SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 14 – Jeffrey Rodriguez was arrested on December 3 at 3 am on charges of having sent cable news contributors a series of violent, threatening, harassing and intimidating communications, including threats of violence, over social media.
Later on December 3, Magistrate Judge Debra C. Freeman held a detention or bail hearing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which Inner City Press covers.
The complaint, which Judge Freeman has sworn out by Facetime the previous day, allowing for Rodriguez' arrest, quotes his accounts calling the broadcasters alternately "barren" or "wrinkle neck."
Judge Freeman on December 3 ordered Rodriguez released on $50,000 personal recognizance bond.
(Earlier in the week Inner City Press witnessed another release, but was told that it was under "delayed docketing" and even the name of the released defendant was not available).
This public case is US v. Rodriguez, 21-mj-11534 (Unassigned)
