MIDDLE VILLAGE MAN
BUSTED FOR FIRING
SHOTGUN AT GIRLFRIEND
HAD HEROIN STASH IN
APARTMENT: COPS
A Middle Village man who allegedly
fi red a shotgun at his girlfriend during
an argument had quite a stash of weapons
and drugs in his apartment, law
enforcement sources said.
Lawrence Santucci, 45, got into the
spat with the unidentifi ed woman at
her home on 68th Avenue near 75th
Street at about 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 29,
according to the Queens District Attorney’s
offi ce.
Prosecutors said Santucci left the
residence and returned moments later
carrying a shotgun. A nearby security
camera captured footage of Santucci
allegedly carrying the weapon, then
pointing it at the woman.
The criminal complaint noted that
Santucci allegedly fi red a shot during
the incident, which struck a window
frame and the siding of the house. Police
recovered shotgun pellets at the scene.
Members of the 104th Precinct Detective
Squad tracked down Santucci at his home,
which is also on 68th Avenue. He allegedly
told them that he had purchased the
shotgun and wanted to try it out. During
their visit, police observed a Mossberg
500A 12-gauge shotgun in a closet, as
well as a quantity of heroin in plain view.
The NYPD subsequently obtained and
executed a search warrant on Oct. 29 to
fully search Santucci’s residence. In
doing so, the criminal complaint noted,
police recovered 70 glassine envelopes
containing heroin located inside an
open safe within a wardrobe closet; 10
glassine envelopes of heroin inside a TV
stand drawer; a sword from the living
room; a machete from the bedroom; and
nine rounds of 12-gauge ammunition.
Santucci was charged with criminal
possession of a controlled substance;
menacing; reckless endangerment;
and three counts of criminal possession
of a weapon.
According to a spokesperson for
Queens District Attorney Richard
A. Brown, Santucci remains held on
$35,000 bond or $25,000 cash. He is
scheduled to return to court on Nov. 13.
Captain John Mastronardi, commander
