"Delano Hill, 20, of Suwanee, GA, was indicted on charges including attempted criminal possession of a chemical or biological weapon, placing a false bomb or hazardous substance, and falsely reporting an incident, the Manhattan District Attorney's office said. According to the DA, Hill allegedly placed a plastic bottle at the entrance of the NYPD's 6th Precinct at 233 West 10th St. in Greenwich Village on Dec. 19, 2024, accompanied by a note claiming the bottle contained chlorine gas."
"We have no tolerance for anyone who threatens or puts members of law enforcement in harm's way. The defendant's actions against the NYPD are unacceptable, and we will continue to pursue accountability in this matter, said DA Bragg in a statement announcing Hill's indictment. I want to thank the NYPD and our law enforcement partners in Georgia for an outstanding and collaborative investigation that has led to significant charges in both states."
Delano Hill, 20, of Suwanee, Georgia, was indicted in New York on charges including attempted criminal possession of a chemical or biological weapon, placing a false bomb or hazardous substance, and falsely reporting an incident. Authorities say Hill placed a plastic bottle at the entrance of the NYPD's 6th Precinct in Greenwich Village on Dec. 19, 2024, with a note claiming it contained chlorine gas and referencing a stabbing in Suwanee and a potential second device at Yeager International Airport. Testing found vinegar and bleach that can produce chlorine gas at non-toxic levels. NYPD notification to Georgia investigators produced a lead in a 2022 unsolved homicide involving 44-year-old Matthew Jones.
