Axe Guy Arrested

Known offender it seems, and he got scooped up quick:

  • A man is now in custody, accused of taking an axe to firefighters’ vehicles across Chicago, with police effectively extinguishing a bizarre crime spree on the same Chinatown block where it began.

    CPD said officers arrested 26-year-old Jacob Bogdan on Saturday in the 200 block of West Cermak Road, home to a CFD firehouse that was prominently featured in the 1991 Hollywood movie Backdraft. The arrest came hours after detectives issued a public alert about the string of attacks.

    Bogdan, now charged with 21 felony counts of criminal damage to property, is scheduled to appear for a detention hearing on Sunday.

How did the detention hearing turn out? It's property damage, so it's a good bet he's another SAFE-T Act success story.

Did he at least have to surrender all his axes?
