Local News in Brief : $500,000 Bail for Parolee
A federal immigration judge Tuesday set bail for former Reseda auto dealer Harvey Rader at $500,000 pending a deportation hearing Sept. 7.
Immigration Judge John T. Zastrow denied requests from the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the California attorney general’s office that Rader, who is a British subject, be held without bail until the hearing, said John Holya, an acting INS district counsel.
Rader was taken into INS custody last week after he was paroled from federal prison in Phoenix, where he served a sentence for attempting to obtain a U.S. passport in someone else’s name.
Los Angeles police recently asked the district attorney’s office to charge Rader with multiple murder in the 1982 disappearances of Northridge residents Sol Salomon, his wife, Elaine, and their two children. But the district attorney’s office declined, citing insufficient evidence.
