This cop may have done some shooting without ever firing her service weapon.
A police officer accused of burglarizing her boyfriend’s mother’s home last year was arrested with a hypodermic needle and drugs in a Brooklyn neighborhood on May 13.
Cops cuffed a 29-year-old lawwoman at 7:45 pm in the 72nd Precinct, which covers Sunset Park, Green-Wood Heights, and Windsor Terrace, police sources said. She is charged with misdemeanor paraphernalia possession and felony drug possession, according to police.
The woman faces several counts of burglary and larceny in an unrelated case, court records show. Prosecutors say she twice broke into her boyfriend’s mother’s house, stole jewelry, and pawned it, according to a criminal complaint.
The officer is a seven-year veteran of the department who was stationed in Staten Island’s 122nd Precinct, police said.
A heroin epidemic has been raging in New York’s most bucolic borough — especially the South Shore and Mid-Island sections, which the 122nd Precinct serves, according to local paper The Staten Island Advance.
But a spike in drug overdose-related deaths is hitting closer to home, too. Bay Ridge had the third highest incidence drug overdoses in the city.
A spokeswoman could not immediately say whether the department had suspended the officer. Internal affairs is investigating, she said.
