Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, 21, stands trial for federal arson, accused of setting fire to 11 police vehicles in Brooklyn. He was initially released on house arrest but was re-arrested by the NYPD for a separate misdemeanor related to a protest last September. McCray is known for past criminal activities, including impersonating a student and vandalizing property at Columbia University. The arson incident caused over $800,000 in damage, according to prosecutors, as part of an effort to disrupt police during a protest. His fingerprints were reportedly found at the scene, linking him to the crime.
McCray allegedly scaled the fence of a lot used by the NYPD to store police vehicles and set them ablaze, causing over $800,000 in damages.
Prosecutors allege that McCray's actions were intended to impede police response to a protest that weekend, proving a deliberate and dangerous choice.
