
resisting arrest. There was
NYS menacing in the 2d degree,
for pulling out a firearm
while holding drugs.
AUSA:
There's been d.v. - his ex
girlfriend says he kicked in
her door, left voice messages
he would kill her and her
daughter.
Federal
Defender: The court in The
Bronx released. He has what we
used to call an addict's rap
sheet. He wasn't reaching for
the gun but rather his ID.
Federal
Defender: The Bronx didn't
bring charges for the domedtic
violence, nor did the
headbutting of a police
officer - you should not
consider either.
Judge: I'll
take a break. [Meanwhile now
here in Mag Court, 2 grand
jury returns - 2 grand juries
sitting? - and AUSA and
officer for warrant review -
jotting it all down
Judge: I do
think there are conditions on
which I will release you.
Judge: Yes there
are many arrests [64] but they
have not been charged as
felonies. He was granted
release - once the Federal
Defenders can show an
in-patient bed for him. It is
not clear if that would be
notated in the docket, which
only became available on
October 1.
On October 4, the
Federal Defender opposed the
US Attorney's Office's motion
to the Part 1 Judge Jennifer
L. Rochon for a stay, granted
to 5 pm on October 6.
On October 6,
Crowell was ordered detained,
on danger to the community and
risk of flight: "Minute Entry
for proceedings held before
Judge Jennifer L. Rochon: Bond
Revocation Hearing as to David
Crowell held on 10/6/2025.
Detention: Risk of
flight/danter." Inner City
Press is following the case.
The case is
USA v. Crowell, 1:25-mj-3022
