According to a police officer, Jordan Neely had been arrested 42 times by the NYPD. Most the arrests were for petty offenses, such as loitering and trespassing; however, three of the arrests were for unprovoked assaults on women in the NYC subway, and one was for assaulting a 68-year-old man on a subway platform in 2019. Other arrests, in 2020 and 2021, included those for criminal contempt, after violating a restraining order, and public lewdness, for exposing himself to a female stranger. Neely pled guilty in 2015 to endangering the welfare of a child after dragging a 7-year-old girl down a street; he was sentenced to four months in jail.
At the time of his death, he was subject to a 15-month alternative to incarceration program after pleading guilty in February 2023 to felony assault of a 67-year-old woman, whom he had punched as she exited a train station in November 2021, breaking her nose and fracturing an orbital bone. Under the terms of the program, Neely was to live in a treatment facility in the Bronx. He had a warrant issued for his arrest after he missed a court date to update a judge on his progress and abandoned the treatment facility 13 days after he started the program.
