Man Charged with Gunpoint Robberies of Restaurant Patrons in NoHo Is Detained in SDNY by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 2 – A man charged with the gunpoint robberies of restaurant patrons in NoHo - McDougall Street, Minetta Lane, Bleeker Street - was presented in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrates Court on June 2. Inner City Press was there.    Magistrate Judge Gary Stein read out loud the seven charges against the defendant. The case is federal because of the Hobbs Act.  There is a co-defendant, who it seems will be put in a different prison, Essex in New Jersey rather than the MDC, where this defendant was headed.     His CJA lawyer consented to detention.  The case is USA v. Amarante Bolivar, 1:26-mj-1986 (Gary Stein) *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
