And the saga of Brooklyn's favorite couple continues: 23-year-old Dan Sajewski, one-half of the duo responsible for crashing a Mercedes through a Long Island house last weekend, was briefly jailed this week for failing to complete mandated community service from a prior disorderly conduct conviction.
Sajewski, who you might remember as the gentleman who shook 96-year-old Helen Indiere's hand after girlfriend Sophia Anderson, 21, drunk-plowed his parents' Benz right through her home, was convicted of disorderly conduct in March 2009 for "yelling and screaming and behaving in a violent, tumultuous and threatening manner" while wielding a gravity knife and riding between a D train's subway cars in Harlem. He was ordered to complete three days of community service, but never completed them, and on Thursday, a judge in Brooklyn Criminal Court sentenced him to a week Rikers Island. She cited a number of open warrants and failures to show up in court for the punishment, telling him, "You obviously have no respect for the court system."
Sajewski, shockingly, is no stranger to criminal court, having been convicted of marijuana possession in Brooklyn in 2010 and for selling Ecstasy in Southhampton in 2009. He also has two cases pending in Nassau County, including a petty larceny charge from August 2009 and charges from October 2009 for marijuana possession, driving while using a cell phone and driving without a license.
No need for concern that society will be severed from Sajewski for long, however. Authorities expected him to be let out early for good behavior and time served, and inmate records show him having been released on June 1.
