Alleged Latin Kings member Emmanuel Santiago, 32, keeps ending up in cuffs even as he faces seven open cases in the Bronx on charges ranging from intent to sell dangerous drugs, grand larceny of cars, possession of weapons, and allegations of domestic violence, according to law enforcement sources.

Despite the laundry list of alleged offenses — including at least 31 domestic incidents ranging from alleged assaults to death threats against women — Santiago has repeatedly been let go on non-monetary release, according to the law enforcement sources.

He is just one of numerous NYC recidivists who have been allowed to walk free without bail — only to soon land in cuffs again once out — since state lawmakers in Albany passed sweeping criminal justice reforms in 2019.

In the East Bronx, rape has soared by 175%, felony assault by 18%, grand larceny by 70%, and major crimes overall by 27%, according to NYPD figures.

Other numbers suggest that repeat offenders are to blame for chunks of crime — last year, the NYPD reported that a mere 327 people were to blame for 30% of the city’s shoplifting crimes in 2022.

“And that’s the real problem with recidivism — it is not the sheer number of arrests, but the persistent thought or mindset of disregard for a functioning society,” the law enforcement source said.

“The reforms apparently don’t treat a known member of the Latin Kings different than a jaywalker.”
