Fire breaks out in Bushwick apartment
A Brooklyn man who allegedly torched a Bushwick apartment building last month — injuring nine tenants — was cut loose without bail this week and is already terrifying folks in his old neighborhood, The Post has learned.
Even under New York State’s controversial 2019 bail reform laws, the top charge of second-degree arson against Garcia is eligible. “He’s crazy,” local resident John Palma told The Post after the fire. “All of our neighbors in that building have been complaining about the guy. Like, he’s been here for about a year and they keep calling the police and the police come pick him up and then he is just brought back.”
