SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 18 – After the
prosecutors in the Eastern
District of New York had
arrested and detained three
defendants for attacks on
NYPD, on June 18 the US
Attorney for announced the
arrest of Victor A.
Sanchez-Santa "in connection
with his attempts to destroy a
police car in midtown
Manhattan.
SDNY U.S.
Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman
said in a statement, “As
alleged, the defendant
selected a clearly marked NYPD
vehicle, walked up beside it,
started a fire under the
vehicle, and fled the
scene. In allegedly
doing so, he maliciously
targeted law
enforcement. Arson is
also a threat to more than its
immediate victim, with the
potential to destroy and
terrify far beyond the place
where a fire is set. We
have the quick response of
members of the NYPD, FDNY, and
ATF to thank for controlling
the fire and identifying the
defendant so he can face the
significant charge for his
alleged crime."
The SDNY
Complaint alleged that on June
9, 2020, at approximately 1:20
am, Sanchez-Santa stopped his
car beside a marked NYPD
vehicle on West 42nd Street in
Manhattan. He got out of
his car, took a cloth glove in
his hand and held the glove to
a flame until it
ignited. He then put the
burning glove underneath the
NYPD vehicle, and got back
into his car, leaving the
glove burning beneath the
police car.
Inner City Press,
which covered all three EDNY
cases, will cover this case in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York. It is US v.
Sanchez-Santa, 20-mj-6295
(Cott).
