SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 3 – Nefy Mendez faced
detention pending trial on
charges of a New Years Eve
armed robbery but was released
on bond on February 3 by U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah
Netburn.
The
underlying complaint recounts
Mendez and two others meeting
in the lobby of a building on
Davidson Avenue in The Bronx
at 5:10 pm on December 31,
2019. Mendez is
described as "carrying a pair
of blue pants that were not
jeans."
At
6:30 pm on December 31, a
barber shop was robbed of
$2,800. Thereafter the three
returned to Davidson Avenue.
On January 30, SDNY Magistrate
Judge James L. Cott sign the
complaint and arrest warrants.
On February 3, Mendez was
presented.
Judge Netburn was in the
middle of saying she could not
find a way to release Mendez
when Federal Defender Martin
Cohen said that his mother was
in the gallary (where Inner
City Press was the only
media). His mother spoke
compellingly.
Judge Netburn concluded that
Mendez could be released to a
mental health program that
Martin Cohen said he would
find; a medical order was
entered. The case is US v.
Mendez, 20-mj-1113 (Netburn).
