Posted: August 4th, 2006 | Filed under: You're Kidding, Right?A Brooklyn teen, apparently angry about a drug bust, didn’t know write from wrong when he mailed cops an envelope stuffed with white powder — and bearing his name and address.
Cops from the 73rd Precinct easily tracked down Adbullah Date shortly after the letter arrived at the East New York Avenue station house Wednesday.
“Ha Ha, [you] thought it was anthrax. F – – – you,” Date, 18, allegedly scribbled. He also taunted: “Catch me if you can.”
Then he wrote his name, birthday and Hull Street address on the envelope, says a complaint unsealed by the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s Office. Date was arrested last month by cops who said they saw him toss crack vials out a window, court documents show.
