Penny has turned himself in.
According to a report from The New York Post, Ex-Marine Daniel Penny surrendered at the 5th Precinct in lower Manhattan just after 8 a.m. Penny will face charges of second-degree manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely.
From The New York Post:
Penny turned himself in less than 24 hours after the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office revealed it would pursue charges against Penny.
Speaking outside the precinct, Penny’s lawyer, Thomas Kenniff, said he surrendered “voluntarily” and with “dignity.”
“This morning, Daniel Penny surrendered at the 5th Precinct at the request of the New York County District Attorney’s office. He did so voluntarily and with the sort of dignity and integrity that is characteristic of his history of service to this grateful nation,” Kenniff, founding partner of Raiser & Kenniff, told reporters.
Kenniff said he expects his client to be arraigned Friday afternoon. He did not take any questions from reporters.
