JAILED: "I WAS ARRESTED FOR WEARING A YANKEES JACKET.' WABC-TV report

• MAN MISTAKENLY JAILED FOR A WEEK WITH HARDENED CRIMINALS AT RIKERS:
• From WABC TV webiste: "Also at 11, he says he was arrested simply for wearing a Yankees jacket.

• And because he kinda sorta matched the description of someone who had robbed a teenager at knifepoint, 35-year-old Benjamin Soto of Staten Island spent a week in Rikers Island, suspected of robbery.

The charges were quietly dropped,

• but Soto is not quietly dropping the incident. Understandably."
