The burglar, who was given the nickname after a resident said he encountered a nunchuck-wielding intruder in his Dongan Hills home, was responsible for more than a dozen break-ins in 2007 and 2008, the New York Daily News reported.
Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon was expected to release more details about the arrest during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
