HE WAS RARING for jail. 

Whether it was seeking revenge for being cut out of his kids’ lives, or his remarkable dislike towards Lexus model cars — one man went on a banner three-month crime bender. 

If he was sore about riding the city bus or just sick of walking, the venting targeted the innocent owner of a silver Lexus RX 350 that was done harm by the 64-year-old one-hand demolition. 

At around suppertime on March 31, the suspect used a metal wrench to smash both the rear windshield and the side window.

His alleged car tuneup actions were captured on CCTV. 

MAYBE HE HAD a real bazooka in his bubblegum. 

The batshit brute was caught after licking for a fight with a resident at high noon on April 6. 

The suspect apparently was wielding a bamboo stick when he hollered, “I’ll fucking shoot you!”

And while the perp didn’t appear to be able to have much more than the plant to make good on his threat — he proceeded to wreck some havoc. 

He used the stick to strike and scratch up the home’s front door. 

The same blowhard then used the bamboo stick cudgel to ruin the home’s mailbox. 

The police were summoned and quickly took the suspect into custody and disarmed him of his plant. 

The suspect was somehow back in civilization. 

And at around 11 p.m. on April 15, cops were called to a home on Edgegrove Avenue. 

There a woman feared the worst when a man had somehow breached the gated backyard and saw the same suspect who had the bamboo — this time wielding a metal bat. 

He allegedly griped, “You’re not letting me see the kids!”

Cops searched him and found another bag of coke.

He dared the homeowner at Maguire Avenue to call the cops. 

It was around 1:30 p.m. on May 9. 

And there he was, the same maniac (this time toting a pistol) having a tantrum outside the front door of a stranger. 

“I hope someone calls the ficking cops,” he dared the resident before demanding, “Open the fucking door! Open it, motherfucker.

Open the fucking door!”

He then allegedly bashed the door and forced it off its hinges. 

Once inevitably caught, investigators found a baggie of blow on him. 

They also took a closer look at the man’s apartment. 

There, the suspect claimed to have stashed his piece. 

“Yeah, I have a gun,” he conceded. 

“It is inside my dresser.”

A Glock 19 pistol was discovered there as he had detailed, according to the criminal complaint. 

He then teased what seemed to be authentic specs to a possible bomb.

“There is also an explosive device,” he allegedly stated. “It is green with a red button underneath the dresser; it is inside to the left.”

But no bomb was found. 

“Of course I said there was a bomb there,” the criminal mastermind chagrined to the law as if he had the last villainous cackle. 

As for the pistol? The perp claims to have let authorities into his home because he “wanted them to find it.”

“I bought the gun off the street,” the suspect recounted, before keeping true to his personal samurai warrior code. “Don’t want to give a name.”

He continued: “I thought someone was in my landlord’s house — that’s why I was trying to get in there.”

The suspect faces a raft of charges for all of his repeated terrorizing and attacks both attempted and executed.

A TAGGER WAS caught going to the mattresses (or at least the wall) with an Italian restaurant chef. 

The 54-year-old was caught months after scribbling a not-so-mysterious screed on the wall behind Villa Mosconi located on MacDougal Street. 

The suspected vandalism took place at around 4:15 p.m. on Jan. 24 at the eatery that was established back in 1976. 

The suspect allegedly spraypainted the wall facing the William F. Passannante Ballfield. 

His message read: “Pietro is a rat. Fuck you.”

But he wasn’t very incognito.

CCTV captured his alleged malevolence; specifically holding the orange spray cannister and spraying the screed and also a security camera.

Though it’s unclear to whom the perp namechecking in the most gruff street sense — the eatery’s renowned chef is named Pietro Mosconi.  

Cops took the suspect into custody on April 17. 

He was brought up on criminal mischief (damage property) and making graffiti.

A WANTON MADMAN, previously pegged for several knife attacks — including stabbing to death a 14 year old boy in the Bronx,was indicted for murder.

Waldo Mejia, 29, was collared in 2025 for killing Caleb Rijos, 14, on East 138th Street near Lincoln Avenue in Mott Haven. 

The boy was stabbed several times in the chest as he waited for a bus to arrive on Jan. 10, 2025. Rijos’ life ended after calling his father for help. Investigators determined the killing was random because Mejia didn’t previously know Rijos. Upon his arrest, cops linked him to an attack five days earlier. 

That incident occurred about 4 a.m. when Mejia allegedly stabbed a 38-year-old straphanger who had descended the stairs to the number 6 train station at Alexander Avenue and East 138th Street. Like Rijos’ stabbing, the attempt on the life of the man in the subway station wasn’t premeditated. 

And luckily in this case, the victim survived.

Mejia was found unfit to stand trial at the time. However, after getting his head examined and getting treatment, the all-clear was made and the suspect was deemed fit on October 10, 2025. The Bronx DA proceeded to  grand jury the man’s case.

That led to a May 21 indictment on charges of second degree murder, manslaughter, attempted murder, assault, and weapon possession.

Mejia remains imprisoned while awaiting his next Aug. 18 court date.

If convicted of the murder charge, Mejia faces a maximum of life in prison.

BANDITS RIDING IN a white SUV took a hostage for her bling. 

A 36-year-old and a female cohort allegedly rolled up to a woman standing outside Avenue N and Veterans Avenue on the afternoon of April 15. 

Their mark was forced at gunpoint to enter their ride. 

“Get inside the car,” the suspect allegedly barked. “She has a gun.”

The terrified woman did as she was told. 

While seated in the SUV, the woman with the piece reminded her she wasn’t playing games. 

“Don’t turn around or I’ll shoot you!”

The woman then took off the woman’s necklace — a piece that was worth more than $4,000. 

The woman reported the incident to authorities. 

And after some time, they collared the one suspect without the gun. 

He faces robbery, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property (worth excess of $3,000), and menacing with a firearm.

A MOTHER STOOD helpless by as her son nearly ended his father’s life. 

The 39-year-old son was squaring off with his 70-year-old father early morning on May 26. 

They were inside the family home located on Parsons Boulevard off 24th Avenue. 

The mother told homicide investigators that she saw her grownup charge “repeatedly” stab her husband all over his body — including his face, chest, arms, and back.

It wasn’t clear what prompted the clash and subsequent bloody attack.

The father was whisked away to Queens Hospital where he survived after undergoing surgery. 

His son was taken into custody and facing attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.

THE DERRINGER made another cameo.

The loaded, two-shot microscopic piece (made famous in the Old West era as a palm or boot pistol — was pulled off the streets during an overnight tour.

The praise for the disarm was overshadowed by the many lampooning the atomizing evidence.

Joey Rez: Did they raid a guarder belt ?

Patrick Miles: That thing looks like it came from a Lego kit

Isaac Tena: I had too zoom in to see it I thought it was the noisy cricket from "men in black”

Chris Rüdebeck (responding to^): It appears to be a North American Arms mini revolver .22 cal, but I 100% clocked it as the Noisy Cricket at first glance 😂

Chris White: Squirrels in a 4 mile radius are thanking you

Ken Seli: But did they confiscate the “BANG!” flag that comes out of the barrel?

Richard Sutfin: The man pulled it after being called a card cheat at a Faro table.

Michael Walker: They tried the old fisherman’s trick where they hold the trophy three feet in front of them to make it look bigger. It didn’t work…

David Ryland: Who do they get that off of? The Monopoly man?

Kyle Jacob Parks: You took some pimps lady pistol
xD

John Schultz: Did they recover it after the duel?
