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.
