Parolee arrest really (r)ankles

‘Shot pal’ wearing monitor

A career criminal on parole was busted this week for allegedly wounding an acquaintance in a Queens shooting — while wearing an ankle monitor, according to law enforcement sources.

Tyquinn Thompson, 28 — who has been arrested several times since he’s been on parole — allegedly blasted a 37-year-old man in the kneecap just after midnight Oct. 27 on Beach Channel Drive near Beach 54th Street in Far Rockaway, police said.

The wounded man was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.

Thompson, who sources say was wearing the monitoring device required for his parole, was also holding what appeared to be a bottle of Hennessy during the shooting, according to his criminal complaint.

He fled the scene, but was picked up at his Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, home Thursday, cops said.

Cops initially slapped him with an attempted murder charge, but upon arraignment Friday, that count was removed and the top charge was firstdegree assault.

Thompson was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment, prosecutors said.

He was ordered held without bail during his Friday appearance in Queens Criminal Court.

Lock him up!

“This is a perfect example of a guy who should not have been on the street,” a Queens cop told The Post. “The laws need to be changed. You can’t keep giving career criminals chances.”

Thompson served more than five years — from February 2017 until June 2021 — in the Queensboro Correctional Facility on burglary and robbery convictions before being paroled, records show.

Since then, he has continued to rack up arrests, authorities said.

He was busted on Oct. 18, 2022, for aggravated contempt and criminal contempt — both domestic-violence-related, police said.

He was next arrested and charged with strangulation on Feb. 2 of this year, cops said. Then on Aug. 23, he was nabbed in connection with a domestic-related incident from March 23 in Manhattan, according to police and online records.

In that case, he was arraigned on charges that include stalking and harassment, according to a criminal complaint.

He was granted supervised release, according to the Manhattan DA’s Office.

Also on Aug. 23, he was charged in another Manhattan domestic-related incident from April 10, in which he allegedly assaulted a woman and stole her phone.

Despite prosecutors’ request for $35,000 bail, the judge also granted supervised release in that case.
