Multiple reports, including CNN and the New York Post citing the Manhattan DA's office and court proceedings, say Larry Montes (spelled 'Montez' in the claim) was arraigned Saturday night in Manhattan Criminal Court and a judge set bail at $10,000 cash plus $30,000 in bonds for the Central Synagogue service disruption.

Supports. CNN reports that Montes was arraigned Saturday night in criminal court, where a judge set bail at $10,000 cash and $30,000 in bonds, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.[2][4]
Supports. The New York Post reports that Judge Janice Chen set bail at $10,000 cash and $30,000 in bonds at the arraignment on hate crime charges, over the DA's request for higher bail.[3]
Supports. A federal government letter states that bail for the state charges arising from the same incident was set at $10,000 cash, a $30,000 insured bond, and a $30,000 partially secured surety bond.[5]
Supports. The charges stem from the disruption of Friday Shabbat services at Central Synagogue in Manhattan, consistent with the claim's 'disrupting a synagogue service' framing.[2][6]
Context. The claim's surname 'Montez' differs from 'Montes' in the sources; the age, Bronx residence, and synagogue incident match, so this is treated as the same person.[1][2]
