He’d have been a bad cop — but he’s an even worse son.
A Queens judge scolded a former NYPD cadet yesterday for stealing his own mother’s personal information and selling it to a gang of identity thieves.
“This was extremely foolish on your part,” Supreme Court Justice Richard Buchter excoriated 23-year-old Raymond Gumti before sentencing him to a conditional discharge for letting the scammers create a bogus credit card with his mother’s information and rack up $13,000 in debt.
“You dedicated your whole life to become a cop. You received a bachelor’s from John Jay College . . . and you threw it all away,” the judge said to Gumti, who pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny.
Gumti avoided a stretch in the slammer, but has to pay back the whole $13,000 to his mom, Patricia Gumti. He had received about $5,000 cash from the ringleaders for betraying her, according to law-enforcement sources.
Gumti was arrested in December — just days before he was to graduate from the Police Academy — after 111 other scammers were busted two months earlier for stealing the identification of hundreds of people.
A woman answering the door at Patricia Gumti’s house declined to comment.
