SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 6 – Martin Reyes is
accused of selling more than a
kilogram of heroin out of a
hidden trap in his car. On
February 5, Assistant US
Attorney Juliana N. Murray
said Reyes is not eligible for
the safety valve and should be
detained.
Reyes'
Federal Defender Ariel Werner
countered that Reyes has
worked, as a truck driver for
Coke, and that he was an "easy
mark" for the government's
witnesses.
U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn
said she could see conditions
for release, and decided on a
bond of $75,000. It was signed
on February 6, just as the
underlying complaint was put
in PACER.
The
complaint, by DEA Special
Agent Corey Howard, recounts
how on January 30 CS-1 saw in
Reyes' car "a hidden
compartment located in the
center console... in which
Trap Reyes had concealed what
appeared to be package
narcotics."
A second
encounter, with CS-2 on
February 4, resulted in arrest
and a search of the
trap. The case is US v.
Reyes, 20-mj01315
(Netburn).
