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.

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. 

Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.

The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.

A FIRESTARTER WAS overcome with discontent with her first blaze.

attempted arson, reckless endangerment. 

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. 

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.

TWICE A WOMAN had sex with a man in his bedroom. And both times their hanky panky was being secretly recorded without her knowledge using a camera hidden on the perv’s bedroom stand. 

At the strike of midnight on March 23 and May 17, the woman suspects the perp, 58, was getting lucky inside his home located on Pacific Street and Eastern Parkway. 

The suspect allegedly rigged a clock that had been strategically placed to capture the woman’s bits during their “sexual intercourse”, according to the criminal complaint. 

The perp was formally hit with unlawful surveillance, (under clothing/for amusment profit/for sexual arousal).

A GAY-BASHING brute unleashed a fury at a woman after she confronted him over blocking her driveway with his car.

The 52-year-old reportedly parked his car at the lip of the driveway of the woman’s Grant Avenue home midday back on July 9. 

The homeowner confronted the driver and pleaded with him to move his car. 

He refused, the criminal complaint reads.

And he allegedly erupted in such a way that it inspired her to secure an order of protection from the driver. 

Five days later, the same suspect disregarded the document and returned with a message. 

He allegedly waited on the woman to exit her home and showered her with a bag of dog urine, shrieking, “Lesbian bitch!”

The disgusting assault had the suspect getting dinged with criminal contempt, menacing, and hate crime. 

OF ALL THE cars out there one numskull picked a Hyundai with a dad driving his kid and tried to ride off with it. 

But like his MENSA membership at choosing cars, the dimwit bungled that too. 

The 44-year-old perp allegedly attempted to force a man in his 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe driving his tot to relinquish the ride. 

It was around 3 p.m. on Sept. 30 outside President Street and Bedford Avenue.

The suspect allegedly barged his way into the Santa Fe that was double parked with the engine running. 

The four-wheel filcher attempted to rough up the driver and force him out of the driver’s seat. 

He punched and slapped the man and tried to take over the wheel while the man’s 5-year-old son stricken with autism — experiencing panic fits. 

The father was able to fend him off and the perp failed to give up the ride. 

Despite the big fail he was still dinged with robbery (of a motor vehicle,) assault, grand larceny 3, criminal possession of stolen property and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

A TONE DEAF provocateur thought he was making a masterpiece by dangling a human body-like figure from a noose. 

The  a sidewalk an

grated enough passers-by with a most affronting display. 

The 34-year-old creator of the trite work caused a ghastly response midday on Oct. 25 was proud of shocking people walked by on Herkimer Street. 

They were offended by the figure whose neck was hanging by a noose from an overhanging tree. 

When the cops found the suspect he told them that it was all intentional. 

That he wanted “people to know that people are still being lynched.”

And what’s more “does not care how people feel” because the noose and body is “a piece of art” and art “is meant to evoke feelings.”

The proud installation creator punched himself in for aggravated harassment.

HE CROSSED A dozen lines and missed every signal to scram. 

The order of protection failed to dissuade a mad man who couldn’t stop communicating with a woman. 

Since Aug. 6, the 23-year-old batshit one went on what he must have thought was a charm offensive. 

In his first call placed at around 6:30 a.m., he pleaded with the woman, “Why are you doing this to me?”

The woman informed the authorities and a judge instituted a swift protection order, according to the criminal complaint. 

That piece of paper apparently caused the woman’s alleged stalker to hold off two weeks before calling the same woman again. 

At a witching hour, the suspect called on Aug. 24 and for an hour the two chatted. Or he spoke and she listened. 

The same phone calls and conversations repeated for the next two weeks. Sometimes he would call and she would pick up. Other times he would call and no answer — so he called again. And again.

Then on Sept. 8, the suspect flipped the psycho switch: recording a video of himself “rotating a handgun” with text message postscripts. 

“Let anybody know that I got that on me,” he bragged, the papers say. 

“I don’t give a fuck who know where I’m at. I don’t give a fuck no more about nothing.”

The terminal nature of the visuals and language was enough to rattle the woman to the point that something had to be done. 

But the suspect tried one last time to plead for her forgiveness for letting him go off the rails. 

“I’m sorry,” he said during their phone call the next day. “I love you.”

The cops were at his doorstep that same day and brought him into custody. 

He was given some lovable charges including criminal contempt (for disregarding the judge’s order of protection intact until Dec. 4), aggravated harassment, and harassment.

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.

A TOURIST WAS hosed out of a bundle by a scammy hack who forced him to pay a king’s ransom to drive three terminals. 

The out-of-towner told cops he was swindled at around 2 a.m. on July 1 in front of Terminal 1 at John F. Kennedy Airport. 

He described the driver as a bespectacled man dressed in black pants and a grey collared shirt driving a dark colored minivan. 

That guy along with a man riding shotgun solicited (or snookered) him to get a ride over to Terminal 4 of the same airport for a fee. 

The eye-watering cost to go a short distance a couple terminals away could have taken him by air to Turks and Caicos. 

The ask was $497. 

But the traveler didn’t have that kind of cash on hand. 

Not a problem, the crook cabbie assured him. 

So he took the man to a Citibank branch about three miles away located on Rockaway Boulevard to withdraw the sum. 

CCTV captured the oblivious man trying to pull the cash from the machine to no avail. 

The deviant driver then pressed the man to send him the funds using the Zelle cash transferring app. 

And he complied — moving all $497. 

Yes, the passenger made it to Terminal 4.
And perhaps it was a clip before he realized he’d been hoodwinked. 

But the cops got involved and by Oct. 26 they found the minivan hustler and collared him for petit larceny, fraudulent accosting, unlawful solicitation of ground transportation services, and unlawfully steal the property of another.

The 52-year-old reportedly parked his car at the lip of the driveway of the woman’s Grant Avenue home midday back on July 9.

The disgusting assault had the suspect getting dinged with criminal contempt, menacing, and hate crime. 

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. 

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.

A PAIR OF scavengers snuck into an East Flatbush home early evening on Sept. 28 and grabbed various pieces of jewelry and an iPhone before taking off.

A TRIO ARE being sent away for a decade for slinging fentanyl around Gotham.

Victor Rosario Arias, Jonathan Ramos, and Steven Fabien Tineo were all found guilty back in July for pushing white China (even embossing their dope bricks with a “COVID-19” branded mold) out of their lair where product was stowed in the walls.
