Posted: March 25th, 2008 | Filed under: Brooklyn, Law & OrderA Sing Sing prison guard has been busted for allegedly using his state-issued revolver to carjack three strangers in Brooklyn, The Post has learned.
Brian Duran, 46, was arrested Sunday at 12:20 a.m. after one victim flagged down a patrol car.
Duran allegedly smashed in the rear window of a Ford Taurus parked at 100 Bushwick Ave. in Williamsburg.
Sources said the three friends were waiting for a fourth when Duran, who had been standing at a bus stop, suddenly came over.
“What’s your f- – -ing problem?” driver Anthony Peña, 23, quoted him as yelling.
“Nobody has a problem. Just go about your business,” he was told.
To which Duran allegedly countered, “I’m going to show you a problem!” — as he pulled his state-issued Smith & Wesson and struck the window so hard that he dropped the gun inside the car.
Said Peña: “I got out and hid on the side and said, ‘What are you, crazy?’ ”
. . .
Duran, suspended without pay, was arraigned Sunday on charges of grand and petty larceny, menacing, criminal mischief, criminal possession of stolen property, and unauthorized use of a vehicle.
His estranged wife, who declined to give her name, was at a loss to explain his actions.
“There has to be more of this story. He’s never done anything like this,” she said. “I just can’t believe it. This has to be an [early] April Fool’s joke.”
