Teen Football Star Is Jailed



An East Hampton teenager spent six days in county jail last week after being arrested on a felony charge of criminal mischief.

Jordan A. Johnson, 17, a star player on East Hampton High School’s football team this past season, was charged by East Hampton Town police with the destruction of property. Under state law, if the charge is a felony, a minor’s identity is not cloaked, as it would be for a less serious offense.

Jordan, who was arrested on Jan. 26, allegedly became enraged when he could not use his mother’s car to go to school to take a test.

A Montauk teen left her mother’s 2010 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck parked at a friend’s house off Pantigo Road Friday night as she joined a group of youths out for the evening. In the morning, the truck would not start. It was discovered that someone had poured Cascade dishwashing detergent into the gas tank. The truck was towed to Marshall and Sons Service Station in Montauk. Repairs will cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000.
