Bronx, NY (77WABC) – Less than 24 hours after he was arrested by police, the man authorities say was behind numerous hate-crime related vandalism in Riverdale, was released from custody.
29-year-old Jordan Burnette, faced 42 charges, including burglary, criminal mischief, aggravated harassment and criminal trespassing all as hate crimes. Authorities say Burnette was responsible for smashing windows and cars at Jewish Synagogues throughout the Riverdale section of the Bronx.
After a week long search, and a crime-spree which spanned 11-days, police nabbed the suspect on Saturday morning, after he was riding a bicycle down the wrong-way of a street, near a synagogue which was damaged. Police say after Burnette was uncooperative with displaying identification, they booked him at the 50th precinct station and realized he fit the description of the person he was searching for.
