The Judge
A Brooklyn gang member sprung from jail on a paltry $1,000 bail after two gun busts just 10 days apart has been nabbed again — for an alleged armed robbery with two illegal pistols, The Post has learned.
In his latest crime, Junior Regis, 23, threatened his victim with a stolen .40-caliber Taurus handgun and a defaced 9 mm Kel-Tec after stealing the man’s cash and cellphone Feb. 17, court papers allege.
Regis was caught with the guns — both loaded — about 30 minutes later when the victim, a 21-year-old man, pointed him out to cops from the 63rd Precinct anti-crime team, police sources said on Wednesday.
Regis already has two pending gun cases against him — from arrests on Nov. 25 and Dec. 5 — but was free to roam the streets because Judge Genine Edwards set his bail at just $1,000 after the second of those busts.
As The Post reported, Edwards’ decision overruled a prosecution request to send Regis to the slammer without bail or at least require him to post $500,000.
After Edwards set the measly bail, Regis easily posted it and was freed.
