▀ Grand Concourse: Sobbing Woman Caught Threatening To Torch Boyfriend’s Home Reprieved By Judge Who Tells Her ‘You Can’t Continue With This’
A WOMAN WAS reduced to sobs when she appeared before a judge after violating an order of protection.
The 48-year-old woman scoffed the order that had been put into place after she had been caught last September threatening to burn down her boyfriend’s apartment.
The woman first found herself in the cops’ crosshairs on Aug. 18, when she was was busted for a domestic incident that involved menacing a person with a weapon.
Three days later, the same woman was discovered breeching the order when she was found inside the same beau’s home,
At her arraignment for criminal contempt (disobey court order of protection), the woman’s boyfriend was present in the gallery and was ordered to scram.
That caused the handcuffed woman to start breaking down in tears.
The judge expressed dismay.
"You can't continue with this,” the judge stated. “He was here. Maybe he loves you, maybe he doesn't — I don't know.”
She continued, “Whether you're a victim or a perpetrator you need counseling. It's a bad cycle.
“You are worth something and you shouldn't be in a relationship like this."
The judge saw that the crying suspect be freed with a warning to steer clear of her boyfriend’s apartment.
And if she were to return to retrieve her possessions she must do so with a police escort.
The woman’s case was referred to a domestic violence court part for educational, alternative to jail program.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Bedford-Stuyvesant: Famished Fiend Plows Into Mother’s Home, Roughs Her Up, Kicks In Police Car’s Door
A RABBLEROUSER RAVAGED a mother’s home demanding food scraps.
When she cracked her front door to offer the stranger something to eat — the deviant bumrushed through it then slapped around the selfless woman in front of her kids and swiped her valuables.
Minuted before 1:30 a.m. the perp, 28, showed up wailing like a banshee at the woman’s home located on Throop Avenue.
“I’m hungry,” he jeered.
The mother, who was with her children ages 1 and 14, fetched some grub to offer and when she offered it through the slightly ajar door — the scumbag barged into the apartment.
He then slapped her around several times and appropriated her possessions.
He then bailed.
The cops caught up and cuffed him.
But when they took him in the car to head to the 70th Precinct, the accused went berserk and kicked in the doorhandle.
He was charged for burglary (causing injury), assault, criminal trespass, criminal mischief (damage property), and acting in a manner injurious to a child along with criminal mischief.

A WHACKJOB THREATENING human existence was caught trying to burn down a public housing project.
“Everyone’s going to die,” he bellowed while gyrating his arms in tizzy towards FDNY chief who had arrived to suss out the blaze.
Sometime around 5:30 a.m. on Aug. 8, the 41-year-old firestarter was spotted setting a pile of rubbish alight inside the lobby of a public housing project on Beach Channel Drive and Beach 38th Street.
The perp continued tossing out sweet nothings to other firefighting personnel.
“N---s gonna die,” the pyro perp hollered at a fire captain.
Once they suspect was placed into custody he apparently didn’t deny the misdeeds.
“You can look at the cameras and see what I did,” he stated, the criminal complaint details. “It was just a little fire.”
And after confessing to the criminal kindling, the marauder experienced a spell of amnesia.
“I don’t really know much about last night,” he maintained. “It is what it is.
“Like I like I lit it on fire.”
The perp was nailed to the cross for arson, menacing, and reckless endangerment.
⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Heartland Village: Hammer Man Destroys Toyota Parked At Mini Mall
MAYBE HE LOST it because the liquor store wasn’t open. And bagel shops don’t offer hooch.
Something really got a man’s goat for him to think he was Thor and have him grab a hammer to smash up a car.
The 60-year-old was outside a plaza on Richmond Avenue just before 6 a.m. on Aug. 28.
Something triggered the punk because he went Defcon 1 and with a hammer and with two swings smashed both the front and back windows of a parked white 2007 Toyota.
Authorities took the miscreant into custody and charged him with criminal mischief.
