Brazen NYC gangbanger who’s already racked up 9 arrests this year keeps getting cut loose due to woke bail reform: sources
NY Post
A Bronx gangbanger who has racked up nine arrests this year on a bevy of wild charges is free on the streets of New York City after being repeatedly sprung without bail.
Alleged Latin Kings member Emmanuel Santiago, 32, keeps ending up in cuffs even as he faces seven open cases in the Bronx on charges ranging from intent to sell dangerous drugs, grand larceny of cars, possession of weapons, and allegations of domestic violence, according to law enforcement sources.
The brazen gangster was most recently arrested a December heist in the Bronx where he broke into a cop car and made off with an arsenal of police gear including gun belts and ammunition, bullet proof vests, a riot shield and baton, mace, handcuffs, and a radio, the law enforcement sources said.
Despite the laundry list of alleged offenses — including at least 31 domestic incidents ranging from alleged assaults to death threats against women — Santiago has repeatedly been let go on non-monetary release, according to the law enforcement sources.
Even after he was re-arrested on bench warrants for ditching required court appearances, Santiago continued to add to his criminal resume.
He is just one of numerous NYC recidivists who have been allowed to walk free without bail — only to soon land in cuffs again once out — since state lawmakers in Albany passed sweeping criminal justice reforms in 2019.
