The 38-year-old conductor was in her cab on the Manhattan-bound No. 4 train at the 167th St. station in Concourse when a man approached her around 11:50 a.m. and smashed her in the head with the bottle, police said.

The attacker took off, and the injured woman continued on with her job for two stops, until she spotted officers at the 149th St.-Grand Concourse station.

The conductor asked the cops for help, and they called her an ambulance. Medics took her to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition.

There were no arrests as police worked to track down the man who struck her.

The attack came just days after conductor Alton Scott, 59, was slashed at the Rockaway Ave. station in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, on Thursday, according to police.

Scott was cut when he poked his head out of the conductor’s cab of the Far Rockaway-bound A train at around 3:30 a.m., cops said.

A doctor on the train applied pressure on the wound until medics arrived and rushed the injured man to Brookdale University Hospital, where he needed 34 stitches and nine sutures to close up the deep cut.

Police are still looking for that slasher.

Concerns about subway crime prompted Gov. Hochul on Wednesday to announce 750 members of the National Guard and 250 state and MTA police officers are heading to subway stations to inspect passengers’ bags.

‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in shooting by Alec Baldwin https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/rust-armorer-hannah-gutierrez-guilty-involuntary-manslaughter/ Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:04:17 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7565337 A jury on Wednesday found “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 fatal shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin, but acquitted her on charges of tampering with evidence.

She was immediately remanded to custody pending sentencing. She faces up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine, according to The Associated Press.

Gutierrez-Reed was tasked with ensuring firearm safety and storage on the New Mexico set of the western when she handed Baldwin a prop gun that contained live ammunition. Baldwin fired, striking and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and wounding director Joel Souza.

In connection with the shooting, Baldwin was indicted by a grand jury in January, also for involuntary manslaughter. He has pleaded not guilty and is slated for trial in July.

Gutierrez-Reed was also charged with evidence tampering for allegedly transferring a small bag of narcotics to someone else on the day of the shooting, special prosecutors said at the time.

During Gutierrez-Reed’s two-week trial, prosecutors said the then-24-year-old had unknowingly brought live ammunition on the set while being lax at following basic gun-safety guidelines that were industry standard. Witness after witness described set safety protocols that were akin to playing Russian roulette.

After the shooting, state officials found “willful and serious violations” and fined the production $136,793, the maximum allowed.

Prosecutors built on such allegations, doubling down in detailing “constant, never-ending safety failures” on the set, as prosecutor Kari Morrissey described it in her closing arguments. She also said Gutierrez-Reed exhibited an “astonishing lack of diligence” when it came to gun safety.

The young armorer’s defense meanwhile argued that she could not have shown “willful disregard” if she didn’t know the rounds were live. It has never been made clear how live ammo made it onto the set.

Gutierrez-Reed’s attorneys also argued she was being made a scapegoat, adding she was not the one ultimately in control of the pace of the production.

“You had a production company on a shoestring budget [and] an A-list actor that was really running the show,” her attorney, Jason Bowles, said. “At the end, they had somebody they could all blame.”

After the verdict was read, Bowles said they planed to appeal.

Wednesday’s verdict shifts blame for Hutchins’ death in the wake of assistant director David Halls’ no-contest plea last year. Halls served six months of probation after pleading guilty to misdemeanor negligent use of a deadly weapon for declaring the gun “cold” before handing it to Baldwin.

Baldwin meanwhile has maintained that he did not pull the trigger and would never have pointed and fired a gun at another human. The FBI said otherwise. If found guilty, he could face up to 18 months behind bars in New Mexico.

NYC correction officer suspended after Rikers Island jail search finds contraband cache https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/nyc-correction-officer-suspended-after-rikers-island-jail-search-finds-contraband-cache/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 22:31:09 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7564219 A New York City correction officer was suspended after investigators discovered a stash of contraband hidden in a Rikers Island jail including a cell phone, phone chargers, a Wi-Fi hotspot adapter and a tool for breaking car windows, the Daily News has learned.

