Nov. trial for gal in subway bugout
A WOMAN WHO caused chaos by hurling hundreds of crickets in a crowded subway car will go on trial for her crazy stunt in Brooklyn on Nov. 14.
Zaida Pugh faces misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment, obstruction, falsely reporting an incident and disorderly conduct. The trial date was set Monday.
Pugh, 22, was busted in August 2016 for pretending to be a homeless woman selling 300 crickets and 300 worms on a Brooklynbound D train. She then opened the jar, sending the critters scurrying.
A panicked straphanger pulled the emergency brake, trapping the train on the Manhattan Bridge.
Pugh, of the Bronx, and two other cohorts conspired for the cell phone-recorded mayhem. If convicted, the stunt could land her on Rikers Island for up to a year. Charges were dismissed against one of her cohorts, while the other pleaded guilty to his role in the prank.
