A selfie-obsessed Brooklyn gun nut all but wrote his own arrest warrant on his Facebook page — posting pictures of himself holding a semiautomatic and threatening a school crossing guard who “snitched” on him, authorities said Tuesday.
Nickolaus Daley, 24, posted pictures of the gun, outlining robbery plans and even taunting the woman who called cops on him, according to a Brooklyn federal court complaint.
Daley, who has a prior felony rap from Connecticut, was arrested by NYPD cops last week for allegedly threatening the off-duty school officer with a black gun in front of his East Flatbush home after a dispute, court papers state.
Cops found ammo and drug paraphernalia in his apartment after a search but couldn’t locate the firearm, papers state.
Daley was released on bail after pleading not guilty to gun possession and menacing.
Because of his prior felony conviction, the fresh gun rap automatically became a federal count and US Marshals began preparing a criminal complaint that included a Facebook sweep.
According to court papers, Daley — who posted as “Nick Janet” — did his best to assist with their investigation with a series of self-incriminating online posts.
Just three days after his arrest last Monday, Daley blabbed that he got arrested on a gun rap and was forced “to stash at my bro Sheldon’s crib,” according to court papers.
“Had to let you n—z know I still got my gun an its in a safe place now,” he declared.
He accompanied the ill-advised screed with a picture of a gun and a pair of ammo clips.
Despite facing heavy time for menacing the crossing guard, Daley apparently couldn’t help himself and profanely threatened the woman on his Facebook page after his arrest.
“I could tell she not book smart or smart period because look at dat bitch career choice,” Daley ranted in a grammar-challenged online screed while posting a separate picture of a car that might belong to the victim. “She got a bull—- job for an occupation … shoulda stayed in school.”
The feds refer heavily to Daley’s Facebook rants in their complaint against him. “I further believe that by referring to the victim as a ‘snitch’ and posting the photographs of himself holding the firearm and a photograph of a car that might belong to the victim … the defendant was threatening the victim with death or other violence,” wrote FBI Special Agent Michael Heffernan.
Despite Daley’s social-media assist, the gun has not been located, according to a federal law enforcement source. New search warrants are still being executed in an effort to locate it.
Daley was arraigned in Brooklyn federal court Friday in front of Judge Viktor Pohorelsky and remains behind bars pending a bail hearing.
Daley’s court-appointed attorney, James Roth, didn’t comment on the case other than to say that he would fight the charges.
