HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL VANDAL HAD CHELSEA CASE
A Roxbury man faced arraignment Wednesday in connection with vandalizing the New England Holocaust Memorial in downtown Boston following an argument.
James E. Isaac, 21, was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on charges of malicious destruction of property over $250 and willful damage to a church, synagogue, or memorial. Assistant District Attorney Anthony Rizzo requested bail be set at $15,000 and that Isaac’s bail be revoked in an unrelated assault and battery case pending in Chelsea District Court. Judge Sally Kelly set bail at $750 and revoked Isaac’s open bail.
According to Rizzo’s account to the court, Isaac became involved in a verbal altercation with a group of individuals on Union Street shortly before 2 a.m. after the group did not provide him with the time when asked. A witness saw the man pick up an object and throw it at the Holocaust Memorial, breaking one of the monument’s glass panels. The witness contacted Boston Police and provided a description of the offender and direction of travel.
Isaac allegedly pursued the individuals he had confronted to the Congress Street area, where he and a woman with him were stopped by police. A witness positively identified him.
At the time of his arrest, Isaac was wearing a GPS monitoring device as a condition of his release in the Chelsea case, according to prosecutors.
Isaac is scheduled to return to Boston Municipal Court on July 18.
