In a wild crossover of duty and delivery, a New Jersey police officer seamlessly transitioned from apprehending an Uber Eats driver to completing the food delivery, finding himself on the front porch of a home belonging to none other than “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki. Officers Mike Zvolensky and Alex Tredy, with the Florham Park Police Department, were out on routine patrol on Jan. 21 when the bizarre sequence of events unfolded, WABC reported Friday. They initiated a traffic stop around 8:30 p.m. that night, after a random license plate search revealed the driver had an outstanding traffic warrant......

As more than $50 billion makes its way to state and local governments to compensate for the opioid epidemic, people with high hopes for the money are already fighting over a little-known bureaucratic arm of the process: state councils that wield immense power over how the cash is spent. In 14 states, these councils have the ultimate say on the money, which comes from companies that made, distributed, or sold opioid painkillers, including Purdue Pharma, Johnson & Johnson, and Walmart. In 24 other states, plus Washington, D.C., the councils establish budget priorities and make recommendations. T......

MIAMI — Ivanka didn’t inherit it. Not that a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment would suit her needs. Her mother, Ivana Trump, who died last July after a fall from her staircase at her NYC townhouse, left her Miami Beach condo to someone else — and this person wasn’t blood.

In later years, Curry, who was also bequeathed Ivana’s beloved Yorkshire terrier Tiger, became Ivana’s person......

To these New York Police Department detectives, New York City is one giant “Where’s Waldo?” game. Armed with cyber savvy, hunters’ instincts and a love for solving puzzles, the Manhattan North Homicide and Shooting Enhancement Team has helped close some of the city’s biggest criminal cases by painstakingly tracking suspects through surveillance video — sometimes right to the wanted person’s home. The squad’s success led the NYPD to establish similar operations in other boroughs, said Sgt. Mackenson Nelson, who in 2020 assembled the Manhattan North team. The unit is based in NYPD offices in Har......

Taylor Swift fans who are registered as “verified” may have a second shot at tickets to her “Eras Tour” as Ticketmaster tries to make things right after its website crashed last month amid an onslaught of orders. Those verified fans were informed by email Monday that they would be individually invited to put dibs on a purchase request by Dec. 23, with a two-ticket limit. The move came after the singer’s team urged the seller to make up for crashing when fans flooded the website seeking tickets. “You were identified as a fan who received a boost during the Verified Fan presale but did not purch......

SantaCon reveler Chris Paprocky wore the requisite red suit but passed on the white beard. “I don’t want it to interfere what I’m doing,” the Long Islander explained Saturday on Eighth Ave. “Eating! Drinking!” The annual booze-fueled celebration of the upcoming Christmas holiday started early for the 22-year-old from Stony Brook, who grabbed his first drink on the train into Manhattan around 9 a.m. “Just for the special occasion,” said Paprocky, accompanied by five friends. “Just some Michelob Ultras. Just keeping it light.” The event, billed on its website as “a charitable, non-political, non......
