Update: 7/15 1:50 p.m.
A man caught on surveillance video attacking a UPS store employee in Miami Gardens will be allowed to post a bond.
Adaya Atum Baki told the judge this morning he doesn't agree with the state's request to set his bond at 50-thousand-dollars and then hold him on complete lockdown under house arrest because, "I still gotta go to federal court. So I have no intention on being on lockdown. I have two federal cases in federal court on the government side, so I have all intensions...." His attorney quickly asked him to be quiet.
Baki's attorney asked for a reasonable bond, arguing there was no intent to commit a burglary.
The judge agreed, and set Baki's aggravated battery bond at 20-thousand-dollars plus house arrest with limited release.

Miami Gardens, FL - A man pistol whipped a South Florida UPS Store manager after an argument over an Amazon return for a printer.
Security footage captured the suspect getting into a verbal argument with the store manager before the confrontation turned violent.
The customer was captured telling the manager "I’m not effing playing with you, dawg," before lunging at him and throwing punches.
At one point, the suspect hit the manager in the face with a handgun.
The store manager spoke to WSVN, telling the outlet "he started hitting me with a handgun a couple of times. Everybody started running in the store."
The manager tells WSVN he tried to calm the suspect, fearing he "was gonna get shot," but the suspect hit the manager in the back of his ear with the gun.
Following the assault, the customer walked away, but vowed to return.
"He said, ‘I’m gonna come back and finish what I started,’ and I don’t think he was talking about the return," the manager tells WSVN.
Officers identified Adaya Atum Baki as the man who attacked the employee.
Police are currently investigating the incident.
