These are not the first two times a U.S. Supreme Court Justice was the victim of a crime. Former Supreme Court Justice David Souter was the victim of minor injuries in 2004 when he was mugged while jogging by himself near his home in Washington. He was attacked by a group of young males.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the victim of a purse snatching in 1996 when she was walking home with her husband and her daughter. The family was returning from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to their residence at the Watergate apartment complex. No one in the family was injured during the incident.
