NYC Corrections, cops help give away hundreds of bikes to needy kids: ‘It keeps the positivity going'

They're braking cycles! Hundreds of needy Big Apple kids got free bikes at an event hosted by city Corrections officers and the NYPD on Friday — as parents from hardscrabble areas gushed that the giveaway helped youngsters feel less fearful of figures in uniform. Roughly 400 kids and teens got brand-new bicycles, donated by Department of Corrections workers, at the event dubbed 'Christmas in July' at JHS 231 in Springfield Gardens, Queens. 3 Around 400 children living across the Big Apple received free bikes at an event hosted by the NYPD, along with the Department of Corrections, on Friday. James Messerschmidt NYPD workers provided the venue — the department's summer youth police academy — and helped teach bike safety. 'It keeps the positivity going in the neighborhood, you know, it's a good thing to see NYPD, Corrections [doing this],' said Michelle Pemberton, a 55-year-old DMV worker, whose grandsons got bikes at the event. 'Children grow up and usually look at these kind of figures and think of fear, and [authorities are] opening the door up to brightness for them and showing them that there's positive, like models from these agencies,' she said. 'It's a good thing.' Keyarah Robinson, 17, scored a turquoise mountain bike at the giveaway. 'I like it, I like it for my age,' she told The Post. 'It's very good for my height. I don't have to sit here and feel uncomfortable on my bike.' 3 The event, dubbed 'Christmas in July,' took place at JHS 231 in Springfield Gardens, Queens. James Messerschmidt Tazion Authers, 7, landed a blue bike. 'I like this bike because it has blue stuff,' the boy said. The children's mom, Patrice Tucker, 41, a daycare worker who was at the event with her four kids, all of whom got bikes, said, 'It's really nice. 'Merry Christmas,' she said. Detective Tanya Duhaney of the NYPD Community Affairs Bureau said many of the children at the event live at nearby shelters. 3 The majority of the children at the event live in nearby shelters, as Detective Tanya Duhaney of the NYPD Community Affairs Bureau said, 'It is important to let our kids know that we do care about them.' James Messerschmidt 'It is important to let our kids know that we do care about them. It's summertime, and we want to just engage them and also teach them to give back,' she said. 'We're here to do our jobs and at that is to protect and serve. And this is the service part of us giving back and showing these kids that we're not robots. We're human just like them.' Christmas in July, which began in 2018, raked in a total of roughly 700 bikes for kids, the rest of which will be given away at a later date, Duhaney said. The bikes were bought as part of a competition between the city's jails, organizers said. 'It is extremely special for us because one of our most fundamental values is an agency is care, and it's care not only for our staff and people in custody but also for the communities that we serve,' said DOC Commissioner Lynelle Maginley-Liddie. 'Each facility, they challenged each other and made it a real competition, and they were really excited to be able to do that so we could give back to the community,' the commish said. 'One of the things I would just want to point out is, children in our communities, regardless of social status, they should have access to bikes and books and resources that are critical to make sure that they thrive. And as a mom, that's really important. I'm really proud of my bonus family.'

Dallas County Jail inmate faces murder charge after possible fentanyl overdose kills fellow inmate, report says

An inmate at the Dallas County Jail is facing a murder charge after an incident that sent her and three other inmates to the hospital. On Sunday, July 13, investigators said four inmates were taken to Parkland Hospital for a possible overdose. One of the four inmates, 21-year-old Quinnetta Brinkley, died. Just before 8:30 p.m. on July 13, detention officers were conducting "face-to-face" security when several inmates contacted one of the officers to say fellow inmate, 21-year-old Quinnetta Arian Brinkley, was "not moving." The officer found Brinkley lying on the bottom bunk and another inmate, later identified as Cheyanna Mather, 21, was lying on the floor. The report states that both women were unresponsive. As they were being evaluated, several inmates in a different block "began banging on the window," and stated that there were two other inmates who looked like they were about to pass out, according to the affidavit. Those inmates told officers that the "Hispanic girl," later identified as Daisy Zuniga, brought fentanyl with her into the jail, the report states. Zuniga and one of the inmates who witnessed the incident were searched and it was determined both needed medical attention, according to the affidavit. The report states that while at the nurses' station, Zuniga "fell on the floor and started to convulse and vomit." When asked what she took, she replied "fentanyl and bars," according to the affidavit. All four inmates were taken to the hospital by ambulance for fentanyl overdoses. Just before 9:30 p.m., Brinkley was pronounced dead. Several investigators searched the "tank," and a detective found a blue baggy containing a white substance that a field test determined to be fentanyl. Detectives interviewed another inmate who witnessed the incident and said Zuniga had Xanax bars, or "ice," and fentanyl and gave it to the two other hospitalized inmates and Brinkley. That inmate reportedly told the detectives the four women ingested the drugs "once between lunch and dinner, then after dinner, and that was when the victim became unresponsive." Another inmate who witnessed the incident told a similar story; however, she did not see the second time the group reportedly ingested the drugs. After being released from the hospital and returned to jail, Zuniga was interviewed by detectives. She reportedly told them that she hid the plastic baggy on herself when Dallas police approached her for trespassing on July 11. Zuniga said she made it through the X-ray scanner and a strip search without the drugs being detected, according to the report. Detectives said she also told them that she "shared" the drugs with the three other inmates. Investigators said when Zuniga was first arrested on July 11 for trespassing, she was found in possession of cocaine. Zuniga is now charged in connection with Brinkley's death.

Family teams up for arcade robbery, with mom as the getaway driver, FL cops say

A family outing turned criminal when a man decided to rob an arcade and used his mom as the getaway driver, according to investigators in Florida. It happened Friday, July 18, at the Kings World Arcade in Fort Myers, and investigators say surveillance video led to the duo's capture days later. 'This family took game night way too seriously,' the Lee County Sheriff's Office wrote in a July 23 news release 'Witnesses reported a man entered the business, held the cashier at gun point, and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses captured the suspect running and jumping into a RAV4.' Sheriff's office analysts used Department of Transportation footage and license plate reader data to identify the vehicle's driver as Yideyla Suarez Cedeno, 43, of Cape Coral, officials said. She was arrested Tuesday, July 22, and 'her son 22-year-old Jose Baez Surez, was also on scene and detained,' the sheriff's office said. 'Following an investigation by Violent Crimes Detectives, it was determined that Jose Suarez entered the arcade, demanded money and fled while his mother waited nearby, acting as the getaway driver,' officials said. 'Deputies recovered clothing along with a black BB gun, resembling the handgun used in the robbery.' The mother and son have both been charged with robbery, officials said. Fort Myers is about a 125-mile drive southeast from Tampa.
