The Blotter.* A roundup of happenings in Gotham’s mean streets (and from time to time the tri-state region). Each item provides a staticky glimpse into the sleepless city’s peripheral misdemeanors, felonies, and misadventures.

⬛ MANHATTAN

Alphabet City: Tagger’s ConEd Substation Screed Notches First Collar

A PIECER WAS picked up for adding his signature tag to an already bombed brick wall. 

A 32-year-old notched his first bust after he was caught back at around 10:15 p.m. on Nov. 19. 

The Brooklynite was witnessed painting “CASE” on the Consolidated Edison brick substation building located on Avenue A and East 6th Street.  

The suspect spraypainted the tag using blue, red, and black hues. 

The expressive vandal was taken into custody and minted his first misdemeanor for making graffiti, criminal mischief, and possession of a graffiti instrument.

⬛ THE BRONX

University Heights: Dirtbag Urinates In Laundromat 

THE MESS CALLED for gallons of bleach to sterilize his stain. 

A 35-year-old creton stomped into the Laundromat Wash located on University Avenue near West 179th Street at around 5 p.m. on Oct. 8 and treated it like a latrine. 

The unclean and incontinent creton allegedly dropped his pants in front of families (including young kids) all waiting on their washes to complete or folding their clean clothes. 

Each had to suffer as perp “pulled out his penis, and urinated on the floor,” according to the criminal complaint.

Police were called to serve as decency detectives and nailed the disgusting suspect for public lewdness.

⬛ BROOKLYN

Greenpoint / Brooklyn Heights: ‘I Gotta Hit On You And Your Family!’: Pugilist Vows To Harm Or Slay 2 Innocents 

SHE WASN’T HIDING her homicidal intentions. 

A 27-year-old racked up three separate raps for raising Cain against two people apparently on her shit list. 

Authorities say she and another unapprehended crime partner hurled death threats over three phone calls placed on Sept. 24 and Sept 26. 

‘I got a hit on you and your family.’ -cruel caller

The first victim was living on Clay Street near Manhattan Avenue. She answered her phone at around 6:30 p.m. and quickly became terrified. 

“I’m going to put you six feet under,” the menace allegedly gabbed. “I'm going to kill you.”

They hung up. 

But the same suspect rang again 10 minutes later. 

This time she spun a wild yarn: she claimed to have hired a family hitman to do her murderous bidding. 

“My brother is gonna kill you,” the woman said. “I got a hit on you and your family.”

For two days, the suspect laid low. 

But she would return to doom dial again.

It was minutes after 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 26 when she allegedly called another person living on Atlantic Avenue near Hicks Street.

While her tone softened from kill, kill, kill, she was raring for a duel.

“Come outside,” the accused allegedly said. “I’ll send you my address. 

“I’m going to be at you up. I wanna fight. I’m gonna hurt you.”

Investigators tasked with tracking the mobile troublemaker finally cracked the case and on Nov. 5 they booked the suspect on five counts of aggravated harassment threat, threat by phone, to harass and annoy, and harassment physical contact.

She’s defending against the accusations and must reappear in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Jan. 26.

⬛ QUEENS

Laurelton: Mobile Shop Clerk Spooked Colleagues By Waving Ganked Glock Around

A PHONE SELLER thought himself a no-mess gunslinger.

Shortly after 6 p.m. on Nov. 18, workers at the Total Wireless store on 230 Street off Merrick Boulevard were winding down for the day.

But a 68-year-old clerk was shifting into outlaw mode.

He wasn’t about to Windex the displays or count out the till. He apparently decided it was time to show off his purportedly hot piece.

So that’s what he did.

To his co-workers dismay, the perp took out the iron and “waved” it about, according to the criminal complaint.

The worker then rested the weapon, described in the papers as a stolen black Glock 21 .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, on the counter for all to see… and gasp at.

Nobody was admiring the maneuvers.

Cops were called and the worker was cuffed and brought up on grand larceny, weapons possession, and menacing.

When reached by the Blotter, a shop staffer confirmed the details, adding, “I heard about that, yeah.”

⬛ STATEN ISLAND

Arrochar: Geezer Canes Older Geezer

IT WAS THE thrilla in the New Broadview Manor. 

A 73-year-old was having a cow over something or other (maybe the Lipton was too tepid) and took his misgivings out on another elder. 

It was at around 2:15 p.m. on Oct. 1, when the geriatric lost his cool while inside of the senior home located on Father Capodanno Boulevard and Ocean Avenue. 

At one point, tempers flared up like a mean case of the shingles.

The suspect allegedly gripped a cane and went to work on a person over a decade older in age. 

He whacked the person several times on the ‘ol noggin. 

The caning caused the old-time to suffer cuts and bleed all over his head. 

Cops arrived and brought the attacker into custody. 

He is facing assault, weapons, and harassment charges.

⬛ ET. AL

▀ Vanilla Sky High (TK, NY)

AN URBAN EXPLORER lights a fatty joint while peering over his humble white sneakers to possibly over 1,000-feet below at a nearly denizen-less night (or more likely early morning) in Times Square. The pan around verifies the locale and yet the herbal exhaust out the fotag’s begs one to wonder how he braved it back closer to sea level unscathed.

Moreover, the reported items are merely a snapshot of a criminal matter – what is known at the time of publishing. In most cases, the persons arrested for breaking the law haven’t been convicted (yet). It’s also possible that the charges brought against them may be reduced or even withdrawn.
