Weiner tries to pull out of sentencing
A TOP city jail official is under investigation for ordering a personal security detail at her home after she started feuding with her 14-year-old neighbor, who flew a drone over her home.
Shirvahna Gobin, 37, assigned a team of specialized city jail officers — who were on duty — to sit outside her Nassau County home last month, jail sources say.
Gobin, the department's $187,000-a-year deputy commissioner of strategic planning and management, was worried her neighbors, the Delgado family, would try to physically harm her, jail sources said.
She was given a panic button to notify officers in two black unmarked Correction Department vans, a jail source familiar with the detail said.
They appeared to stay outside her home from the early evening on July 19 until 1 p.m. the next day, neighbors said.
But jail staffers are only entitled to personal protection for a threat from a former inmate.
As a result, the detail was yanked as soon as acting Correction Commissioner Cynthia Brann heard about it, said department spokesman Peter Thorne.
Brann referred it to the city’s Department of Investigation, which is investigating the matter, sources said.
“DOI is aware of the matter and declines further comment,” spokeswoman said.
City officials would not say when the detail started, how many officers were involved, and when it ended.
The officers were moved to the Long Island location at a time when violence in the city’s scandal-scarred jail system continues to spike. At the same time, officer overtime has exploded to historic highs of over $150 million a year, budget documents show.
The neighborly feud began in April when Shea Delgado, 14, flew a drone over Gobin’s home in Bellmore, according to the Delgado family.
Gobin, who moved to the area in September, started a petition to ban drones and called authorities to report the incident.
But the spat escalated. Nicole Turso
Police have been called to the location at least 14 times, according to neighbors.
One of those times, officers ordered the boy to stop flying the drone over her property, his mother, Debbie Delgado, said.
The bad blood between the two families erupted on July 19 when Shea and his father were arrested following complaints by Gobin.
The boy was charged with damaging Gobin’s property by splashing one of her security cameras. Under a plea agreement, he was ordered to pay $189 for a new one and complete 18 hours of community service, his mother said.
His father, Ron Delgado, 53, was charged with stalking and harassing her six weeks earlier. Delgado, who has no prior criminal record, vehemently denies the charges. The case is pending. PERVY POL Anthony Weiner wants to reschedule his sentencing for texting an underage teen, a new court document indicates.
The serial sexter pleaded guilty on May 19 to transmitting obscene material to a minor, and his sentencing was set for Sept. 8.
In a letter Thursday, his lawyer asked Manhattan Federal Judge Denise Cote to reschedule sentencing to Oct. 6 so they have more time to review officials’ sentencing recommendations, and “fashion a sentencing recommendation that best addresses the need for continuing treatment.”
Weiner’s long-suffering wife, Huma Abedin, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, filed for divorce the same day he copped to creepy correspondence with a teen victim.
They were originally supposed to make a court appearance in June for arguments on anonymity in the divorce case, but that hearing was rescheduled to Sept. 13.
In the papers, Weiner’s lawyer, Arlo Devlin-Brown, does not refer to Weiner’s marital woes, nor does he say this request is divorce-related.
