Hashi Mohammed arrested
There are no details of where or when Mohammed was arrested or how he might have been injured. He lived at 4 West 128th Street, a block east of an area of Lenox Avenue that saw extensive disorder after 1 AM. Mohammed did not appear in the Washington Heights Magistrate's Court until March 22, whereas most of those arrested in the disorder had been in court on March 20. That delay may have been the result of his injury? Magistrate Ford held him on bail of $2500 to appear in the Court of Special Sessions, above the typical bail of $500, on the charge of possessing a weapon. Mohammed pled guilty to the charge of inciting a riot, according to the docket book, and Ford sentenced him to thirty days in the Workhouse [could a Magistrate sentence him on this charge - or does this mean the charge was reduced to disorderly conduct]
