SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 15 – Joan Mercedes and
more than a dozen others have
been indicted for a narcotics
conspiracy in Upper Manhattan.
On
September 15, 2023 Mercedes
appeared with only his lawyer
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Gregory H.
Woods.Inner City Press was
there.
Mercedes
had missed a September 6 mass
proceeding at which a schedule
had been set, with Speedy
Trial Act time excluded
through December 12,
2023.
The initial
complain describes drug sales
in front of 2304 Amsterdam
Avenue, near 174th Street.
Judge Woods told Mercedes not
to miss the December 12
conference. A letter in the
docket explains the absence.
The case is US v.
Santos, et al., 22-cr-522
(Woods)
