Bayside cops arrest two men for drugs, weapons
BY JENNA BAGCAL
The top cop at Bayside’s
111th Precinct helped
his fellow officers cuff
two Jamaica men earlier
this month on a slew
of illegal drug and gun
possession charges.
According to authorities,
officers from the command
on Northern Boulevard
arrested 31-year-old Wilmer
Clotter and 63-year-old Rafael
Toscano on Aug. 15.
An NYPD spokesperson
said that day tour and
plainclothes officers
apprehended the suspects
in the rear of Infiniti of
Bayside at 217-07 Northern
Blvd. just before 1 p.m.
Cops then arrested the pair
and brought them to the
precinct around 3:17 p.m.
that afternoon.
Law enforcement sources
noted that Captain John
Hall, commander of the 111th
Precinct, helped facilitate
the arrest.
Police charged Clotter and
with second-degree criminal
possession of a loaded firearm,
third-degree criminal
possession of a defaced
weapon, criminal possession
of a firearm, fourth-degree
criminal possession of a
firearm or weapon, seventhdegree
criminal possession
of a controlled substance
and third-degree aggravated
unlicensed operation of a
motor vehicle.
Clotter’s accomplice
Toscano faced the same four
criminal weapons charges
in addition to fifth-degree
criminal possession of a
controlled substance with 10
counts of intent to sell.
The NYPD praised police
from the Bayside-based
precinct for getting illegal
firearms and drugs off
the streets.
“Illegal firearm and
drugs? Not on this team’s
watch,” the NYPD official
account tweeted on Aug.
23. “The @NYPD111Pct day
tour patrol and Anti-Crime
team got an assist from their
Commanding Officer to make
sure these dangerous items
didn’t make it to the streets
of Queens.”
