SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 13 – Two men charged with selling fentanyl and guns out of one of their superintendent's office in The Bronx were presented for bail or detention on September 13 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Gary Stein. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag court.
The first defendant, portrayed as more involved in the drugs, consented to detention. But the superintendent argued for bail.
The AUSA said the man and his wife have two luxury cars - an Audi and an Alfa Romeo - and a home in Connecticut. The Federal Defender replied the home is in Waterbury, which he called not affluent, and that there remain large loans on the two cars.
Judge Stein said the superintendent can be released - but after more AUSA argument, that it would only be after all conditions are met: four signatories, and a lien on the Connecticut house.
The case is US v. Garcia, et al., 24-mj-824 (Stein)
