FOX News, CBS6 in Albany and Mid-Hudson News each reported early this morning that Jamont McClendon, one of two suspects wanted in connection with the break-in at City Hall two weekends ago, was arrested at a State Street apartment.
The building where McClendon was reportedly arrested is a 15-unit apartment complex at 229B State Street. County Assessment records indicate that 227-235 State Street is owned by Housing Resources. Lieutenant Paolino, who had predicted the HPD would “find them” within Hudson’s 2.17 mile area, has had half of his prediction proven correct.
According to Fox, “Police say [he] resisted arrested when officers showed up at the apartment.” The other suspect, Quintin Cross, remains at large.
McClendon, who has had many brushes with the law in the past few years, has remained active on Facebook since the time the Hudson Police Department sent out its Wanted Persons bulletin—posting new pictures and comments as “JaySun DaGreat.” At least one of those posts pointed to someone with whom he’d had a recent phone conversation. Cross (or someone using his account) has also been spotted online, but has taken his Facebook page down twice since disappearing shortly after his initial questioning by the HPD.
