Arrested, but won’t face music

- John Annese

A BROOKLYN woman was arrested for harassing musicians gearing for the weekend’s New York Caribbean Carnival and other activities, but the charges didn’t stick, authoritie­s said Thursday.

Kathleen Reilly, 63, who regularly files noise complaints about loud music was accused of holding an iPad up and recording peoples’ faces at Pacific Gardens — a lot on Pacific St. by Classon Ave. at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, cops said.

She “disregarde­d direct orders from officers on scene to stop harassing the individual­s,” and made 911 calls falsely claiming a large disorderly group gathered there, an NYPD spokesman said.

Reilly was charged with harassment, falsely reporting an incident, disorderly conduct and obstructin­g government­al administra­tion, according to police.

Prosecutor­s declined to pursue the case against her on Thursday, court officials said. Attempts to reach her for comment were unsuccessf­ul.
