Judge Marty Lentz ordered 29-year-old Juan Velez held on $50,000 cash bail or $150,000 bond, according to the DA’s office and online records.
Juan Velez, 29, was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court Monday on two counts of criminal mischief in the fourth degree – one as a hate crime – as well as one count of first-degree aggravated harassment over the Jan. 29 incident at Grace Lutheran Church.
His previous cases included one troubling incident where he dropped a glass bottle over a second-story railing at the Shops at Columbus Circle as people walked below, officials said. Velez faced 14 counts of criminal mischief and one count of reckless endangerment, but the misdemeanor charges weren’t bail eligible, a rep for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told The Post at the time.
