Wow! Eric Reynolds, a former NYPD Detective left his Colt. 38 on the sink in a bar bathroom in the East Village while he was throwing up! After vomiting he stumbled out of the bar and went along his merry way! Of course when he went back the pistol was gone. This could have been avoided, now he has to deal with the NYPD! Check out the deets!
The boozing caught up with the cop-turned-stand-up comedian and he went to the bathroom.
Reynolds placed his cellphone and pistol on the sink while worshipping the porcelain god, picking only the phone back up when he took off at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, the sources said.
He and a buddy had made it all the way to Union Square when Reynolds patted his gun holster and realized his epic mistake.The retiree sprinted back to the watering hole only to find that someone had stolen the weapon. He called police to report the lost pistol and told cops he “was not feeling well,” the sources said.
Cops are checking surveillance-camera footage to find the thief, and the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau was notified.
Reynolds has not been charged with a crime for misplacing the weapon, cops said.
An owner of Phoenix NYC was forgiving. “We all make mistakes. Maybe he had been drinking. He made a mistake,” said the woman, who would not give her name. “Maybe he shouldn’t have brought a gun with him.”
Reynolds served two decades with the NYPD, including at the 49th Precinct in Eastchester section of The Bronx.
