A Lawyer Was Wrongly Charged With Bringing Drug-Laced Papers Into Rikers
A public defender was visiting a client at Rikers last month, armed with papers he had printed out from his own computer to prepare for his client's upcoming trial on robbery charges. After the defender, Bernardo Caceres, 30, consulted with the client, he was flagged by a Correction Department dog, and his papers were tested for drugs. He was detained in a Rikers holding cell for two hours and then told his materials had tested positive for THC, the main psychoactive chemical compound in marijuana, Mr. Caceres said. He was arrested and charged with promoting prison contraband, and the accusations were widely broadcast in local news outlets. But on Tuesday, the day he was scheduled to appear in court, the Bronx district attorney's office called his lawyer to say the charges were being dropped, Mr. Caceres said. Subsequent testing had come back clean. A spokeswoman for the office confirmed on Thursday that Mr. Caceres's case had been dismissed and sealed. 'My name was smeared and my reputation clearly damaged,' Mr. Caceres said. 'Pretty much the only thing on the internet about me were accusations of me being a drug peddler.' Mr. Caceres and his lawyers said this was not the first time the Correction Department's drug testing was inaccurate and resulted in a false arrest. Earl Ward, a lawyer for Mr. Caceres, said that the Department of Corrections had 'been on notice' about inaccurate results, referring to a 2024 report published by the city's Department of Investigation that said the Correction Department's drug-testing results were often flawed. 'This is someone who is a professional,' Mr. Ward said. 'He had his face plastered all over the media as a drug smuggler.' And, Mr. Caceres said, his client is 'back to square zero' since his lawyer's arrest resulted in a mistrial. He is still in Rikers. 'I want the world to know what's going on, and just how wrong it is,' Mr. Caceres said. 'Because I'm not the first. And while I hope to be the last, I don't expect to be.' Following the arrest, the Department of Correction said that Mr. Caceres's papers were discolored, which can indicate the presence of drugs. The department declined to comment on the new results. Mr. Caceres worked for Queens Defenders, which represents indigent clients, at the time of his arrest. He has since been hired by Brooklyn Defender Services, which recently took over the Queens Defenders contract.

Anaheim woman arrested for 2024 crash that killed 67-year-old man
Irvine police arrested a woman from Anaheim on Thursday for a 2024 crash that killed a 67-year-old man. The deadly hit-and-run collision happened on May 9, 2024, near the intersection of Culver Drive and Trabuco Road. The Irvine Police Department said the 67-year-old victim, Allen Yangkaou Lee, drove through the intersection when another car, a Honda Civic with distinct racing-style decals, made a right turn against a red light in front of him. Lee swerved to avoid the driver but lost control of his 2004 Toyota Corolla and crashed into the center median before slamming into a tree and a light pole. "Our dad is gone," daughter Elaine Lee. "My kids won't have a grandfather." Lee's family said he was coming home after a weekly lunch with friends. Irvine detectives called this a no-contact, hit-and-run crash since the driver, 24-year-old Francis Guadalupe Tercero-Benavides, failed to stop. Detectives found Tercero-Benavides' car six days after the deadly crash but struggled to locate her because she frequently moved, according to Irvine PD. More than a year after the collision, police finally found Tercero-Benavides and arrested her for vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run charges.

Los Angeles-area man pleads not guilty to possessing Molotov cocktail at ICE protest
A 23-year-old man pleaded not guilty on Thursday to possessing a Molotov cocktail during immigration enforcement protests in the city of Paramount last month. Emiliano Garduno Galvez of Paramount faces two federal counts of possession of an unregistered destructive device and civil disorder, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Federal prosecutors allege that Galvez lit and threw a Molotov cocktail over a wall during the June 7 protest, knowing that L.A. County Sheriff's Department deputies were on the other side. No deputies were hit by the Molotov cocktail, according to authorities. A Molotov cocktail is typically a bottle filled with flammable liquid and a wick that is ignited before being thrown. Federal officials stated a crowd had gathered earlier in the day near a staging area for federal agents preparing for an immigration enforcement operation. "When protesting crosses the line into violence, the penalties will be severe," U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in an earlier statement when announcing protest-related arrests. "Possessing a Molotov cocktail or another destructive device is punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison." At a previous hearing, Galvez was denied bond after a judge noted a risk of flight and an attempt to obstruct justice, as well as his criminal history. The judge said Galvez's past criminal history includes driving under the influence, obstruction of a police officer, resisting arrest, driving without a license and that he was wanted on a warrant out of state court. The trial for Galvez is set for Aug. 19 in Santa Ana federal court.
