EXCLUSIVE: Thrown back on the streets in Mayor de Blasio's New York: Mentally ill homeless arsonist, 49, who set fire to Fox News tree is released from custody - one day after being arrested on no-bail charges
Craig Tamanaha, 49, was taken into custody in Times Square on Wednesday morning at around 12.15am
He climbed the Fox News Christmas tree and set fire to it with a lighter then tried to run away but was caught
He has a prior record for flashing and drugs possession and his father has described him as mentally ill
He was charged with six misdemeanors for the Times Square stunt - but walked because all were misdemeanors
Tamanaha was spotted on Thursday sitting outside a Starbucks in lower Manhattan
He told police that he had been thinking about setting the tree on fire 'all day' on Tuesday before he did it
His prior arrests include flashing and drugs possession; he has a criminal record in Texas too
Outgoing NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio is notoriously soft on crime and on bail reforms
It has led to a number of criminals being released on low-bond or no-bond and then breaking the law again
