RIKERS ISLAND, N.Y. -- (WPIX) -— Michael Walcott was accused four years ago in a Bloods gang conspiracy case that included murder, robbery and drug trafficking among the charges.

“When I got to my car, like, officers came out of nowhere,” Walcott, 38, recalled to PIX11 of the scene near Amsterdam Avenue and 59th Street in Manhattan.
