NYPD Cop Stole Guns From His Fellow Officers To Pay For Drugs
An NYPD patrol officer admitted he stole 9mm guns from the
lockers of fellow cops in Manhattan’s 9th Precinct, because he
was addicted to painkillers--and had to pay off his drug dealer.
31 year old Police Officer, Nicholas Mina, was arraigned in
Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday on multiple charges, including
conspiracy and criminal sale of a firearm.  Prosecutors told the

them, and even sold one of his personal firearms, a Glock.  
According to prosecutors, “Mr. Mina confessed….blaming it on his
drug use and his debt to his drug dealer, Ivan Chavez.”

about gun sales and drugs.  Prosecutors said in open court that
