A Brooklyn man pleaded guilty after he was accused of trying to cut the brake lines on an NYPD vehicle amid the George Floyd protests and riots last year.
Jeremy Trapp, 25, pleaded guilty in Brooklyn Federal Court on Friday to one count of destruction of a vehicle, said the Department of Justice (DOJ) in a news release. Trapp also pleaded guilty to unrelated charges of wire fraud.
Prosecutors said Trapp on July 17, 2020, crawled under a marked NYPD van in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, before he partially severed “a line that is part of the NYPD Van’s anti-lock braking system, which is similar in appearance to, and in the same location as, the NYPD vehicle’s main brake line,” said the DOJ. “A malfunctioning anti-lock braking system adversely impacts a driver’s ability to stop and maintain control of a vehicle in an emergency.”
