SHE WASN’T TAKING shitake from no one. 

A 34-year-old regaled at Nobu 57 back on the late evening of April 5. 

The party of one might as well have been gorging for three given the damage she wrought at the upper crust joint known for its five star sushi fare. 

For when the woman was given the $241 bill, she allegedly tried ducking out the door without doling out a cent. 

One employee, 27, made a last ditch effort to convince the woman to pay it, she decked him to the ground. 

His co-worker, 64, also tried intervening and he too was given the gal’s fist business. 

Cops were summoned and arrived swiftly. Fast enough to bring the welshing pugilist into custody. She was taken away and arraigned on the charges of failure to pay based on stealth, assault, and harassment.

It’s not hard to run up a bill at the hot eatery, where a baby spinach salad with dry miso and lobster fetches $72 and a lychee martini will set you back $22, according to the online menu. 

Hope it was worth it, given the closest thing at the jail commissary are three flavors of ramen: chili, chicken or beef.

IT’S BEEN A six year horror show for one family. 

Since 2020, a mother-in-law has apparently made it her mission to dog the family. 

The 35-year-old was a fixture from afar. And also up close and way too personal. 

She would make repeated and unannounced visits to the father and mother’s homes (located in both Fordham and University Heights)

While at each she often was tripping balls and trail the parents but also the kids’ comings and goings. 

Recently in the past months, the estranged mother-in-law would erupt in screaming fits — causing the kids to be especially perturbed. 

The woman recently showed up at the father’s home on Davidson Avenue and banged on the door. 

At one point she even slammed shut the front door so hard “not longer can close”, the criminal complaint states. 

WHat’s more, the same deranged woman trailed the young girl to her school on Andrews Avenue North and stepped on campus, despite being told several times by the principal that she was banned. 

When cops finally introduced cuffs to the woman, she allegedly put up a fight and resisted. 

All this is to say the woman’s antics (combined with the drug use) ended with her saddled with a sobering dose of charges including menacing, stalking, and harassment.

A WANTON MADWOMAN on wheels almost killed a man twice with her car. 

The 36-year-old allegedly had it out for a man back on the early evening of Jan. 10. 

Authorities say the motorist was driving along West 16th Street near Surf Avenue when she had a fix on the innocent man. 

The driver allegedly hit the gas “in an attempt to strike him,” the criminal complaint reads. 

Thirty minutes later, as the woman’s target was counting his blessings for dodging death — she allegedly tried another attempt on his life. 

He was pacing along Neptune Avenue and Ocean Parkway when authorities say the woman “accelerated” her car and tried to “strike” the man. 

Both times she missed. 

But prosecutors were precise with the NYC penal code. 

She was brought down for attempted murder (depraved indifference), assault with a weapon (motor vehicle), harassment, and reckless driving.

She was arraigned on the charges on April 3, pleaded not guilty and was ordered held on $100,000k bail.

Over 4 million people have had the same lightbulb moment.

FOUR GOONS ON motorbikes muscled a man out of cash. 

The suspects, all riding mopeds — one driven by a man with a gal riding passenger while two other young men were on the second — ambushed a man as he was walking under the elevated train on Northern Boulevard and 40th Road at the predawn hours of Nov. 24. 

The woman passenger hopped off the first bike and with a baseball bat whacked the man’s arm. 

Hard. 

Grimacing from the blow — the male passenger with a distinct gold tooth hopped off the other bike and quickly imposed his will on the fallen man wincing in pain. 

“Give me the money,” he hissed one of the perps with a distinct gold tooth, according to the criminal complaint. 

The victim complied. 

He handed over $150. 

Months later, authorities pinned a 34-year-old to the violent mugging as one of the drivers of the mopeds.

Prosecutors charged him with robbery (with a dangerous instrument) assault and grand larceny from a person. 

His crime partners remain outstanding. 

HE’S NO LONGER armed to the hilt. 

A 39-year-old was busted after cops raided his basement home and disarmed him of all his weapons. 

The uninvited cops showed up at the man’s home on Rathburn Avenue back at around 8 p.m. on Feb. 12. 

They collected all sorts of guns and ammo. 

Specifically, from the living room they bagged a .380 caliber Girsan Model MC14 BDA pistol, a round of .380 caliber ammunition and 13 rounds in the magazine. 

In the top drawer of the suspect’s nightstand officers collected a 9mm Glock standard magazine with eight rounds, a Glock extended magazine with 31 rounds. 

They also found on the bottom shelf of the nightstand 28 rounds of .38 special ammo and an empty Glock extended magazine at the foot of the bed in his bedroom. 

The suspect was charged with criminal weapons and ammunition possession charges.

“He's got my back and I got his" the newly promoted NYPD Detective Kyle McLaughlin mused following a promotion ceremony at police HQ.

McLaughlin was referencing his four-legged crime fighting partner "Kelly" — a six year hoofing vet of the NYPD Mounted Unit.

The duo made headlines on April 15, chasing down a female purse snatcher along West 72nd Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

The pair were trotting on their way to Central Park to patrol when they were flagged down by bystanders who had witnessed a the thievery.

The heart-pounding chase and subsequent apprehension of the female suspect caught in the act was captured on McLaughlin's bodycam.

Kelly has a story of his own. 

He is named after Police Officer John Kelly, a member of the NYPD's Auto Larceny Squad who was killed in the line of duty in Staten Island when he lost control of his unmarked car and struck a utility pole while pursuing a motorcycle for a red light violation.

Officer Kelly, 31, had served nine years with the NYPD. He was posthumously awarded the NYPD Medal of Honor.

A former racing thorughbred, "Kelly" was spared from slaughter by the NYPD and was pressed into service back in 2020.

The 23 year old steed bears the badge number 20-05, signifying the fifth horse purchased by the NYPD that year. 

"He's one of the smallest horses in the unit but he's got the biggest heart," McLaughlin doted. "He's a mush with everyone but at the end of the day, don't challenge him because he will step up to the plate."

McLaughlin is a 13 year veteran of the NYPD, has served with the NYPD's Mounted Unit since August 2020. This was his first pursuit and apprehension on horseback, he said.

After capturing suspect, Felicia Field, 44, (believed to be homeless) — she was charged with grand larceny and false impersonation for providing cops with a false name.

And for good reason.

Field had been paroled from Taconic Correctional Facility last April after serving 25 years in for murder, attempted robbery and weapons possession.

She was one of three teens, (18 at the time, along with two other 17-year-old boys) when they were arrested for gunning down livery cab driver Cesar Lopez, 43, during a botched robbery on Elton Street East New York, Brooklyn back on April 29, 2000.

At that time, Field tried to convince jurors that the gun fired accidentally.

That defense didn’t succeed.

And she was convicted of murder in June, 2001 and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.

Records show that Field was freed from prison on April 24, 2025 and for now remains on active parole.

As a result of the recent mugging and potential parole violation — Field is currently going through the parole revocation hearing process that includes supervised via electronic monitoring.
