Police: 1 of 3 in Elmont gas station holdup held without bail

One of three men who authorities said held up an Elmont gas station was ordered held without bail Friday.

Albert H. Brady, 33, of Hempstead, is a “known gang member” who has been arrested multiple times, including for robbery, a Nassau prosecutor said at Brady’s arraignment in First District Court in Hemsptead.

Brady and co-defendant, Gregory Williamson, 23, of Laurelton, are each charged with first-degree robbery. Attorneys for both men entered not guilty pleas.

The prosecutor, citing Brady’s criminal history, asked the judge for $1 million bail.

First District Court Judge Joseph Girardi went further and ordered Brady held without bail.

A public defender representing Williamson said he has no prior criminal record. Bail was set at $350,000 bond or cash.

The third co-defendant, Marion Singletary, 37, of Hempstead, was to be arraigned later at Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow.

The three men are suspected of robbing a Gulf station on Linden Boulevard early Thursday before leading Nassau police on a brief chase.

They were taken into custody after their 2011 Infiniti slammed into a guardrail in Valley Stream State Park. Singletary was taken to the hospital to be treated for a fractured pelvis, police said.
