SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 24 –
Ronald
Adams was
charged with
robbing $500
by threatening
a bank
employee in
The Bronx, at
371 East 149th
Street. He
entered the
bank and said
he had a
gun.
On
February 28,
2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York
Magistrate
Judge James L.
Cott held a
change of plea
proceeding.
Inner City
Press covered
the plead
proceeding,
here - and a
subsequent
Friday, June
16 bail
hearing, after
another
alleged bank
robbery.
Remanded was
stayed until
June 20 after
Adams' lawyer
noted that
banks are
closed until
then.
Here
was Inner City
Press' thread:
OK
- now at lunch
hour bail
revocation
hearing on man
who, while
awaiting
sentencing for
bank robbery,
committed
another bank
robbery -
allegedly.
Defense lawyer
says District
Judge has no
jurisdiction.
Federal
Defender asks
to delay
sentencing for
admitted bank
robbery, to
investigate
second
(denied) bank
robbery, says
DOJ has
agreed. Also
says TD bank
is stealing
his Social
Security.
Judge:
Remand (to
jail) is
warranted. [No
US Marshals
here]
Federal
Defender: How
about a stay
until Tuesday?
Banks are
closed until
then.
Judge:
While where
there's a will
there's a way,
granted.
The original
complaint has
two photos of
him - masked,
but then going
into an
apartment of
which he is
the only
resident, on
137th Street.
There is also
evidence from
the NYPD
Latent Print
Section.
Adams
plead guilty
to count 1,
with a
sentencing
control date
of June 27. It
was said that
might be
extended, to
investigate
the new
alleged bank
robbery, with
Adams in the
MDC.
On
November 27,
2023, Adams
signed a
consent to
plead guilty
before a
Magistrate
Judge in the
second case
(the first
case's
sentences has
been delayed).
On
January 17,
2024, Adams'
Federal
Defender wrote
it and ask for
a time served
sentence with
six months of
intensive
treatment, so
he can stay in
Mill Brook
Terrace. Adams
is 70 years
old.
On
January 24
Adams got time
served - but
also 24 months
of inpatient
treatment for
substance
abuse disorder
and mental
health.
The
first case is
US v. Adams,
23-cr-109
(Marrero)
The
new case is US
v. Adams,
23-cr-618
(Marrero)
