OK- now in Mag court, defendant Keita was air-lifted in from Arkansas, for trafficking guns to The #Bronx. AUSA links his guns to Bronx shooting, asks for detention. Threadette below, story later 
Asst US Attorney: Keita got straw purchaser to buy 9mm and .380, cites high speed chase with stolen Dodge in Pine Bluff, Ark, then failure to appear in court.
AUSA adds that the stolen car was taken in a kidnapping - but no express link of that to Keita. Since the chase, Keita's been moving the guns by bus. AUSA says they recorded his jail calls, targeting co-defendants.
Judge: Do you have the transcript?
A: Not here.
Judge: Do you have the transcript?
A: Not here.
Judge has taken a break before deciding. Some are asking, where are the notes or transcript of the recorded jail call?
All rise!
Judge: I will release the defendant, with location monitoring, to his father in the Bronx, on Sheridan Avenue [we are not publishing the address]
AUSA: We are going to appeal.
Story soon.
