The Burlington County man under criminal investigation with his girlfriend following their well-publicized GoFundMe effort for homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt Jr. was arrested late Monday on an outstanding warrant, police said Tuesday.

Florence Township police said in a statement early Tuesday that they arrested Mark D'Amico, 39, at his township home Monday around 9:30 p.m.

Later Tuesday, Burlington City police issued a statement, since their town's court issued the warrant stemming from a traffic stop.

The department said they initially stopped D'Amico on Oct. 25, 2017 for a non-moving violation - a broken tail light. Police detained D'Amico for potentially having a warrant for his arrest, but he supplied the necessary documentation and was released at the scene.

He was, however, issued summons for driving with a suspended license, failure to surrender his driver's license after suspension, and failing to maintain his lamps, Burlington City police said.

Police said D'Amico did not show in court, a warrant was issued for his arrest and he was arrested in May of this year, and he posted $500 cash bail. He did not show again in court, so another arrest warrant was issued on July 2.

D'Amico was arrested on that warrant Monday night, Burlington City police said. His new court date is Sept. 18.

He was taken to the Burlington County Jail in lieu of the cash bail again Monday night - his bail was listed as $500.01 - but he posted bail sometime Tuesday,

D'Amico and his girlfriend Kate McClure became the subject of national news last fall after they started a GoFundMe account for Bobbitt, who helped McClure when her car ran out of gas along Interstate 95 in Philadelphia.

The couple had hoped to raise $10,000, but the story spread nationally and quickly brought in more than $400,000.

The positive publicity ended last month, when Bobbitt filed a lawsuit alleging the couple had withheld hundreds of thousands of dollars from him.

McClure and D'Amico last week failed to appear for their second straight hearing in the civil case. The couple's lawyer told a Superior Court judge they wanted to invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, but the judge denied the request.

The next day, the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office served a search warrant on the couple's home as part of what authorities described as a criminal investigation into the matter.

The couple's attorney, Ernest Badway, on Friday told Judge Paula Dow, a former state attorney general, he would no longer be able to represent D'Amico and McClure in the civil case because they were likely to be indicted on criminal charges.
