We get to arraignment.

I stand in front of the judge.

My partner stands right next to me with another union president, not union president, another union lawyer with the union president and a union representative.

They read out, the judge reads out, A1 possession, criminal sale, and A1 attempted sale.

$500,000, $750,000 bond.

And I'm just like, whoa, wait, like,

Like I'm expecting a 50, 70 K, like, you know, and I look at my lawyer, he goes, I'll talk to you in a bit.

I'm looking at my mom.

She made it.

She was with my girlfriend at the time.

And I'm just like, I don't know what I'm getting, what I got myself into.

Anything A1 in New York City consists of whatever it is.

If it's eight ounces or more, it's considered an A1 felony.

Okay.

We get back to the cell, and I'm like, man, this is big.

The lawyer comes back.

He goes, listen, I'll see you in the morning.

You'll probably end up in Westchester County or Nassau County.

Nassau County is all the way in Long Island.

Westchester is in Yonkers, maybe 25 minutes out from where Rikers Island is.
