COURTHOUSE,
May 14 รข€“ Two men arrested for
drugs and guns in the Bronx
were to have their trial date
set by U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Denise L. Cote on
October 31. Inner City Press
was there. The
complaint has photos of drugs
and guns, and a hydraulic
kilogram press and metal
plates bearing a Rolex logo
and a Nike logo. When Judge
Cote said April 13, defense
counsel said that lead counsel
had a conflict at that time.
She should have been here,
Judge Cote said, and set
another conference for
November 7 at 2:30 pm. There, she set
the trial for June 1, 2026
with defense motions due on
March 13. On March 13 the
Federal Defender filed a
motion to suppress two kilo of
cocaine found by a DEA search
of a car on West Fordham Road
in The Bronx, after officers
followed him in and out of 8
Fordham Hill Oval. On April 30, as
to co-defendant Gagot, a May 8
change of plea (to guilty)
proceeding was scheduled. He did plead
guilty on May 8 - the US
sought remanded but it was
denied - and sentencing was
set for August 7 at 2:30 pm. On May 18 the
lead defendant pled guilty -
and unlike his co-defendant
was remanded to jail, with
sentencing set for September
18. The case
is USA v. Reyes, et al.,