Officer Marc Johnson, a nine-year Correction Department veteran, was suspended Tuesday after a random search uncovered the cache of banned items concealed in a metal box in a hallway on the second floor of the North Infirmary Command, correction sources said.

The discovery was made in a section of the jail used for violent detainees and those with high-profile cases.

The box also contained three watches, a set of headphones with a microphone, a speaker, a clock and an airplane bottle of Jack Daniels honey liqueur, correction sources said. A second airplane bottle of honey whisky was allegedly found in Johnson’s vehicle.

Correction Department spokeswoman Shayla Mulzac confirmed Wednesday that Johnson was suspended for 30 days without pay for possession of contraband. An investigation is ongoing.

“Any staff who brings contraband into our jails will face serious consequences, including possible termination and criminal charges,” said Correction Commissioner Lynelle Maginley-Liddie. “The presence of prohibited items directly impacts safety for all staff and people in custody.”

Lynelle Maginley-Liddie, the 38th commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction.Johnson made $144,328 in fiscal 2023, including $48,262 for working 694 hours of overtime, city payroll records show.

In fiscal 2022, he made $158,216, including $55,799 for 802 hours of overtime, the payroll records show.

The suspension comes as the Correction Department has expanded the use of body scanners in the jails to check staff for possible contraband.

The program began in February 2023 — following much resistance spanning several administrations —  when then-Correction Commissioner Louis Molina had a body-scanning machine for staff installed in the Robert N. Davoren Center.

Since then, the department has added scanners in the Otis Bantum Correctional Center and the Eric M. Taylor Center.

Now, under Maginley-Liddie, the George R. Vierno Center is next, with the three remaining jails at Rikers — the infirmary command, the Rose M. Singer Center and the West Facility —  to follow.

Contraband is a persistent problem at Rikers.

In October, the federal monitor tracking violence and staff use of force in New York City’s jails said they were  “pervasive, leading to slashings and open drug use” even in the high-security Enhanced Supervision Housing unit at the Singer Center.

Weapons are “easily available” and drug use is “rampant,” the Oct. 5 report said.

From January to November 2023, 4,020 contraband items were confiscated in more than 100,000 searches compared with 8,598 items in 2022, the monitor reported Dec 22.

While contraband smuggling is often blamed on detainees, visitors and the mail, a number of officers have been caught bringing in drugs, phones, weapons and other items in recent years.

In November, former Correction Officer Krystle Burrell was sentenced to two years and five months in federal prison for taking $10,000 in bribes to smuggle in drugs and cell phones for detainee Terrae Hinds, with whom she was romantically involved.

In April, former Correction Officer Katrina Patterson was sentenced to a year in prison for taking $34,000 in bribes to smuggle drugs and cell phones into the Davoren Center.

In November 2022, Correction Department investigator Andrew Walker testified at a Brooklyn Federal Court trial that officers and staff are “usually” the source of contraband.

“They [detainees] usually use officers and civilian staff,” Walker said during the trial of James Albert, accused of bribing correction officers to smuggle contraband.

Albert was found guilty of bribing staff, including former Correction Officer Patrick Legerme. Legerme pleaded guilty to conspiring to accept bribes.

But the Correction Department reported no staff suspensions for contraband in 2022 and three in the first half of 2023, compared with 11 between January 2020 and June 2021, the Dec. 22 monitor report said.

8 high school students wounded in fourth Philly SEPTA bus shooting in 4 days https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/philadelphia-septa-bus-shooting-route-18-67/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 22:07:44 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7564952 Eight high school students were shot at a SEPTA bus stop in Northeast Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon, according to officials.

The victims ranged in age from 15 to 17, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel confirmed during a press conference.

One 16-year-old boy sustained nine gunshot wounds to the torso and has been listed in critical condition, Philadelphia police said. The seven other victims suffered gunshots to various parts of their bodies, including the back, chest, arms, legs and buttocks, and are said to be in stable condition.

