Among those released was 40-year-old Javier Lorenzano-Fercano, who was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal automobile accident, a Class D felony.

It is alleged that on Oct. 25, 2019, Lorenzano-Fercano was driving in the Town of Philipstown when he struck and killed a 38-year-old man and then fled the area without reporting the incident. He was arrested the next day in Dutchess County. When Lorenzano-Mercano was released, Immigration officials took him into custody on an ICE detainer.

Also released under the new criminal justice reforms were 50-year-old Suffolk County resident James McInerney who is charged with second-degree grand larceny, a Class C felony, and 28-year-old Brooklyn resident Dusean Davis, who is charged with first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, a Class C felony.
