Butterfingered perp enters Dunkin’, drops gun in front of cops
A bitter surprise was in store for this butter-fingered crook.
Security footage obtained by The Post on Sunday shows a man stumbling into a Coney Island Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins and dropping a gun — right in front of a trio of NYPD officers who just happened to be in the fast food restaurant.
The bumbling perp, identified by sources as 34-year-old Emmanuel Lovett, seems to be adjusting his pants as he strolls into the donut shop on Saturday at around 11:30 p.m. — and doesn’t appear to notice the loaded weapon falling to the ground.
A pair of cops can be seen rushing toward the unlucky ex-con and putting him in handcuffs, while the third picks up the gun.
“3 of our cops are in the local Dunkin/Baskin Robbins. A fella walks in, adjusts his pants & out drops a loaded gun on the floor,” tweeted NYPD Transit Chief Edward Delatorre.
“Now the repeat felon carrying it is in custody, all because a Transit cop had a craving for cake batter ice cream
(seriously, this actually happened).”
(seriously, this actually happened).”
Lovett was charged with felony criminal possession of a loaded firearm, among other charges and was expected to be arraigned in Kings County Criminal Court Sunday.
Records show he’s previously been arrested for robbery and criminal possession of marijuana.