Police believe the shots were fired by gunman in a dark blue Hyundai parked near a Dunkin Donuts in the Burholme neighborhood just before 3 p.m. Three people wearing masks were seen on surveillance video getting out of the vehicle and opening fire at a group of students at the bus stop.

The vehicle fled away from the scene and the suspects are still at large.

Wednesday’s shooting happened near Northeast High School and Crossan Elementary School. The high school students had just been dismissed for the day when the gunplay began, officials said.

Authorities later confirmed at least 30 shots had been fired.

Transportation officials said two busses, Route 18 and Route 67, were also hit by bullets during the afternoon shooting, but no passengers onboard were known to be hurt.

Wednesday’s shooting marks the fourth time this week violence had erupted at a SEPTA location.

Cops said a man was shot and killed on a Route 79 bus in South Philadelphia Tuesday night. A 17-year-old high school student died and four other people were injured when at least one gunman with an automatic weapon opened fire at a bus stop Monday. And on Sunday, a 27-year-old bus passenger was fatally shot during an altercation.

Wednesday’s incident is said to have occurred while SEPTA Police Chief Chuck Lawson was in Philadelphia City Hall meeting with police and other city officials to discuss the recent shootings in the city, according to Fox29’s Steve Keeley.

Long Island man pleads guilty to killing 3 women in DUI crash https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/long-island-sweet-sixteen-dui-crash-guilty-plea/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 21:23:00 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7564923 A Long Island man admitted Tuesday to killing three women while driving drunk nearly two years ago.

Dante Lennon, 23, pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree manslaughter and one count of aggravated vehicular homicide, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly announced.

Lennon was driving a Mercedes-Benz nearly 70 mph on Jericho Turnpike through New Hyde Park when he slammed into a Lincoln Town Car carrying six people at around 11 p.m. on May 21, 2022.

Dante Lennon was driving a Mercedes-Benz nearly 70 mph on the Jericho Turnpike through New Hyde Park when he slammed into a Lincoln Town Car carrying six people at around 11 p.m. on May 21, 2022.
The victims’ car is seen driving through New Hyde Park on May 21, 2022.

Three of the passengers — Marlene Luu, 66; Hoa Ho, 68, and Tu Nguyen, 41 — were killed in the crash. The three women were leaving a sweet sixteen birthday party that had recently wrapped up at the Inn in New Hyde Park.

“A sweet sixteen party should be a cherished memory for family, but because of this defendant’s reckless and callous disregard for other motorists, it will instead be remembered as an unbelievable tragedy,” Donnelly said in a statement.

“In an instant, three family members were lost and another three injured when Dante Lennon, drunk and speeding, barreled into their Town Car. We continue to hold the family of Marlene Luu, Hoa Ho and Tu Nguyen in our thoughts as this defendant is sentenced for his crimes.”

Dante Lennon was driving a Mercedes-Benz nearly 70 mph on the Jericho Turnpike through New Hyde Park when he slammed into a Lincoln Town Car carrying six people at around 11 p.m. on May 21, 2022.
The moment of impact was captured on surveillance video, according to police.

Three other people in the vehicle, identified as men ages 72, 67 and 42, were injured in the wreck. Lennon also pleaded guilty to six counts of assault — three felonies and three misdemeanors — in the case.

The posted speed limit on Jericho Turnpike through New Hyde Park is 35 mph. Lennon was going nearly twice as fast at the time of the crash.

Lennon is due back in court on June 5 for his sentencing hearing. He is expected to get six to 18 years in prison, according to the district attorney’s office.

Knife-wielding suspect arrested after 9-hour standoff in Cape Cod https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/cape-cod-lockdown-hyannis-standoff/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 20:17:14 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7564700 A man who spent hours barricaded in his home after threatening its occupants with a knife was arrested Wednesday after the lengthy standoff with police.

Authorities did not immediately identify the suspect but told Boston 25 News that the person had been taken into custody at around 4:30 p.m. after a holding out for roughly nine hours against law enforcement officers, including a SWAT team.

