⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Nolita: Granny Beats 2 Year Old Theft Rap
SHE WON A criminal’s version of bingo.
The lucky elder had been picked up on Oct. 20.
Why?
Turns out the woman had been ducking the law for a thievery bust dating back to New Year’s Eve in 2023.
After the 72-year-old woman was hauled into court on Nov. 4, she was able to put on an Academy Award performance (think “Driving Miss Daisy” meets Grand Theft Auto and then cueing waterworks) in order to win over the judge.
It worked.
Because she was cut a sweetheart deal.
All she has to do is pay $50 in court fees and keep her nose clean for a year — and her rap for grand larceny and petit larceny will be expunged.
Sure hope Ms. Shamrock plays the lottery in her newfound freedom.
⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Mt. Eden: Woman Set Trash And Tree Alight At Same Spot, Twice In 3 Days
A FIRESTARTER WAS overcome with discontent with her first blaze.
So she kindled another.
The 39-year-old allegedly targeted a pile of refuse sitting out front of a home on Inwood Avenue at around 3 a.m. on Sept. 22.
It was there that authorities say the suspect was seen on CCTV strutting up to a stack of full trash bags intended to be picked up by Sanitation, and with a torch — caused them to go up in flames. The flames also engulfed a tree nearby.
Three days later at around 1:30 a.m. the same woman allegedly returned.
And again, authorities say the woman used a lighter to set fire to another pile of trash bags.
Both fires were smothered by firefighters.
But the suspect couldn’t try again because she was taken down for
attempted arson, reckless endangerment.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Crown Heights: Armed Felon Barges Into Home, Ragdolls Woman And Threatens To Shoot If She Says ‘Something Wrong To Police!’
A BAD SEED stormed into a woman’s home and knocked around a woman and threatened to unload bullets if she squealed to the cops.
Just past 11 p.m. on Oct. 4, the 28-year-old showed up at the woman’s apartment located on Bergen Street off Rogers Avenue, according to the criminal complaint.
‘[I] will let rounds out if you open the door or say something wrong to the police.’
He pulled a Taurus pistol and started slapping the woman around the place and then grabbed hold of her and starting choking her out.
At one point he made clear his bad intentions and refused to let her get away.
He told her, “[I] will let rounds out if you open the door or say something wrong to the police.”
Cops were able to intervene and nab the woman’s abusing kidnapper.
They determined the perp (who had been convicted in 2019) was indeed carrying the gun and also a stash of Molly.
He was taken down for strangulation, drugs possession, burglary with a firearm, criminal possession of a loaded firearm, assault, menacing, and unlawful imprisonment.
⬛ QUEENS
▀ Flushing: ‘What Are You Looking At?’: Woman’s Road Rage Freakout Ends With BMW Bumper Stabbing
SHE GASHED A man and then plunged a knife into a woman’s beamer bumper.
A 39-year-old woman went ballistic at a driver.
Whatever set her off, there is CCTV footage depicting the suspect driving a red Honda Civic.
She’s seen squabbling with a driver of a white BMW on the night of Sept. 23.
Authorities say the woman exits her Civic and starts striking the front door and rear side windows — shattering them both.
At around 11:45 a.m. the next day the same woman appeared to go after another target on her 53rd Avenue home porch.
And this time she was toting a black knife.
When she spotted the mad woman at her domicile — she was forced to duck and cover as she darted at her belting, “What are you looking at?”
With the blade she used it to slice her road rival’s temple and ear.
Hours later, just before 9:30 p.m. the woman allegedly came back for more.
She started making a ruckus outside and when the she looked out she discovered a kitchen knife protruding out of the BMW’s bumper.
For these antics, the suspect was hauled away and slapped with attempted murder, attempted assault, assault, criminal mischief, weapons possession, and criminal contempt.
⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Dongan Hills: Brute Hurls Anti-Islam Hate Speak At Man At Mini Mall
A NUTJOB LOADED with bigoted bile went to town on a man outside a hardware sore.
The 31-year-old was outside a strip mall on Hylan Boulevard back on the morning of Oct. 10.
‘Next time it’s gonna be just like your friend; he got pushed so hard that he went fucking flying.’
Authorities say the suspect set his focus on a man standing outside DARCO For Home Goods & Kitchenware.
“Piece of shit, why don’t you marry a little girl like
your prophet,” he started off. “I already got his worker arrested, go back to your country!”
He continued to undermine the man’s faith: “What are you Sunni or Shia — I know about all of you guys.
“How’s [sic] the IRS doing, IRS doing good with you, I know more about you than you fucking know, that’s why you have to open up this piece of shit.”
The suspect kept going on about the victim’s specific beliefs and noted that he was “peaceful” until “you laid here.”
He further blamed the man for coming to Staten Island to “fucking conquer this place.”
Then he threatened violence.
“Next time it’s gonna be just like your friend; he got pushed so hard that he went fucking flying.”
He added, You lay here again and that’s gonna be you.”
The verbal assaults were enough to punch his ticket to a prison cell for aggravated harassment involving race or religion.
