A 21-year-old New Jersey man, Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, has surrendered to authorities after allegedly setting fire to ten New York City Police Department vehicles and a police trailer in Brooklyn. The incident occurred just before planned protests in June, with investigators identifying McCray through forensic and video evidence. The damage is estimated to exceed $800,000, and prosecutors argue that the arson endangered both police officers and the public. McCray, who has a history of arrests related to demonstrations, faces federal arson charges and is being held as a potential danger to the community and a flight risk.
