An uncle of Jordan Neely — the homeless man choked to death on the subway this month — was arrested near the Port Authority Bus Terminal for allegedly stealing purses from restaurants, police sources said Tuesday.

Christopher Neely, 44, had acted as something of a representative for the grieving family in the aftermath of his 30-year-old nephew’s May 1 death, frequently speaking out about the lightning-rod case.

But Neely was also allegedly wanted for a pattern of grand larceny, including the handbag thefts, according to the sources.

A member of the NYPD’s pickpocket team spotted Neely, of Hamilton Heights, at about 11 p.m. Monday near the Manhattan bus station.

He allegedly took off when the officer approached him — and fought back when cops caught up to him after a brief chase, the sources said.

Eventually, authorities cuffed him and charged him with criminal possession of stolen property, resisting arrest, bail jumping and unlawful possession of a weapon.

This really doesn't have anything to do with Jordan Neely's death apart from the fact that it's his uncle. Also I notice that the word "allegedly" is used 3 times. It's almost as if the writer of this article is somehow trying to diminish the Neely family. [/quote]

That's not what allegedly means.  It doesn't diminish the subject, it is intended to protect them (and the writer).

And yes, this does have something to do with this thread, unfortunately.[/quote]
