Jordan Alston, 28, was busted back in November 2023, when a probation officer found a single bullet under a futon in his Brooklyn apartment, according to court filings.

Alston, who was on probation for firing a gun in 2020, was charged with possession of ammunition as a felon, and he initially made bail on that charge.

And on May 31, he was caught hiding a shank in his waistband during a search of his cell.
