He’s in deep doo-doo now.
An upstate man is accused of swiping plumbing fixtures from eight Queens fast-food joints — including one in Flushing — last month, according to District Attorney Richard Brown.
Alleged plumbing plunderer Richard Mirabile, 44, waltzed into the greasy spoons and went straight for the john, where he used a wrench and screwdriver to pry off automatic flushing mechanisms worth roughly $250 each before hauling them out in a black bag, Brown’s office charges.
“The defendant in this case stopped into various restaurants in Queens County — not for food, but for toilet-flush fixtures,” Brown said in a statement.
“Bypassing the counter to order a quick meal, the defendant allegedly made a beeline for the restrooms and exited minutes later with toilet flush fixtures stuffed in a bag.”
The accused thief hit eight eateries dating back to Nov. 23, and was eventually busted on Dec. 28, after an Astoria Burger King employee caught him in the act and piped up, according to a criminal complaint.
Mirabile tried to cover his rear — he showed up to each alleged hit in his beat-up, silver Dodge caravan with a mismatched black quarter panel and a plastic bag covering the jalopy’s rear hatch window, the complaint states.
The brazen burglar was visibly drunk or high and spent an hour or more clanging away inside a Ridgewood Wendy’s restroom during one heist, a manager claimed.
“I told him, ‘Hey get out of the bathroom, because a lot of people want to use the bathroom and you have been there for like an hour’ and he was like, ‘I’m not stealing anything. I’m just using the bathroom,’ ” said Lolita Javier, 48, a manager at the Wendy’s on Fresh Pond Road.
“I think he was really high on drugs. He was screaming at us,” she said.
The criminal complaint accuses Mirabile of hitting Javier’s Wendy’s outpost on Nov. 23 and Nov. 26.
Mirabile’s arrest record is flush with 13 prior arrests — including three for alleged drug possession in October.
He was also collared on Nov. 30 for carrying burglar’s tools, on Dec. 4 for grand larceny, and on Dec. 27 — the day before he was caught in the alleged crapper caper — for driving without a license, records show.
His lawyer did not return calls for comment.
