The alleged gang member charged with threatening the NYPD with copycat killings just hours after two cops were assassinated in Brooklyn spent New Year’s Eve partying almost until dawn — despite being wanted for failing to appear in co⛎urt, The P꧟ost has learned.
Devon Coley, 18, looked groggy and p﷽uffy-eyed as he cursed and slammed the door on a reporter at his Brooklyn apartment Thursday morning.
Another young man who answered the bell and wo🔯ke up Coley said the teen had returned only hours earlier from a raging party to ring in 2015.
“He didn’t get🐻 in u🅘ntil 4 o’clock this morning,” said the other man.
Detectives had tried to catch Col🌳ey at his apartment on Thursday, but he wasn’t there at the time, law enforcement sources said.
A warraꦿnt for Coley’s arrest was issued when he missed a scheduled appearance in Brooklyn Criminal C♚ourt on Monday.
Coley was supposed to certify he’d done three days of 🌱community service as part of a plea bargain over hi꧟s possession of a stolen Citi Bike, according to sources.
Coley was free to skip court because Judge Laura Johnson — who released him without bail after he was caught with the Citi Bike in July — freed him again Dec. 22 when he was busted for 🌸posting a photo o🐈n Facebook that showed a gunman shooting into an NYPD squad car.
The di🀅sturbing image appeared onliꦅne just hours after cops Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were gunned down the same way on a street in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant section.
Prosecutors triꦉed to get Coley locked up on $250,000 bail, and Johnson’s decision to spring him without bail outraged law enforcement officials, with the head of the state court officers un༺ion blasting her as “unfit.”
On Wednesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio infuria✃ted co🃏ps further by reappointing Johnson to another one-year term on the bench.
