On February 16, 2012, Jonathan Rothschild wrecked his city vehicle, a 2008 Toyota Prius, when he collided into a passenger truck. Rothschild stated that he "looked down briefly to grab a notebook on the seat next to him and didn’t see the passenger truck in front of him." No citations were issued.
On February 18, 2017, Jonathan Rothschild was carjacked at gunpoint. The carjacker drove away in his city-owned Toyota Prius. Rothschild said that he had just left his home and was walking to his city owned vehicle when a man approached him, pointed a gun at him, and demanded his keys.
No one was hurt and the Toyota Prius was found a short time later.
