Ingrid Lewis-Martin surrendered to Manhattan prosecutors and was arraigned on a new corruption indictment while handcuffed and escorted through 100 Centre St. She appeared confident, wearing a golden suit as her son, Glenn Martin II, also appeared in handcuffs. The indictment accuses Lewis-Martin and her son of accepting about $75,000 in benefits in exchange for favors, including steering city contracts for shelters housing asylum-seekers to preferred property owners. Prosecutors alleged that Lewis-Martin made City Hall available for a price and said she was 'open for business' to those willing to play her. Lewis-Martin pleaded not guilty.
