NYPD Officer Arrested 3 Times Resigns: Stacey Staniland Quits Force After Latest Arrest

New York Police Department officer Stacey Staniland has quit her job after a wild eight months or so of trouble. The NYPD officer was arrested three times and she’s resigned now. The 29-year-old is facing multiple charges after the three arrests, and now she’ll be looking for a new job as well.

The New York Daily News shares the details on the resignation of the NYPD officer arrested three times in just a matter of months. Stacey Staniland was arrested once for burglary and twice for drug possession since December 2014. She was suspended after each incident, but it wasn’t until now that she left the job entirely.

The most recent incident took place on July 1 when Staniland crashed her motorcycle and officers found her with a controlled substance and a hypodermic needle. As was previously reported by the Inquisitr, this last incident happened when Staniland crashed into two vehicles that were at a stoplight in Staten Island. Reports indicate that she had been sniffing glue shortly before the crash as well.

When Staniland was approached by officers after the accident, authorities saw the paraphernalia in her purse as she reached for her identification. In addition to clonazepam, which she didn’t have a prescription for, Staniland also had a needle, a syringe, and a silver spoon, and there was drug residue in the purse. In addition, Staniland’s motorcycle didn’t have plates and was unregistered.

The former NYPD officer’s first arrest came when she allegedly stole jewelry from the home of her boyfriend’s mother last December. SI Live shared that Stacey pawned the items at a local pawn shop, and she was found to have taken other jewelry items to the same shop earlier in 2014. She was charged with second- and third-degree felony burglary charges for the incident, and she’s also facing possession of stolen property and petit larceny misdemeanor charges in the case.

In May, Staniland was arrested again, this time on drug charges in Brooklyn. An Internal Affairs Bureau investigation was initiated on her at this point, and this incident led to charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance and possession of a hypodermic instrument, noted SI Live.

Staniland, who seemingly dubbed herself “Little Miss Dangerous,” reportedly quit her job the day after this most recent arrest, shares the New York Post. It seems that Staniland’s career is hitting a definite rough patch now that the NYPD officer arrested three times has resigned, and she now has three suspensions on her work record and multiple charges ahead of her to wade through.
