William Hotz

Here’s one guy who allegedly did a lot more than scream for his ice cream.

A 59-year-old man was arrested for robbing a $3.50 ice cream cone from the Carvel about a mile from his Valley Stream home on Wednesday morning, Nassau County police said.

William Hotz walked into the store on Dutch Broadway, placed his order and then gave the clerk a coupon for “One Free Ice Cream Cone,” but the 55-year-old woman behind the counter told him it was expired and he had to pay, police said.

Hotz turned around and walked out of the store exit without paying and then punched the victim several times in the face when she chased the suspect down and confronted him, police said.

When officers arrived, the alleged ice-cream thief refused to be handcuffed, flailed his arms and twisted his body before eventually being taken into custody, police said.

The victim declined medical treatment for a laceration and swelling to her lip. The suspect apparently missed free ice cream day at Carvel last week.

Hotz was charged with robbery and resisting arrest. He will be arraigned Thursday at First District Court in Hempstead.

Carlos Nunez, 37, of Valley Stream, was picking up a fare when he was shot in the face at the corner of Decatur Street and Irving Avenue in Bushwick shortly before 1 a.m. Monday. He then crashed his vehicle into several parked cars.

He was pronounced dead shortly later at Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center.

NYPD investigators believe he may have been targeted. Authorities are offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

Nassau County police arrested Douglas Dukofsky and charged him with forcible touching on Sunday.

Police said the 43-year-old Merrick man was using the device on the 21-year-old victim’s legs when he “moved it across her genital area two times” at Valley Stream Chiropractic Wellness Center at 12:20 p.m. Saturday, police said in a news release.

The victim’s mother, who was also in the room, grew concerned and demanded that Dukofsky stop the exam, police said. Both women left the office and called 911.

Dukofsky will be arraigned Monday at First District Court in Hempstead.

Detectives said the man walked into Valley Deli on Elmont Road at 4:35 p.m. pretending he was armed and walked behind the counter where the 35-year-old store clerk was standing.

He grabbed an unknown amount of cash, police said, and helped himself to cigars and 15 cartons of Newport cigarettes before throwing them into a blue garbage bag that belonged to the store. The man left the store and was last seen heading east on Oliver Avenue, police said.

The store clerk wasn’t injured during the robbery. He described the robber as a black male, 5-feet, 6-inches tall, 30 years of age, wearing white gloves, a camouflage hoodie, an olive colored sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and the stocking mask, police said.

Detectives are asking anyone with information regarding the robbery to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS.

Brian Daly, 24, was speeding in his Lincoln southbound on Franklin Avenue when he blew a read light and struck an eastbound Ford at the corner of Corona Avenue at 9:15 p.m., police said.

The Lincoln then hit a Subaru that stopped for the red light at the same corner. That was not injured, but the driver of the Ford, Christopher Decrescito, was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Daly was arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, reckless driving and driving while intoxicated.

He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries to his right hip and right arm. He will be arraigned as soon as medically practical, police said.

Homicide Squad detectives impounded the vehicles for safety inspections while the investigation is continuing.

A 911 caller reported finding a suspicious item in the parking lot of the store on West Sunrise Highway shortly after 9 a.m.

Officers cordoned off the area while Arson/Bomb Squad detectives and the Emergency Services Unit responded and determined the item was a bag containing miscellaneous clothing items.

No injuries were reported..
