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.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Williamsburg: Boob Grabber Bluntly Asks Teen Straphanger ‘Can We Fuck?’
A GROSS GROPER pressed the issue.
Just before 8 p.m. on Nov. 16, saw a detestable deviant, 63, allegedly fondle and then proposition a 16-year-old girl for sex aboard a J train rumbling into the Marcy Avenue station.
The pervert initially struck up some chatter with the young girl and at some point with his molesting mitt — cupped her breast.
He then allegedly leaned over the innocent in an attempt to kiss her and whispered, “Can we fuck?”
The suspect then protested, “You can't turn me on and then not do anything.”
Luckily for the victimized girl, the train reached the next stop and she exited the train dodging something potentially worse and letting the handsy scoundrel travel on.
‘You can't turn me on and then not do anything.’ -63-year-old sicko to 16-year-old on Brooklyn subway train
Four days elapsed before cops tracked down the goon and took him into custody. He was charged with forcible touching, endangering the welfare of a child, sexual abuse, and harassment.
At his arraignment, the man pleaded not guilty. He is supposed to return back to court on Jan. 27, records show.

⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Lower Manhattan: Hat Heister Racks Up Another Bust Warning Shop Clerk ‘I Am Going To Kill You!’

A KNIFE-TOTING KLEPTO threatened the life of store workers for a handful of hats.
Late morning on Nov. 13, the 57-year-old menace stormed into the Loknath Gift Shop located at the base of the SoHo Garden Hotel on Broadway and Canal Street.
Witnesses saw the suspect waving a knife and making threats to employees.
“I am going to kill you,” he huffed to one of them, according to the criminal complaint.
He then proceeded to nick five hats off the store’s display rack, tucked them in his mitts and then scampered away.
Responding officers jumped into action and spotted the cap crook blocks away on Canal and Elizabeth Streets.
They nabbed him and also recovered the accessory merch and the blade from his right jacket pocket.
The suspect was charged with robbery (with a knife) and weapons possession. They checked on his past and the accused has at least one conviction for petit larceny from Aug. 21 of last year.

⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Morris Heights: ‘Get Down Here!’: Woman Summoned Enforcer To Neutralize Rival
A WOMAN IS going down for the murder rap while another man who allegedly fired the fatal rounds remains outstanding.
The 59-year-old suspect was charged with murder, manslaughter and weapons possession after she sought the no-mess hands of a heavy.
She and others jawing with a group of others outside of a home located on West 174th Avenue near Popham Avenue back at around 8 p.m. on Nov. 23.
As their clash intensified, the suspect allegedly dialed for backup.
“You need to come downstairs,” she allegedly explained in the short call. “Get down here!”
Her hero in arms arrived to the melee allegedly with gun in hand and pulled the trigger felling one man, 24, in the clique with headshots.
The shot man was rushed to BronxCare Hospital where he succumbed to the shots and was pronounced dead.
The woman and outstanding shooter are believed to reside several blocks from the crime scene, while the victim died across the street from his home.
Prosecutors charged the woman and remain on the prowl for the suspected shooter.

⬛ QUEENS
▀ Ozone Park: Speedster Caught Holding Marijuana
SPEEDING AROUND TOWN with Florida plates was a bit of a tell. And the pounds of herb cargo weren’t meant to heal countless cataracts.
And cops might have had their hound noses on overdrive because they sniffed out a 25-year-old driver trying to make it out of Dodge with a lot of doobage.
The suspect was allegedly punching the gas of a 2015 Infinity “at a high rate of speed” when he was pulled over.
It was about 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 when the cops pursued the driver on Rockaway Boulevard and 88th Street.
When pressed to produce his driver’s license — he came up dry.
That had the officers upgrading to a search of the ride.
They didn’t have to look hard.
Seven bags were resting on the backseat of the car and 39 zips in the front passenger seat. All of them were filled with weed and later weighing in at 3.35 pounds (53.6 ounces in excess of 16 ounces.
The green-thumbed driver was taken into custody and hit a sobering dose of criminal possession of cannabis, and driving by unlicensed operator.

⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Edwin Markham Gardens: Cop Fleeing Sap Sends Ex Lover Surly Texts Reminding Her ‘I Shot Somebody In My Own Crib’
HE ISN’T PLAYING.
A 28-year-old has found himself in a heap of trouble after taking cops on a car chase when they pursued him for blowing a stop sign.
The suspect was driving along Broadway near Castleton Avenue back at around 8:45 a.m. on Nov. 6.
He racked up a series of infractions starting with failing to come to a halt at a stop sign.
Officers pursued him and he was finally reeled in and found he was driving without a license.
As he was being booked for fleeing police in a motor vehicle, disobeying a traffic device among other crimes — he also allegedly taunted an ex-fling.
The man allegedly had been sending text messages to his onetime lover and she reported him to the cops.
‘I promise you I’m gonna crash out. I don’t care about jail.’-28-year-old punk caught sending fearsome texts to ex-lover
That’s because they were disturbing and possibly actionable.
“I don’t care about your n—, I dont care who you,” the text reads. “You know I shot somebody in my own crib — what the fuck you think I’ll do?”
After announcing is taste for violence, the suspect doubled down.
“Stop playing with me,” states another. “Word to my daughters life, dont drop my shit off; I promise you I’m gonna crash out.
“And I don’t care about jail.”
He allegedly closed it out with yet more invective. “So let me know if this is really what you wanna do. Real shit. Bet. Say less. I will slap the shit out you. No remorse. I don’t care about no mace [sic].”
The receiver was fearful the man would make good on his big talk and so she reached out to authorities.
They caught up to him in the car and after the wild goose antics — he was hauled away.
He now faces the driving raps along with aggravated harassment (threat) and harassment.

⬛ SEPIA NYC
▀ ‘Scent Of Survival’… Cop Holding Court At Donut Shop - 1950s

In the 1950s, donut shops were among the few places open at 4 a.m. Officers needed caffeine and a phone. Bakers needed safety. What started as a survival tactic became the world's most enduring police stereotype.

⬛ ET. AL

▀ Actually Airing Dirty Laundry In Public (New York, NY)

SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE done the dirty and they came home to find all their wardrobe drizzled on an NYC street. That or a landlord is feeling especially peppery and making an example of a tenant deep in arrears. Either way it’s ice cold.
