According to WCBS 2, "Anthony Cibelli, 24, and Juan Pagan, 25, were charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon for an explosive device and firearm, Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance and Criminal Possession of Marijuana." more ›

It seems that there are two sides to every transsexual porn star date-gone-awry story. Kayla Coxx, a "sultry transsexual porn star from LA" best known for hocking a video of her hanging with Charlie Sheen, had called the cops on artist Allan D. Hasty just before New Years, alleging that he stiffed her on her "date" fee, and that he had live grenades, guns, and drugs all over his apartment. But Hasty spoke with Scallywag and Vagabond, and gave his own rundown of the evening in question, which paints a slightly different picture of Coxx as an "extortionist meth head tranny porn star." more ›

On December 29th, the NYPD Bomb Squad evacuated a six-story residential building on the Lower East Side in the middle of the night because one of the residents was allegedly armed to the teeth with grenades, firearms, and other heavy artillery. Why is the NY Post telling us about this now? Because the person who called in the report was "blond bombshell" Kayla Coxx, a "sultry transsexual porn star from LA." We'll have to take the tabloid's word on her star status, because we refuse to start our day by Googling "transsexual Kayla Coxx." (We save our transsexual porn browsing for lunch hour.) more ›

You can't just have a quaint little gun buyback event anymore. Someone has to ruin all the fun with a live hand grenade. The New Gospel Temple Church of God in Christ (all one name) in the Bronx was hosting the buyback yesterday where local residents were invited to turn in their firearms for $200 bank cards, no questions asked. But apparently around 1:30 p.m., there was a question that had to be asked to one —specifically, "is that a hand grenade?" That was then followed by "can someone call the Bomb Squad?" and then finally "would everyone please exit the building as quickly as possible?" After carting out the "improvised hand grenade," the NYPD held the man responsible, whom the Daily News calls "a dimwit," but it doesn't appear he'll be charged with anything. There was no indication as to whether he will receive payment for the explosive. Just Friday night, Bryant Park was closed for an hour when a man was attempting to sell another (?) grenade. more ›

A deal with an undercover operative quickly turned deadly yesterday for a man looking to sell a hand grenade in the Bronx. Federal agents and an NYPD detective were monitoring a conversation being held in a car yesterday between the grenade seller and operative. It was not expected the seller would have the grenade on him at the time, so when he produced it, agents rushed the scene in the interest of public safety. The... more ›
