Butterfingers NYC suspect drops gun in front of cops before falling down subway station stairs

This was no criminal mastermind.

Two cops patrolling a Brooklyn subway platform last week were stunned when a strapped-hanger exited a train and dropped loaded Ruger pistol right at their feet.

He scooped it up and ran — and proceeded to fall down a flight of stairs.

The male and female partners eventually caught up to Stanley Spencer, 39, after the 3:30 p.m. fumble on May 2 at the Pennsylvania Avenue Station.

“I bet he was trying to adjust [the gun in his waistband] so they can’t see it and BOOM he drops it,” said retired NYPD detective and John Jay College adjunct professor Michael Alcazar.

With the cops hot on his heels, Spencer fell while while descending the station’s stairs but made it outside and tried to hide the 9mm pistol under a car, according to police and a complaint filed in Brooklyn Criminal Court.

The gun had seven bullets in the magazine, the complaint states.

Spencer was charged with gun possession, police said.

He has 14 prior arrests that are all sealed, police sources said. One of the arrests was for weapon possession, the sources said.

Gun arrests in the city’s subway system are down 28% overall so far this year over the same period in 2024, from 25 to 18, NYPD data show.

Alcazar said additional officers assigned to the subway system by Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch were acting as a deterrent.

“I would attribute the gun arrests being down to the additional officers in the subways,” Alcazar said, noting that the cops are stopping so-called “fare beaters.” “You don’t want to jump a turnstile when you have a gun.”

Maybe it was a Ruger Old Army cap and ball with round lead ball bullets.
