Attorneys for Anthony “Harv” Ellison had asked Judge Paul Engelmayer to release their client from the Metropolitan Correctional Center on $200,000 bail into home confinement due to his asthma.

“The court, based on the trial record and Ellison’s criminal history, regards him as ‘far too great a danger to the community to justify his release,’” wrote Engelmayer, siding with federal prosecutors who had opposed Ellison’s bail application.

Ellison, 32, a high-ranking member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, was convicted last year of the gunpoint kidnapping and robbery of Tekashi and the ear-to-chin slashing of a rival a few months later.  He’s scheduled to be sentenced June 19 and faces up to life in prison.
