COURTHOUSE,
July 31 –
A defendant was brought into
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court on July 31,
charged as a felon in
possession of a gun. Inner
City Press was in the gallery
and live tweeted:
AUSA: We are seeking detention. Police
officers spotted this defendant in The Bronx
on Home Street and Interval Avenue with a gun.
They asked him to stop but he did not. He ran
and threw the magazine first, then the gun,
into the street, at 6:29 pm
AUSA: This is his third gun charge in four
hours. He was sentenced to three years in
2024. He is a danger: he ran at full speed
down a residential street. He pulled out a
loaded firearm, then threw the magazine over a
fence. We have body-worn camera video
Federal Defender: He is a livelong resident of
NYC. He was released from prison in January of
this year. He was presented in The Bronx and
bailed out. Of course, their standard is
different. But he should be released. He is a
musical artist
Judge: I will release him on $100,000
unsecured bond, with two co-signers. But
you will be detained until all conditions are
met. When can the suretors sign?
Federal Defender: I'll aim for Monday.
Judge: You can use this time to make music.
