Funny how it took three sentences to get to the really interesting part of the story.
“Cops noticed there was a “strong odor of marijuana” wafting from the SUV, which was double parked in Jamaica, Queens, near the scene of a shooting Saturday night.”
And then this interesting tidbit-
“The gun, which had its serial number scratched off, was loaded with two rounds of ammunition, and a spent round was found on the driver’s side floor.”
Via The NY Post
The Mayor de Blasio aide charged with riding around with a loaded gun was nabbed in an SUV that reeked of marijuana, according to a criminal complaint.
Reagan Stevens, 42, was in the back seat of the 2002 Infiniti when she and two others were allegedly caught with the loaded 9mm Hi-Point semiautomatic pistol tucked in a green velvet bag in the glove compartment, court papers said.

Cops noticed there was a “strong odor of marijuana” wafting from the SUV, which was double parked in Jamaica, Queens, near the scene of a shooting Saturday night.
Stevens — whose mother, Deborah Stevens, is a Queens Criminal Court judge and whose stepfather is an acting Queens Supreme Court justice — works as a deputy director in the mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice.
The Bay Ridge resident manages youth and strategic initiatives, including implementing a state law that will raise the age at which kids can be prosecuted as adults for nonviolent crimes from 16 to 18.
The gun, which had its serial number scratched off, was loaded with two rounds of ammunition, and a spent round was found on the driver’s side floor.
Cops also found a paintball gun and carbon dioxide cartridges from the rear cargo area of the vehicle and a gravity knife in 25-year-old driver Caesar Forbes’ waistband.
Another man, Montel Hughes, 24, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was charged with marijuana possession after cops allegedly found five Ziploc bags of pot in his coat pocket, the complaint said. A gravity knife was also recovered from the pocket of his pants.
Stevens, Hughes and Forbes were each charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. Forbes and Hughes were charged with criminal possession of a weapon related to the gravity knives and Forbes was ticketed for double parking.
Stevens was suspended without pay.
Their arrests followed a burst of five gunshots that activated an NYPD ShotSpotter gunfire-detection device at 9:42 p.m. Saturday at 174th Street and 109th Avenue, sources said.
The trio was parked near the corner of 177th Street and 106th Avenue and arrested around 10:25 p.m.
I am totally blown away de Blasio didn’t give her a pay hike.
Where’s Officer Groper?
She was just doing a field experiment for the “multicultural life experience project”, wondering why “the man” is hasslin’ them.
Note the real-life additions of SUV, weed, hoodies, knives, cheap stolen firearms with no permits, various races, and government employees.
Life is wonderful in clown world.
A Hi-Point 9mm huh? doesn’t get anymore hood rat than that. What a bunch of tards for keeping the gun. Thats why you buy those things- so you can throw them away after one use and not worry about the money. You use it in a crime, toss it and get another one, it ain’t a 600$ glock, thats why these dindus buy them.
You could always get the high-price, upscale, Euro-made Hi-point, the Walther PPQ.
Then you can admit that you’re just a gunsnob that sends his money overseas instead of supporting jobs in Ohio.
Ever see the series of videos trying to make a .45 Hi-Point malfunction and destroyed?

If you want an American alternative to the Hi Point that has been compared to the PPQ, get a Remington RP9. I have seen them go new in the box for less than $200. 18+1 too.
A fish stinks from the head…….Red Bill De Blasio is setting a great example. Notice how those in power reserve the right to make special rules for themselves. All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others……
“Stevens — whose mother, Deborah Stevens, is a Queens Criminal Court judge and whose stepfather is an acting Queens Supreme Court justice — works as a deputy director in the mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice.”
Parents are judges. She is a ‘mayor’s aide’. So, her entire family is nothing but high ranking parasites. They are also the very ones that are most likely to be pushing for gun control. This woman no doubt agrees with diblasio on gun control, and here she is with one, out committing crimes. While using drugs. I bet she gets nothing but a slap on the wrist, too.
Hmmm, HiPoint 9mm pistol in a “green velvet bag” interesting. Note to street wankers; “Not even a green velvet bag will make a HiPoint 9 work”. Rewind, use the gravity knives or steal a steak knife from DiBlasio’s dinner table, after you get out of chokie.
WTF is a gravity knife? Also, I would imagine that tampering with a serial number is a federal felony. Be interested what hizzhonor says about this one.
Think switchblade with no spring.
Kind give your wrist a flip, sudden stop, and momentum propels the concealed blade out of the handle.
Was wondering that myself, thank you. I think you’re right on the felony count. They frown on no serial number guns.
Actually, an individual can make a gun with no serial number, you just can’t sell it.
However, it is illegal to remove/obliterate a serial number

9. May I lawfully make a firearm for my own personal use, provided it is not being made for
resale?
Firearms may be lawfully made by persons who do not hold a manufacturer’s license under the GCA provided they are not for sale or distribution and the maker is not prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semiautomatic rifle or shotgun from 10 or more imported parts, as set forth in regulations in 27 C.F.R. 478.39. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and advance approval by ATF. An application to make a machinegun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for the official use of a Federal, State, or local government agency (18 U.S.C. § 922(o),(r); 26 U.S.C. § 5822; 27 C.F.R. §§ 478.39, 479.62, and 479.105).
Relax Mon de waz in Jamaica smokin da spleff to get de spirit and debhead right . The dudes will get time served pending priors and the government employees will get back pay and a pension . However if it was you or me or the guy behind the tree we would need sunlight piped to us .
leaving aside the typical left wing hypocrisy,we should be on her side–
she was in the back seat of a vehicle that presumably was not hers and there was a gun in a storage container in the glovebox,how was she charged w/a crime?
hell,the nra should take on her case,both because it’s the right thing to do and also because of the optics–
No no no, Tampa. They have video of the gunshots coming from the car she was in and I’m sure they have some ballistics too since they have everything. Nobody’s going near this piece of shit’s case. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/04/08/director-of-citys-office-of-criminal-justice-busted-for-gun-possession/amp/?source=images
Read some more, Tampa. Looks like she’s an all-around junkie dirtbag. Doesn’t even pay her rent, and the city gives her 90 grand a year. https://www.google.com/amp/www.nydailynews.com/amp/new-york/queens/prosecutor-sought-case-de-blasio-aide-busted-gun-article-1.3924083?source=images
She’ll give you the same excuse all the shithead pols do: “if I was CEO of a Fortune 500 company I’d be making ………..” As if any of these shitheads, her in particular would be allowed within a mile of the head office of any serious enterprise.
The real crime here is a loser like this, a supposed deadbeat being paid $90 K plus benefits by taxpayers and then will retire at 50-55 with $100K pension plus medical and move to Florida.
i read it star & it no looksie good for ’em–
however,i still do not believe that she should have been charged w/possession of the weapon & neither should any non owner of the vehicle–when’s the last time you searched your buddy’s vehicle b4 you rode in it?
if the video shows her firing or the guys testify against her then it’s a different story–
you know what’s really a crock?the low bail amounts for what are potentially serious charges–a good example of why i do not believe in the bail system–
Everybody in the car knows who’s gun it was. Everybody in the car knows who shot the gun. Nobody speaks up, everybody gets charged. It’s been that way my whole life. And it should be
Clear cut case of profiling. They dindu nuffin.
“It wasn’t mine.”
Huh, who woulda thunk it? NYC criminal department worker is, in fact, a criminal? Will wonders never cease.
This is just a youthful indiscretion on the way to this future senator’s successful career.