The officers and agents had descended on the home in Hyannis earlier in the day to investigate reports of a person being held at knifepoint, according to a statement from the Barnstable Police Department. Authorities evacuated nearby neighbors and residents as the crisis also triggered lockdowns for several schools in the Cape Cod area.

When they arrived on the scene just after 7:30 a.m., officers learned the occupants of the home had been allowed to leave, but that the suspect, armed with a knife, was still barricaded inside.

A shelter-in-place order was sent out for a 1-mile radius of the incident, and police evacuated homes nearby for emergency purposes.

Five schools across Barnstable were also placed under lockdown as authorities worked to negotiate with the suspect.

“No one is permitted into our schools or to exit them, but school operations within the building will continue,” a district spokesperson told Boston 25. “This is as a result of police activity in the Hyannis area.”

Authorities emphasized the lockdown measures were precautionary. By 10:30 a.m., school officials were informed there was no longer any danger because the suspect was “contained to his home.”

Scammer tried to con George Santos, asked $900K to make case vanish: Brooklyn feds https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/scammer-tried-to-con-george-santos-asked-900k-to-make-case-vanish-brooklyn-feds/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 19:44:33 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7564514 A scammer from Texas faces federal charges after he offered to make George Santos’ legal troubles go away for $900,000, prosecutors alleged Wednesday.

El Paso ex-con Hector Medina sent the lying former congressman text messages and a video last year purporting to be a man with a particular set of skills that could make Santos’ criminal charges vanish, Brooklyn federal prosecutors allege in a criminal complaint.

He also made a $1 million offer to an unnamed California actor convicted of multiple felonies in May. A source with knowledge of the situation identified the actor as Danny Masterson, who was convicted of raping two women.

Medina is also accused of similar offers to a musician arrested in June and an athlete’s relative who was busted in May.

Calling himself “Mike Soto,” Medina is accused of sending an unsolicited video message to Santos in July, while the Republican elected from a district including parts of Nassau County and Queens was still in Congress.

“You don’t know me but, I wanted you to see a face and trust me on what I’m about to tell you. I work with prosecutors and, uh, judges throughout the United States and I want to give you the opportunity to offer my services. I was contacted by some people to reach out to you and see if you wanted to cut a deal,” he said, according to the feds.

“Uh, this only stands for today. If you’re interested, I can get everything dropped, evidence that is on you removed, disappeared. Reach out to me if you’re interested. It’s simple yes or no. Thank you.”

He then sent Santos several text messages, asking him if he had the wrong number, then offering, “I can get all the charges dropped” and “All I need is for you or someone to wire 900k,” according to the feds

In a string of texts, he said, “Once this is done I’ll take care of the rest. I’m the real deal don’t let doubt come in the way of you getting this dismissed,” the feds allege.

In August, Medina persisted, according to the feds, sending more texts like, “I know you see my messages,” and recording another video, boasting, “I’m on your team. If you don’t want the help, at least connect me with people that do. Um, you know, I’m really good at what I do. I am a genius. I am a wizard when it comes to things like this.”

Santos, who lied about nearly every aspect of his life during his successful run for office in 2022, was ousted from the job in December. He faces multiple fraud and identity theft charges, including allegations he stole people’s identities and made unauthorized charges on campaign donors’ credit cards to buy designer clothes and pay personal debts.

The complaint doesn’t identify Santos by name, but rather as Individual-1. It explicitly describes him as New York’s 3rd Congressional District representative from Jan. 7 to Dec. 1.

In June, Medina sent messages to the California actor identified as Masterson and to Masterson’s then-spouse, said the feds.

The message allegedly said: “My name is Mike and I’m working with the people affiliated with your case. I can get the case thrown out or a reduced sentence very low but my people are asking for a $1 million dollar fee.”

When law enforcement came calling on Dec. 14, Medina admitted the scam, saying he searched the internet looking for people in trouble, and that he needed the cash to pay off more than $100,000 in gambling debts, according to the complaint.

