SDNY CourthouseAugust 19 – A man who traveled from New Jersey through the Port Authority Bus Terminal on June 11 with eight pounds of methamphetamine in a backpack and then to the Bronx to sell it was brought before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge James L. Cott on June 21, according to HSI. Inner City Press was there, the only media outlet in the SDNY Magistrate Court.
The complaint describes a previous controlled purchase, also in the Bronx, on April 8. It includes a photo of the defendant’s Mexican voting card.
He was assigned a federal public defender who consented to his detention and waived the 30th day for the preliminary hearing.
On the thirtieth day, in the interest of justice, a continuance was ordered. On August 19, charges were filed and the case was assigned to District Judge Margaret M. Garnett.
The case is US v. Cuatle-Coyotl, 24-cr-491 (Garnett)
