Inner City Press was in the gallery and live tweeted: AUSA: We are seeking detention. Police officers spotted this defendant in The Bronx on Home Street and Interval Avenue with a gun. They asked him to stop but he did not. He ran and threw the magazine first, then the gun, into the street, at 6:29 pm AUSA: This is his third gun charge in four hours. He was sentenced to three years in 2024. He is a danger: he ran at full speed down a residential street. He pulled out a loaded firearm, then threw the magazine over a fence. We have body-worn camera video Federal Defender: He is a livelong resident of NYC. He was released from prison in January of this year. He was presented in The Bronx and bailed out. Of course, their standard is different. But he should be released. He is a musical artist  Judge: I will release him on $100,000 unsecured bond, with two co-signers.  But you will be detained until all conditions are met. When can the suretors sign? Federal Defender: I'll aim for Monday. Judge: You can use this time to make music. Adjourned The case is USA v. Jackson, 1:26-mj-3012 (Parker) *** Your support means a lot.
