COURTHOUSE,
\n Aug 7 \u2013 A man charged with
\n armed drug dealing had a bail
\n fight on August 7 in the U.S.
\n District Court for the
\n Southern District of New York
\n Magistrates Court. Inner City
\n Press was there, the only
\n media in the SDNY Mag court,
\n and live tweeted:<\/p>\n

AUSA: We found
\n the bag with crack, the gun,
\n his DNA on the gun, and $732
\n in various denominations. He
\n fled from law enforcement
\n twice. During yesterday’s
\n arrest he said he would have
\n fled, “I’m going to make you
\n work for it.” Federal
\n Defender: No warrants<\/p>\n

AUSA: He proposes
\n to live in a place with a
\n woman who tried to help him by
\n secreting his drugs in her
\n pants. Federal Defender: NYS
\n released him. He enrolled in
\n the Fortune Society.\u00a0
\n Judge: What is that? FD: An
\n alternative to incarceration
\n program<\/p>\n

Federal Defense:
\n He works at the uncle’s food
\n truck, they set up the tent
\n and serve. He’s also worked in
\n Hunts Point. Yes he was
\n arrested in February in the
\n car with the drugs, they’re
\n saying the woman tried to hide
\n the drugs but she was not
\n charged.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Judge: One
\n of the charges was for
\n resisting arrest Federal
\n Defender: That’s a misdemeanor
\n in the NYS system Judge: The
\n state system does not have the
\n authority to detain someone
\n based on danger, so I don’t
\n consider what they did, you’re
\n wasting your breath<\/p>\n

Judge: What if we
\n keep him off the block he was
\n dealing drugs on? FD: I think
\n it’s about one train stop
\n away. Judge: Give me a moment
\n
[steps out, returns] I believe
\n I can release him <\/p>\n

Judge: $100,000
\n unsecured bond, no guns, not
\n to be on the block where the
\n alleged drug dealing took
\n place – Westchester between
\n Beach and Lawrence Streets in
\n The Bronx – not released where
\n listed. Conditions to be met
\n before he is released <\/p>\n

The case is USA
\n v. Washington, 1:26-mj-3201
\n (Gary Stein)<\/p>\n
