Manhattan DA Declines to Prosecute Alleged St. Patrick’s Cathedral Vanda
The Manhattan District Attorney’s office will not prosecute a suspect arrested Saturday for allegedly vandalizing St. Patrick’s Cathedral on May 30.
Police had initially charged 26-year-old Yadir Avila Rosas with criminal mischief in the third degree and making graffiti on the church, according to the New York Post.
Rosas was also the alleged getaway driver for two female suspects who tagged the famous church with spray-painted expletives and messages such as “No Justice No Peace” and “BLM.”
Police are still searching for the two women.
Although Rosas’ arraignment did not take place, the matter will remain under investigation, a spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance told the New York Daily News.
Friday, Vance announced that under a new policy, the office “declines to prosecute these arrests in the interest of justice.”
