SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 12 – A crack cocaine
conspiracy with then only one
defendant was alleged in
December 2019 to be taking
place around 168th Street and
Fulton Avenue in The Bronx.
Jose L. Irizzary was charged
in the Complaint, but it was
Destiny Romero and Mikal Tariq
Leahr who were arrested.
On January
6, Judge Sidney H. Stein of
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York held a conference with
both of those arrested. He
said, "We have somebody that
is a fugitive here; Mr. Ross,
correct?"
Assistant US
Attorney Jacob R. Fiddelman
replied, "That's correct. Mr.
Ross has not yet been
apprended."
On February 12 in
the SDNY Magistrates Court,
with Inner City Press the only
media present, Martin Ross was
brought in shackled, and left
the same way.
Magistrate Judge
Robert W. Lehrburger confirmed
that he was being "remanded on
consent," and would appear
with the others at a
conference before District
Judge Stein on March 13. The
case is US v. Ross, 19-cr-913
(Stein / Lehrburger).
