(BIZPAC REVIEW) – There are career criminals and then there is shoplifter Jamel Pringle, who has just been arrested for the 168th time – this time, in Queens – after attempting to walk out of a Rite Aid store on Second Avenue with $430 worth of stolen goods.
Pringle, 39, was once again charged with petit larceny which, under New York’s new criminal justice reform law, is considered a misdemeanor and not a bail-eligible offense, according to the New York Post.
Police sources told the Post that Pringle has become a bit of a joke among New York’s finest, stating that he “gets frequent flier miles” through what has become a revolving door for thieves who are arrested and then freed on supervised release.
