Christopher Loeb, the man who brought down imprisoned former Suffolk Police Chief James Burke, has been arrested on charges he broke into a car, stole a purse and credit cards and then stole his mothers car, police said Tuesday.
Loeb, 31, of Hearthside Drive in Mount Sinai, is facing charges of fourth-degree grand larceny, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, possession of a hypodermic instrument and unauthorized use of a vehicle, said Assistant Commissioner Justin Meyers.
Hes set to be arraigned on the charges in First District Court in Central Islip Tuesday afternoon.
Harry Tillis, a Bohemia attorney who is representing Loeb at his arraignment, referred all questions to Loebs longtime lawyer Bruce Barket. Barket did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
Loeb was discharged from the John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson at 4:45 p.m. Nov. 4 and broke into an unlocked car and stole a pocketbook with cash and credit cards inside, Meyers said.
Later that night, Meyers said, Loebs mother reported her car stolen.
She specifically said he took her vehicle without permission, Meyers said.
He was arrested on Nov. 6 at his home after his mother called police to say he was there, Meyer said. Loeb was in possession of his mothers vehicle, six credit cards and a hypodermic needle, Meyers said.
