THE IRIE WAS wafting everywhere. 

A 41-year-old man was cavalierly puffing the magic dragon with a pal inside a car parked outside Audubon Avenue and West 177th Street back on the evening of Jan. 2. 

The suspect was enjoying his backseat sesh with the driver to allegedly entreat herb connoisseurs who have a nose for the kind buds. 

But the smokeout also attracted bloodhound cops who took a closer look in the ride and spotted a large sack of the devil’s lettuce next to the night tripper.  

They ordered both burnouts out of the car and collected the sack and confirmed it was full of flower. 

They apparently protested that possessing the nuggs was legal. Only once it was weighed at 1 pound 9 ounces — well over the 3 ounce legal personal use threshold. 

The car owner was dragged for possession of the sticky-icky (more than 16 ounces). He was gonna face unlicensed general vending, but that charge was later tossed.

IT WAS HER personal gold rush. 

A 23-year-old ghoulish gal apparently was dead set on making another woman’s jewelry hers. 

While walking on Story Avenue near Pugsley Avenue back at around 6:45 p.m. on New Year’s Day, a woman holding a small box of earrings was challenged by the rogue and she allegedly went for hard words, according to the criminal complaint. 

They traded verbal shots and then the fashion fleecer went for the fisticuffs. 

She allegedly snatched the box with the earrings from the victim’s hand. 

The perp then threw and landed a haymaker sending the woman down for the count and causing her lip to split and tooth to loosen.

Authorities reeled the woman rumbler in and brought up on assault, petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, and harassment.

A BLOOD FEUD between two warring neighbors turned especially gory. 

A 33-year-old man was jawing with his 34-year-old neighbor over some unsettling tittletattle. 

They locked horns in front of their homes located on East 46th Street near Rutland Road just before 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 23.

Authorities say the younger resident grabbed hold of the cohabitant and with a scissors jabbed him multiple times in his left arm. 

The attack caused the man to gush blood and had to be rushed to Interfaith Hospital where he was patched up and recovered. 

Cops took into custody the scissor stabber and rung him up on assault, menacing with a weapon, and criminal possession of a weapon.

HE’S NOT BASHFUL about his lowlights. 

A 31-year-old glutton allegedly targeted a woman in the subway station and after pummeling her — took off with her purse. 

At around 9 p.m. on Nov. 24 , the suspect shadowed a woman as she was entering the 36th Street station where the M and R trains circulate. 

The brute, clad in shorts and a maroon jacket, allegedly kicked the straphanger to the ground and kept stomping on her. 

As she was ailing from the sole blows, the goon lifted her purse off her body and booked it. 

Investigators persisted to nab the suspect. 

And on Dec. 5, they finally hauled him into the precinct. 

The suspect was feted to some video stills of his footwork captured on surveillance cameras. 

And he allegedly wasn’t bashful about what he did, telling them, “That’s me.”

Authorities took him to school for robbery (causing physical injury), assault, and grand larceny from a person.

FOR ONE SUSPECTED crack fiend it was a fire sale at TJ Maxx. 

The 49-year-old with a hankering for chasing the white ghost was back to being fitted with bracelets and a jumpsuit. 

The suspect was back at his second favorite hobby – heisting. 

At around 5 p.m. on Jan. 7, when he allegedly entered the bourgeoisie-on-a-budget store located on Hyland Boulevard. 

He allegedly swiped a hat, a pair of women’s shoes, and a pair of Nike Dunk kicks. 

The merch he hoarded that day totaled $177. 

But rather than pay up like the rest of us proletariat suckers — the suspect decided to skip the point of sale and head straight for the sliding doors.  

The suspected freeloader took off from there. But officers were quick to track his whereabouts before he could savor the pirated bounty. 

He was formally slapped with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

The recent brush with the law was another tarred feather in the suspect’s longstanding swing-and-miss past. 

Five times in the past two years the perp keeps finding himself trying to wiggle out of wrongdoing.

On April 24 of last year the suspect racked up nearly double digts worth of petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.  

On Feb. 11 that same year, the suspect was pinched for dodging subway fare and also possessing crack. 

Before that it was more of the troubled same…
