A drug-dealing drifter šŸøwas busted for turnstile jumping in The Bronx ā€” hią¹„s 203rd arrest across 15 states, authorities said

Steven Wright, 45, earned his seventh arrest in New York at around 2:15 p.m. Tuesday when cops caught him jumping a turnstile ā€” with an open 24-oz. Keystone Light beer in hand ā€” at the VšŸ’«an Cortlandt Park-242nd Street station in Riverdale, law-enforcemenš“†t sources said.

Wrightā€™s lengthy rap sheet, whichšŸ…° starts with a 1994 DUI bust in Georgia, includes 75 arrests in 11 years in Florida ā€” mostly for disorderly conduct and marijuana possession. In Honolulu, two of Wrightā€™s 31 arrests were for sexual assault in 2009, documents state.

He also was collared 35 times iā™n California and at least 11 times in Nevada ā€” for charges that include grand larceny in 2004 and 2005.

Wright was sent to Rikers Island for five days after pleading guilty to theftšŸ”Æ of services on Wednesday in Bronx Criminal Court, authorities sšŸ”Æaid.

ā€œHe clearly likes to travel, tš’‰°oo ā€” but I guess he only travels to see the inside of a jail cell,ā€ a source cracked.
