A Great Neck man was arrested twice this week and charged with a slew of crimes, engaging in a standoff with police during his first arrest Friday.
Nassau County Police reported an investigation into property damage on Somerset Drive in Lake Succes Friday afternoon.
Detectives responded to a home on the street and said they observed Mitchell Levy, 36, closing window blinds and “aggressively moving throughout the house.”
Police said Levy aimed what they believed to be a black rifle at detectives who then took positions of cover and concealment.
A black pellet rifle was found in the home after the incident, police said.
Police entered the home and arrested Levy, who was then taken to a local hospital for evaluations.
News12 reported that Levy had used the rifle to fire through the windows of his neighbors’ homes and damaged property. The University Gardens community was under lockdown for hours before his arrest, and no injuries were reported.
Levy was arrested on Friday and was charged with 11 criminal counts.
His charges include criminal mischief, criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment, petit larceny and menacing a police officer. He pleaded not guilty to all charges at his Saturday arraignment.
Levy was released on bail with non-monetary conditions.
Levy was arrested again on Sunday, where he was charged with five criminal counts. This included criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, unlawful imprisonment and menacing with a weapon and without. He pleaded not guilty to all counts at his Monday arraignment.
Police did not release details of his Sunday arrest.
His bail was set Monday at $50,000 cash, $100,000 insured bond or $500,000 partially secured surety bond.
Levy is due back in court Jan. 30.
