COURTHOUSE,
April 11 – Andre Watson after
serving 41 months in prison in
West Virginia had his Federal
supervision transferred to the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
in 2021.
He was arrested
for an assault, described as a
stabbing in the back, and
served time in NYS prison.
Then on April 11 he was
arrested and bought to the
SDNY Magistrates Court on a
violation of supervised
release. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag court.
His Federal
Defender said he should be
released on bond.
Judge
Netburn took a break and, it
emerged, inquired and learned
that the assigned District
Judge John P. Cronan will see
Watson on April 12. She
ordered him detained until
then.
The case is US v.
Watson, 21-cr-589 (Cronan)
