EMT Charged With Mailing Narcotics in Uniform Is Bailed No Prescriptions but Narcan



EMT Charged With Mailing Narcotics in Uniform Is Bailed No Prescriptions but Narcan

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 3 รข€“    A defendant charged with mailing illegal narcotics from US Post Office while wearing his EMT uniform was presented on April 3 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Chief Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn. Inner City Press was there. 

 The Assistant US Attorney did not seek detention - but wanted a condition that the defendant be required to tell his employer, an EMT company, about his arrest and the charged.

  Judge Netburn said she's never heard of that before, and inquired into the connection.

Ultimately she declined to impose the requested condition, instead saying he must not administer drugs (other than Narcan and, incongrously, oxygen).

 He is also not to got to the consulate or UN Mission of Mexico. 

The case is USA v. Rojas Escobar, 1:26-mj-1151 (Netburn)
