Attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong and St. Paul School Board member Chauntyll Allen were initially granted release by Judge Douglas Micko on conditions, including no contact with potential victims or witnesses in the investigation, a stay-away order from Cities Church and no travel outside Minnesota without prior approval from their probation officers.
Attorneys representing the government, however, made a motion to stay the release for further review, claiming they might be flight risks, which Micko granted following appearances at a federal courthouse in St. Paul. They were being held in the Sherburne County jail as of Thursday evening, with a detention hearing expected Friday.
Jim Cook, Allen’s attorney, said Armstrong and Allen “were about to walk out of the courtroom” when the federal government appealed the judge’s decision, blocking their release. “It just feels unfair.”
