Harlem Assemblyman Eddie Gibbs taken into custody by NYPD: sources

The NYPD took state Assemblyman Eddie Gibbs into custody Thursday after a car stop in Manhattan, sources said.

The NYPD’s Strategic Response Group pulled over the Harlem Democrat’s vehicle in East Harlem, according to sources.

It’s unclear what led to him being hauled in, but he was at the 25th Precinct as of Thursday afternoon.

It’s not the first time Gibbs was caught in legal trouble.

He spent over three years in prison on a manslaughter charge as a teenager — a shooting he claimed was in self-defense while his home was getting robbed.

In 2022, he became the first person elected to the state legislature who had served time in prison.

Gibbs was recently accused of illegally firing a former employee as he battled a health crisis that resulted in him losing his leg.

Ex-staffer Keith Lily alleged in a June lawsuit that Gibbs axed him while he was in a hospital for several weeks.