Medina — who has a history of fraud and theft convictions in Texas, according to the feds — is charged with wire fraud and was expected to appear in federal court in El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday.

“I’m currently in my initial phases of my representation of Mr. Medina in this matter. Mr. Medina eagerly anticipates confronting the allegations against him through the formal legal process,” his lawyer Joseph Veith said Wednesday.

Medina’s case will be transferred to Brooklyn Federal Court at a later date.

Pennsylvania woman survives bear attack while protecting dog https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/pennsylvania-woman-attacked-by-bear-protecting-dog/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 19:42:27 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7564524 A Pittsburgh-area woman who was protecting her dog sustained non-life-threatening injuries when she was attacked Tuesday night by a mother bear protecting her cubs.

The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. in Butler Township, about 35 miles north of Pittsburgh, when Lee Ann Galante went outside to check on her barking dog.

Galante, 55, discovered her dog in an altercation with a black bear accompanied by three cubs. As she attempted to separate her dog, she was bitten on the head. She also suffered injuries to her face, neck and both arms.

Galante managed to free herself and got back inside her house with the dog, which was unharmed. She was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital for treatment of her injuries and is expected to leave in good condition.

The mother bear was euthanized at the scene after continuing to be aggressive, the Pennsylvania Game Commission said. The cubs were tranquilized and transported to an undisclosed location. They may be tagged and released into an wilderness area, though a spokesperson for the commission told WTAE that they’re “leaning more towards caution and probably euthanizing these cubs to test them for rabies just in case.”

“This is a first for me and first for the area,” Sgt. Thomas Vensel of the Butler Township Police told CBS Pittsburgh. “Talked to some people [who said] they’d been seeing [bears] in the area. Obviously, there was a bird feeder up here that was knocked down. We had warm weather lately, so I’m assuming these animals are out and about.”

One neighbor told TribLive she had seen a bear in the area at least 10 times within the last month, while another’s doorbell camera captured four bears rummaging through trash cans.

Officials advised homeowners to bring bird feeders, pets, pet food and trash indoors at night since bears are leaving hibernation and looking for food. People should also not get between a mother bear and their cubs.

Pennsylvania man with stolen body parts in home gets 2 years probation https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/03/06/stolen-body-parts-harvard-morgue-jeremy-pauley-sentence/ Wed, 06 Mar 2024 18:40:43 +0000 https://www.nydailynews.com/?p=7564508 A Pennsylvania man who was busted with stolen human body parts in his home was sentenced Tuesday to two years probation.

Jeremy Pauley, 41, had pleaded guilty to abuse of a corpse in the state case, which was concluded with Tuesday’s sentence, PennLive.com reported.

However, Pauley still faces a federal case, in which he also pleaded guilty. He is expected to receive a heftier sentence in that case, in which he admitted to conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen property.

Police first knocked on Pauley’s door in Enola, Pa. on June 14, 2022. Cops found three full human skeletons and 15 to 20 human skulls in the residence. In a follow-up search, investigators found three five-gallon buckets full of body parts, including livers, brains and kidneys.

Pauley collected so many human remains that investigators tied him to two separate scandals in which mortuary supervisors were stealing body parts from universities.

The more prominent affair involved Harvard Medical School mortuary boss Cedric Lodge and his wife, Denise, swiping body parts from the institution and selling them online, according to investigators. Pauley told the feds he was one of their buyers.

Denise Lodge pleaded guilty in the case last month, while Cedric Lodge has so far maintained his not guilty plea.

Additionally, Pauley told the cops he bought body parts from Candace Scott at Arkansas Central Mortuary Services. Scott stole body parts that had been set aside for a University of Arkansas program and sold them to various collectors, including Pauley, according to investigators. Scott has pleaded not guilty in her case.

Pauley’s first year of probation will be supervised, PennLive reported. If he meets the conditions, his second year could be unsupervised.
