COURTHOUSE,
May 31 – When police went to
arrest a man for fishing and
stealing checks from the mail
on 48th Street and Eighth
Avenue on May 29, he jumped
out of a third story window.
Despite injuries, he fled into
a garage. There, he was
arrested.
He
appeared by video from the
hospital with two broken heels
and was detained on consent,
without prejudice to making a
later bail application.
That he made two
days later, by video again
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Jennifer
E. Willis. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the SDNY Mag court.
The
Federal Defender pointed out
that he was hardly a risk of
flight at this point, and that
few are being sentenced to
prison time for mail fishing
in these circumstances.
Judge Willis
agreed, and ordered release on
$50,000 unsecured bond, with
two co-signers.
The
case is US v. Guzman,
24-mj-2044 (Willis)
