YANKEE TIX FOR FREEDOM

A man tried to bribe his way out of an arrest by offering up Yankee tickets to cops. On Sept. 5 at 4:20 a.m., police detained Michael Mata on the corner of York Avenue and East 72nd Street for driving while intoxicated. Cops said Mata then tried to bribe his way out of the arrest by enticing them with free Yankee tickets, which only got a bribery charge added to his rap sheet.
