Brooklyn Man Held on $20,000 Bail in Boyfriend’s Body-Dumping Case

The medical examiner is determining Darrell Montgomery’s cause of death, which police currently do not consider suspicious.

Overview

  • Prosecutors say Christopher Moss shouted “I’m the captain of the police,” head-butted an officer, and tried to grab a detective’s gun during his arrest.
  • Judge Linda Wilson ordered a psychological evaluation and set bail at $20,000 at Moss’s arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
  • Surveillance video recovered by the superintendent shows Moss dragging a blue bin to the building’s garbage area, according to prosecutors.
  • Workers discovered Montgomery’s remains Friday in a trash bag inside a large bin outside the E. 21st St. building after residents reported a foul odor; the body was intact but severely decomposed.
  • Authorities report no signs of trauma and say an autopsy is underway to determine the cause of death, which is believed not to involve foul play.
