Christopher Moss, 38, of Brooklyn, is accused of putting his alleged boyfriend’s corpse in a trash bin, prosecutors say.<\/p>\n

Darrell Montgomery’s body was discovered in a garbage bin<\/a> outside 557 East 21st St., according to police. Police sources say his body was severely underweight.<\/p>\n

Moss claims Montgomery was already dead when he discovered his body Friday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used methamphetamines on a consistent basis. I discovered him deceased, and his body was stiff. I didn\u2019t call the police. I tried to place his body in the garbage,” Moss said, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Moss was arraigned Tuesday for concealment of a human corpse, and a psychological evaluation is being ordered, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n

Moss also faces an assault charge in connection to a violent struggle during his arrest Sunday, police sources say.<\/p>\n

Moss’s bail was set at $20,000 cash\/$40,000 bond bail for the assault charge, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office says.<\/p>\n

According to the criminal complaint, Moss lived in the East 21st Street building for over four years and previously lived with Montgomery.<\/p>\n

Neighbors told News 12 that Moss and Montgomery were partners and were known to fight often.<\/p>\n

The medical examiner will determine Montgomery’s official cause of death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christopher Moss, 38, of Brooklyn, is accused of putting his alleged boyfriend’s corpse in a trash bin, prosecutors…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11602,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9236,1873,9237,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-11601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-concealment-of-a-corpse","tag-flatbush","tag-meth","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11601"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11601\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
