Fire felony
A fire was allegedly intentionally started at an apartment at 3 Horatio St. early last Friday morning. At around 4 a.m. on May 20, fire marshals responded to an incendiary fire at a building of six occupied units, according to a police report. Three victims were sleeping in the building prior to the incident. A canvass was conducted and the police located the man who allegedly started the fire.
Henry Hodges, 52, was arrested for felony arson. Police did not provide a motive for the incident.
Boat-robbery bust
A large amount of money was stolen from Hornblower Cruises and Events, the party boat company, at 353 West St. at W. Houston St. on Wed., May 18. At 4 a.m., a man unlawfully entered the commercial building and removed more than $23,000 from an unlocked safe, police said. The man was apprehended at the scene. A similar incident happened at this location in June 2015.
Police arrested Daquan Wilson, 27 for felony burglary.
Very Incensed Patron
A reveler at Up & Down nightclub at 244 W. 14th St. could not handle being barred from the V.I.P. section. On Fri., May 20, at around 2 a.m., a bouncer told a man multiple times that he could not enter a fenced-off location, police said. The man then pushed the bouncer and was placed under arrest.
As the officers were arresting the pushy patron, he reportedly resisted by flailing his arms and tensing up so he could not be handcuffed. He then spit on the officers multiple times while being transported in a police car. He repeatedly kicked the rear passenger door of the vehicle, causing damages to the doorjamb and door valued at roughly $350.
Lawrence J. Haynes, 27, was arrested for felony criminal mischief.
Prescription for arrest
A man tried to purchase prescription medication from the CVS at 20 University Place using an official New York State prescription form, but it was not legit, police said. At 2 p.m. on Tues., May 17, the store’s pharmacist alerted police that he witnessed a man using a prescription form from a medical practice but that it did not look kosher. The doctor from the practice, in turn, stated that he did not prescribe the medication to the man and that the signature on the piece of paper was not his.
The suspect who tried to buy the medication was arrested for felony criminal possession of a forged instrument.
Now urine trouble
A police officer observed a man urinating on the sidewalk in front of 62 Greenwich Ave. early Thursday morning, and was then threatened by the alleged urinator, police said. On May 19 at 1:30 a.m., the cop attempted to issue a summons but the man began engaging in threatening behavior.
The man then followed the officer closely, less than a foot away, even after the officer repeatedly told him to stand back. The pissed-off alleged pee’er then pushed the officer’s chest and physically resisted arrest by tensing his arms and refusing to place his hands behind his back.
Kristian Nivar, 30, was arrested for misdemeanor resisting arrest.
