Back in 2007, cops raided the Bronx home of Alcy Rosario, 27, as he and two accomplices loaded 50 kilos of cocaine—with a street value of $20 million—into duffel bags. Police collared his two partners, but Rosario escaped by running away and jumping into the Bronx River. City Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan tells the Post "they never found the body, but they were always checking to see if he might be around," and cops were regularly seen staking out his building. Well, it turns out Rosario actually survived his suicidal plunge in the river, and even went on to lead a life of carefree recreation. On Saturday night, he finally surfaced, after police were alerted to a group of men riding all-terrain vehicles through Van Cortlandt Park. It's unclear why Rosario didn't harness his mutant Bronx River powers to fight off the cops—he's refusing to speak to investigators. He faces charges that could land him eight to 20 years behind bars; his accomplices pleaded guilty after the 2007 arrest and are currently serving seven-year sentences in state prison.

And the parade of stupid criminals continues.
he got away from something like that and then stayed in new york?
And rode ATVs in Van Cortlandt Park? How many old people called and complained about the noise? Hundreds? Idiots.
I heard about this case when I was on the Special Narcotics grand jury. them duffel bags are heavy.
you would think with the money they made dealing, they would at least buy some land somewhere and play with their toys day and night.
Serious idiocy. You got away and didn't go and live the rest of your years in luxury in Costa Rica, St. Lucia, or (fill in resort island here)?
that's one badass dumbass.
you're wanted for something that could land you 8 to 20 years, and you're brazen enough to ride ATV's in a public park, in the same state, in the same city, in the same borough?! you can't manage to lay low and obey laws when even a mere interaction with the PD will land you in jail? stupider than O.J.
They always come back. Always.
My father was in narco-interdiction in the early 80's in the NYPD and the same thing happened with one of the kingpins he took down in Brooklyn. He knew the heat was on him so he fled the country back to Colombia. Well make a long story short, about a year and a half later all the undercovers were sitting in the same neighborhood pizza shop that dude used to live in before he skipped and wouldn't you know it..Mr. Kingpin comes back in for a slice and they nab him on the spot.
My Dad said he did it for the pussy. He couldn't resist coming back to see his girl and hang out in the neighborhood.
A suicidal plunge into the Bronx river??
Most of its like 20 feet wide and only a few feet deep. How did they not find him after he jumped in? Was it at night?
