De Blasio aide busted with gun in car.
A $90,000-per-year director with Mayor de Blasio’s Office of Criminal Justice was arrested along with two men Saturday night in Queens after a loaded gun was found in their car — double-parked just blocks away from the scene of an earlier shooting, police said.
Reagan Stevens — the Office’s Deputy Director of Youth and Strategic Initiatives — was busted on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon after cops found the loaded 9mm gun in the glovebox of the 2002 Infiniti double-parked on the corner of 177th Street and 106th Avenue in Jamaica around 10:25 p.m., cops said.
A single shell casing was also found in the car, police sources said.
The gun seized from the Infiniti carries an eight-round clip, but only had three rounds in it when it was found, sources said.
The officers were scanning the area for suspicious activity after the NYPD’s ShotSpotter system detected five gunshots on nearby 109th Avenue around 10 p.m., authorities said.
Hmm. By the way, Post editors, it’s a “magazine,” not a “clip.”
Plus: “She has one prior arrest from 2015, which is sealed.”
