Man Accused Of Trying To Stab Rep. Lee Zeldin Charged Federally After He’s Released Without Bail

Perinton, NY – A man accused of attacking U.S. Representative Lee Zeldin (R-New York) during a gubernatorial campaign stop last week was immediately released on his own recognizance due to New York’s bail reform laws, but was quickly charged federally and returned to custody.

Zeldin said he was not at all surprised to learn that the suspect, 43-year-old David Jakubonis, was released on his own recognizance after his arraignment in Perinton Town Court following the incident.

“His words as he tried to stab me a few hours ago were ‘you’re done’, but several attendees, including @EspositoforNY, quickly jumped into action & tackled the guy,” Zeldin tweeted, according to FOX News. “Law enforcement was on the scene within minutes. The attacker will likely be instantly released under NY’s laws.”

Garland must have been too busy worrying about charging Trump and overlooked this.

Watch it be rescinded.
