Ex-con pastor an Adams man

The Brooklyn pastor who on Tuesday made a failed attempt at arranging the alleged Q-train shooter’s surrender is an ex-convict with ties to Mayor Adams, with whom the clergyman claimed to have spoken while the suspect was on the loose.

Rolls-Royce-driving Bishop Lamor Whitehead (above) served a five-year prison sentence for multiple counts of identity fraud and grand larceny and was released in 2013, before forming a relationship with Adams, then the Brooklyn borough president.

Whitehead, of Leaders of Tomorrow International Churches in Canarsie, appeared at more than a dozen high-profile events with Adams during the mayor’s 2013-2021 borough president stint.

The Post reported in 2016 that Whitehead had been helped by public support from Adams, who introduced him at a concert that year in East Flatbush as “my good friend and good brother.”

Whitehead used the local political limelight to tout his group’s mentorship programs.

In November 2014, the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office sent Whitehead a cease-and-desist letter after he promoted a collaborative-justice initiative with the prosecutor who didn’t actually exist.

The NYPD and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce also pushed back against Whitehead’s claims that they were partnering with his group on specific initiatives.

Adams stood by Whitehead, comparing the clergy member’s checkered history to Adams’ own arrest as a teenager, when he was brutally beaten by NYPD officers inside a police station house.

“I was arrested at 15 years old . . . and because people embraced me when I was arrested, I embrace Lamor Whitehead,” Adams said at a November 2016 press conference in Brooklyn.

On Tuesday, Whitehead said that he had spoken to Adams directly about the surrender of subway shooting suspect Andrew Abdullah.

When asked about it, Adams would not confirm or deny the talks.
