Maybe he thought it was bring-your-gun-to-court day🤪.
A convicted killer scheduled to appear in Brooklyn Supreme Court on charges that he broke a man’s arm with a baseball bat tried to sneak a loaded ♍gun into the courthouse Wednesday, authorities said.
Terrance Washington, 41, put a bag holding a .22-caliber semiautomℱatic handgun on the conveyer belt of a metal det🤡ector, sources said.
Alert court officers at the X-ray ⛎monitor spotted the weapon — which contained a live round — and quickly handcuffed the thi🍸ck-headed thug.
“They’re calleಌd metal detectors. Du꧑h!” a court officer said.
“A search revealed the firearm, which he had no permit for, and he was arrested,” Michael Magliano, chief of citywide court operations, t💜old The Post.
Washingt💛on was arrested on the gun rap and missed his original court appearance while being processed on the new charges in Criminal Court.
Last year, Washing📖ton was arrested near his home in the Kensington section for alle🍃gedly breaking a man’s arm with a metal baseball bat during an argument over fireworks, court papers state.
Washington also has past arrests for burglary and served a ⛦state prison stint on a drug rap.
“How much weed would you have to smoke to forget you have a loaded gun in your bag? Th🍎at’s in🐻sane,” asked a court source.
“They found a firearm at the magnetometers and it was loaded,” said Pat♍r🐼ick Cullen, president of the state Supreme Court officers association.
“In light of what’s going on in the country wit🐈h all the protests focused on law enforcement, right now law-enforcement officers need to be especially vigilant,” he added.
The single live round in𓆏 the gun was lodged in the barrel, authorities said.﷽ It was unclear whether the weapon could have been immediately fired.
In 1989 🌟at💮 age 16, Washington pleaded guilty to fatally shooting a rival drug dealer in Flatbush, law-enforcement sources said.
Because he was charged as a juvenile, Washington was sentenced to just five years to life behind bars and was paroled in 1996 — alt🍌hough he was tossed back in prison twice for parole violations.
