CHOKEHOLD VICTIM JORDAN NEELY’S UNCLE ARRESTED AGAIN ON THEFT CHARGES IN NYC

The career pickpocket uncle of slain Michael Jackson impersonator Jordan Neely
was arrested for the second time in as many weeks on Wednesday, according to
police.

Christopher Neely, 44, was booked at the NYPD’s 19th Precinct stationhouse in
Lenox Hill on multiple counts of grand larceny stemming from three separate
Manhattan heists since August last year, cops said.

Most recently, Neely snatched a designer Chanel purse valued at $15,000 from off
a woman’s chair inside a Church St. eatery between White and Walker Sts. around
8:23 p.m. on May 18, cops said.

Christopher Neely, the uncle of Jordan Neely.

He’s also accused of racking up thousands of dollars in bogus charges on stolen
credit cards, including plastic he nabbed from a woman’s purse inside an E. 82nd
St. diner between Third and Lexington Aves. at 5 p.m. on April 27, according to
police.







Detectives also connected Christopher Neely to the $8,958 in fraudulent charges
an Astor Place resident spotted on their credit card bill on Aug. 19.

Neely’s Wednesday arrest follows a May 23 run-in with law enforcement in which
an NYPD pickpocket team identified him as a suspect wanted for a string of
robberies.

with officers in an effort to evade arrest, according to police sources.

Cops have previously hit Neely with charges including rape, robbery and
burglary, although most of his two-dozen priors are theft related, cops said.





The suspect’s 30-year-old homeless nephew, Jordan Neely, was killed on an F
train in Manhattan after Marine veteran Daniel Penny, 24, placed him in a
chokehold on May 1.

Penny, who was charged with second-degree manslaughter and released on $100,000
bond, claimed in a statement that he was protecting himself and other
straphangers from the Michael Jackson impersonator.
