Mr. Foreign is lucky they didn’t shoot him
Here is a piece of advice if you are carrying a stolen gun don’t park in no parking zones.
Maxie Ryles III had left his 2018 Mercedes Benz running in a no-parking zone on Lemoine Avenue at Bruce Reynolds Boulevard as he went into the nearby Citibank around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Capt. Ricky Mirkovic said.
Sgt. Howard Ginsburg requested Ryles’s driver’s license as he approached the vehicle and asked whether he was getting a ticket, Mirkovic said.
Instead of complying, Ryles simply walked away, he said.
The sergeant stayed with the running vehicle while backup Officer Gabriel Avella tracked down a jaywalking Ryles a block away, Mikovic said.
Avella repeatedly asked Ryles to stop so he could speak with him, the captain said.
Ryles “acknowledged but ignored him and continued to walk away,” then began running toward The Modern luxury apartments on Park Avenue, he said.
Avella grabbed him the parking garage as a loaded .25-caliber handgun fell from Ryles’s waistband, Mirkovic said.
He is being charged for the gun.
He is currently still in jail.
