Jordan Neely’s uncle arrested for pickpocketing after saying Daniel Penny doesn’t deserve plea deal
The New York Post ^ | 05/23/2023 | Joe Marino

An uncle of Jordan Neely — the homeless man choked to death on the subway this month — was arrested near the Port Authority Bus Terminal for allegedly stealing purses from restaurants, police sources said Tuesday.

Christopher Neely, 44, had acted as something of a representative for the grieving family in the aftermath of his 30-year-old nephew’s May 1 death, frequently speaking out about the lightning-rod case.

But Neely was also allegedly wanted for a pattern of grand larceny, including the handbag thefts, according to the sources.

A member of the NYPD’s pickpocket team spotted Neely, of Hamilton Heights, at about 11 p.m. Monday near the Manhattan bus station.

He allegedly took off when the officer approached him — and fought back when cops caught up to him after a brief chase, the sources said.

Eventually, authorities cuffed him and charged him with criminal possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, bail jumping and unlawful possession of a weapon. ***

In an exclusive interview Sunday, Neely told The Post he didn’t think Penny deserved a plea deal after the ex-Marine suggested he’d act the same way if he was put in a similar situation again.

“I want this to go to trial,” Christopher said in response to Penny’s statements to The Post .

“He has too much confidence in himself and has to be taught what he did was wrong.”

Gee, what a sad family history.

This dude should go to trial, using his own criteria, to be shown that pickpocketing is wrong. This dude should not get any plea deal, based on his own criteria for dealing with alleged criminal acts.

He’s just in need of some short-term finance before the civil case is settled.

The uncle doesn’t fall far from the coconut tree, as Kamala would say.

Can we hear what Crump and Sharpton think about this?

Bail Jumping?? Sounds like they had reason to arrest him even before any theft.

It’s a set of techniques like a magician’s.

RE: Dropping charges against a man who obviously has suffered all his life from white racist society.

Of course drop all charges. How would it look when Bragg and the Mayor give him a medal while he’s under indictment? Sheesh.

The colored man who died was not choked to death. It looks like he was high on drugs and died in the hospital later. He was not choked to death. George Floyd Part Deux. Awaiting the autopsy report. They have been dragging their feet on releasing it.

Arrested and immediately released so he can re-offend immediately. He’s got multiple arrests for the same crimes, but the criminal’s rights are more important than the victim’s. Democrats promote, and enable lawlessness.
