A suspected drug dealer who narrowly missed a pedestrian as he drove down a Manhattan sidewalk to evade DEA task force agents was ordered held on bail Tuesday — but will be released from jail in less than two months under new bail-reform laws.

Judge Anne Swern ordered Arfhy “Coyote” Santos held on $100,000 cash or bond at his arraignment Tuesday in Manhattan criminal court on charges of reckless endangerment, leaving the scene of an incident, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, marijuana possession and attempted grand larceny.
