Crime Blotter

WHAT YOU WANT, AND MORE Juan Huerta got what he wanted Sunday morning—and how many of us can say that? After mugging a man in a Tribeca subway station, he ran outside then ducked into another subway station with the police in hot pursuit. Then Huerta, 47, jumped off the platform, ran down the tunnel a ways, doubled back and charged at one of the pursuing officers, yelling, "Shoot me!"

So that's what the officer did.

Initial reports that Huerta lived in the tunnels with the C.H.U.D.s and the mole people were later dismissed. He just happened to be really, really dirty.

Samuel Irving, the double amputee about to stand trial for the rape of a bedridden 78-year-old woman in a Brooklyn nursing home, didn't help his case when it was revealed that earlier this month, he offered a hit man $2000 to whack the old lady and the prosecuting attorney. Too bad for him the "hit man" was really an undercover detective.

That busy gang of ATM thieves struck again last week. They smashed the front window of the Wonderfoods on 5th Ave. and 36th sometime before 4 a.m. Wednesday, pried the store's ATM out of the floor and spirited it away. If it is indeed the work of the same gang, this will have been the 21st ATM they've stolen since the beginning of the year.

Breaking up was hard to do for Suzanne Biscardi. Since her girlfriend called things off in March, Biscardi has been following her, hanging around outside her home and office and being a creepy nuisance. After several complaints, Biscardi was finally picked up on Monday, June 21. Biscardi, as it happens, is a 10-year NYPD veteran assigned to the 19th precinct. She's been suspended without pay.

On Wednesday, 22-year-old Bronx resident Thysjun Stephine was tackled by police outside City Hall after making a mad dash past two metal detectors on his way to the front doors. It seems he was convinced that the mayor had promised him he'd get his car back if he agreed to hand over his fireworks. He's being charged with criminal trespass and resisting arrest. No word yet about the car.

A man who'd clearly let the laundry slide far too long climbed through a second-floor window above a bank in Queens early Sunday. After cutting a hole through the floor, he lowered himself into the bank and stole $1800 in quarters. There are no suspects.

Police found more than they expected during an early-morning drug raid in Bay Ridge Wednesday. Along with heroin, they found homemade bombs, antique weapons and five skulls. The unnamed suspect who lived in the apartment was described as a "neo-Nazi punk."

And a group of teens in Crown Heights got more than they expected Wednesday, too. They were just hanging around the park whipping rocks at cars, when one of the cars stopped. The passenger in the livery cab stepped out, let the teens know that throwing rocks was bad, then shot four of them. All are in stable condition, and the shooter fled the scene, having made his point. o
