SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 20 รข€“ In Floral Park at 6 in the morning on May 23, Laquan Williams was arrested on charges of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft.

  He was presented before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Jennifer E. Willis. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag court. 

 The AUSA sought detention on risk of flight grounds, and the assigned CJA defense lawyer said he consented to detention.  The unsealed indictment was bare bones.  

Jump cut to October 2026: Williams was sentenced to 200 months, with FCI Butner cited in the judgment.

 The case is US v. Williams, 24-cr-317 (Swain)
