Now urine trouble!
Police said they caught a 32-year-old man urinating on the sidewalk on Sat., Oct. 3, around 2:15 a.m., near the intersection of Minetta Lane and Sixth Ave. The suspect fled from cops at about 2:15 a.m. but police soon caught him. He suffered a small laceration to his head during the arrest but refused to visit a hospital, according to a police report.
Sameer Tanakia was charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor.
A fight for the ages
A 42-year-old woman allegedly punched an 81-year-old man on Fri., Oct. 2, inside an apartment at 16 Charles St. The reported attack followed a verbal dispute that erupted between them at about 11 p.m. The victim told police that they live together, though a police report states otherwise.
A Sixth Precinct representative — apparently referring to the age differential — said that the two people have “some kind of strange relationship [with] some things I’m thankful for not seeing.”
Police arrested Angelique Doudnikova and charged her with misdemeanor assault.
Right way to arrest
Police stopped a woman driver in a red jeep going the wrong way on a one-way street on Thurs., Oct. 1. They pulled the vehicle over in front of 410 W. 13th St. a few minutes before 11 p.m. Officers said the woman smelled of booze and had a notably flushed face. She blew a .19 blood alcohol content at the scene, according to a police report.
The woman then allegedly refused breath and coordination tests at the Seventh Precinct stationhouse on the Lower East Side. Laura Ince, 34, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor drunk driving.
Dopey dope dealer
There was more than just pot in the possession of a man hanging out on the western side of Washington Square Park on Sat., Oct. 3, according to police. Cops said they observed an apparent drug sale and approached the suspect at about 6:15 p.m. As they came near, he allegedly dropped a small stack of heroin labeled “Empire” before he was arrested. He then reportedly shouted his refusal to get into a police vehicle.
“I am not getting in the car. You are going to have to kill me,” he cried, according to a police report.
The man did not give up even when they got him into the car. He kicked and bit officers during the subsequent ride to the Sixth Precinct stationhouse on W. 10th St. During a strip search, he reportedly tried to flush more drugs down the toilet, but police managed to secure the evidence.
Shequan Williams, 26, was charged with felony criminal possession of a controlled substance.
