Brooklyn scrap metal robber pleads guilty to violating probation
A man who previously spent years in prison for an armed robbery of a Brooklyn scrap metal shop pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating his supervised release by calling a woman who had a restraining order against him.
“I had a restraining order against me, sir, and I called the victim,” Antonio Pabon told Federal Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn’s federal court.
Pabon immediately looked to his 72-year-old mother in the court audience and smiled as court marshals escorted him to his seat.
