Bryant surrenders passport, posts bond Posted by the _Asbury Park Press_ (http://www.app.com/) on 04/3/07 GANNETT NEW JERSEY _Post Comment _ (http://app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20070403&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=70403023&SectionCat=&Template=printart#comments) TRENTON — Indicted state Sen. Wayne Bryant, D-Lawnside, made his first appearance today in federal court, where he posted a $250,000 personal recognizance bond and surrendered his passport.
Bryant, who faces fraud and bribery charges, does not have to put up the cash but agrees to be responsible for that amount if he fails to show up to court as required. During the hearing before U.S. District Judge John J. Hughes, Bryant was told he faces 150 years in prison while R. Michael Gallagher, a former dean at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, faces 220 years in prison on the same federal charges. Bryant was told he could only travel within New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. Gallagher surrendered his passport, a 30-year-old shotgun and was told his travel was restricted to New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and Florida. The two men were to leave the courthouse this morning and be taken to FBI headquarters in Hamilton to be fingerprinted. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
