SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 24 – Warren Bartley was arrested in a DEA "Hobbs Act robbery" sting, agreeing to find drivers to rip off drug dealers.
On May 24, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein held his sentencing. Inner City Press covered it.
It emerged that Bartley has no legal status - anywhere. He was born to an Jamaican immigrant mother in the UK, who never registered his birth before bringing him to the US. He can't even be deported to the UK. He checks in with ICE, the docket shows.
Judge Hellerstein, hearing this, sentence Bartley to time served and wished him well. You are free, he said, then qualified it, "since you are a religious person."
The case is US v. Bartley, 16-cr-842 (Hellerstein)
