NYPD cop arrested for third time in less than a year: police

An NYPD officer had been arrested three times in less than a year, police say.

Stacey Staniland, 29, was most recently arrested Tuesday night after crashing a motorcycle in Staten Island, cops said. She is charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, possession of a hypodermic needle and driving an unregistered motorcycle.

Cops spotted the drug paraphernalia when Staniland reached into her bag to get identification, according to police.

In December, Staniland broke into the Staten Island home of her mother’s boyfriend and stole jewelry, which she later pawned, police said. She was arrested soon after.

She was again arrested in May on charges of possession of a hypodermic needle and criminal possession of a controlled substance, police said.

Staniland was temporarily suspended after the first two incidents, which are still working their way through the courts.

Police said Staniland would be suspended again on the most recent arrest.
