Officers checked his driving record and found that his license had been revoked or suspended 25 times in the past. During a search, police found in White’s possession an imitation pistol that resembled a black 9mm semi-automatic pistol contained in a holster affixed to his pants. But the fake pistol wasn’t the end of White’s wannabe cop arsenal, authorities said. Officers also found in White’s possession a gravity knife, an expendable metal baton, metal knuckles and handcuffs. Police also recovered two pistol magazines containing 10 9mm hollow point rounds as well as a stunned gun from his waist. White is being changed with criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree; unauthorized possession of imitation pistol and revolver immunization; aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle according to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown. Four wanted for mugging a man in Ridgewood Police released on Sunday night images and a video of four individuals who allegedly beat down and robbed a 52-year-old man at a Ridgewood intersection last week. The mugging took place at 9:48 p.m. on March 31 in the area of Putnam and Seneca avenues. According to authorities, the suspects — two Hispanic males and two Hispanic females, all between 20 and 25 years old — approached the victim and punched and kicked him in the face and head numerous times. The group then went through the man’s pockets and removed his belongings. During the attack, police said, the suspects knocked the man to the ground; he briefly lost consciousness. Officers from the 104th Precinct and EMS units responded to the incident. The victim was brought to Elmhurst Hospital in critical but stable condition. Police said one of the male suspects stands 5 foot 8 inches tall and has a tattoo on his right forearm. He was last observed wearing a light-colored hooded jacket, light-colored pants and a light-colored T-shirt. The other male perpetrator was last seen wearing a black and blue baseball cap, a black hooded sweatshirt, beige pants and dark-colored sneakers.
