COURTHOUSE,
Feb 11 – A man from Jamaica
who entered the US through
Otay Mesa, California then was
arrested in New York with a
gun with the serial number
filed off was indicted on
August 13 in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, which
Inner City Press closely
covers. The case was assigned
to Judge John G. Koeltl.
 The
complaint back in July said
the stop was based on no
license plate on his
motorcycle on 233rd Street in
The Bronx.
 Then they
found the Luger, which in the
Complaint has its filed-off
serial number circled.
The defendant
said he had bought it for
$300. He has previously been
served in person with a Notice
to Appear.
On February 11,
2026 the US Attorney’s Office
wrote in that they obtained a
superseding indictment for gun
in a school zone, and are
dropping the alien charges.
The defense still wants the
trial to proceed on February
23.
 The case
is USA v. Gordon, 1:25-cr-364
(Koeltl)
