Man Detained for 2 Shirt Nordstrom Burglary While Jawbreaker Walks Free from 100 Centre Street by Matthew & Russell Lee, Patreon Substack 100 CENTRE ST, June 18 – A man charged with stealing two shirts from Nordstrom was brought handcuffed into 100 Centre Street on June 18. Before him, defendant after defendant had been ordered released. But not Mister Nordstrom.   The prosecutor emphasized this defendant's nine felony convictions, 41 misdemeanor convictions, 11 failures to appear and five parole revocations. He also, it emerged, stole hair rollers from Marshals.    The defense requested supervised release, noting his age - 62 - and mental health as well as cardiac issues. Detention, she said, would throw into jeopardy his supportive housing. He is indigent and cannot pay any bail, she concluded.   The judge, however, set $5000 bail. This defendant was taken back into the holding cell.   Previously, tweeted: defendant charged with felony burglary. Prosecutor asks for $30,000 cash bail - says in an SRO building, he kicked in a door and hit the resident in the face twice with a hard aluminum can. Defense: Release him. Judge: OK.   Two defendants charged with trademark violations on 33rd Street and Seventh Avenue - that is, right next to Madison Square Garden - though brought in cuffed left quickly with Adjourned Contemplating Dismissals. James Dolan was nowhere to be seen.  Then, defendant charged with punching intimate partner in the face, breaking her jaw. She cannot eat or drink without a straw for now. Prosecutor wants order of protection for "sanctity of the investigation."  Defense: No objection to order of protection. Judge: No texts. Panhandler enters  Defense: He was in Part F yesterday. It looks like that case is going to be dismissed. He scored 20 out of 25. He made 14 out of 14 appointments.  Prosecutor: Maybe he's a New Yorker - but he has charges in NJ (2020) and Ohio (2021). Maybe he was visiting  Prosecutor: He also has a cycle in Florida. Judge: CASES? CASES: He has made 14 out of 14 appointments. We recommend he be released on Tier 1.  Judge: This is a bail qualifying offense. But he has a job. He appears in court. I do not think bail is necessary.   But he found bail necessary for Mister Nordstrom. And so it goes, in 100 Centre Street. *** Your support means a lot.
