Back to the Big House, buddy.
A parolee was arrested after bringing a loaded gun and cocaine to a parole visit in New Brighton, authorities said.
Tyrell McKenzie, 29, walked into the parole office on Jersey Street at about 6 a.m. Tuesday with a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson, law-enforcement sources said.
Afterward, cops executing a search warrant at his home recovered the loaded weapon and 17 additional rounds in a black bag, as well as cocaine, a Criminal Court complaint states.
McKenzie had been on parole after being convicted of felony assault in 2003, court records show.
He was charged with possession of a weapon, ammunition and drugs, according to a spokesman for DA Daniel Donovan.
A charity worker illegally filled his car with more than $1,100 worth of gasoline using his employer’s account in Castleton Corners, officials said.
Garth Moreau, 37, admitted he used a New York Foundling account at a Mobil station between September and November 2013, a Criminal Court complaint states.
Workers at the charity that serves children and families noticed the unauthorized purchases, records show.
When cops confronted Moreau, he allegedly said, “I did use my ID to get some gas a couple of times.”
Actually, his purchases totaled $1,146.94, and he was hit with charges of grand larceny, possession of stolen property and petit larceny, prosecutors said.

A McDonald’s-munching lookout and four thieves stole more than $4,000 worth of duds from a clothing store in lower Manhattan, sources said.
A snacking woman lurked around a newly opened Urban Outfitters on Broadway near Fulton Street at about 11 a.m. last Friday, casing the business, the sources said.
Then four crooks entered the establishment, strolled past security guards, took 10 pairs of bleached jeans, five pairs of lye-washed Ramblers and two Herschel backpacks, and fled without paying, sources added.
Alarms sounded and the thieves were seen fleeing with their haul, but no arrests had been made as of last night, police said.
An absent-minded gym member left her $5,500 Rolex watch in a cup-holder at the Equinox in Tribecca and it had vanished by the time she realized what she had done, sources said.
The 25-year-old fitness buff set the pricey timepiece in the cup-holder while she was working out at about 7:30 p.m. on March 24.
She later went home and only then realized she had left it behind, sources added.
The victim returned to the gym to find that the watch was gone, the cup-holder had been cleaned and employees said they hadn’t seen it, sources said.
A thief stole a laptop computer and a purse from a conference attendee taking a coffee break at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park hotel.
The 29-year-old upstate resident placed the $1,200 computer in its case and set it by her purse beneath a chair in a crowded meeting room on West Street at about 10:20 a.m. last Thursday, sources said.
When she returned, her Dell laptop computer and her purse containing seven credit cards and a driver’s license had disappeared.
There were nearly 200 conference participants but no witnesses, sources said.
The hotel has surveillance cameras outside but not inside the conference room, according to law-enforcement authorities.
An irate customer was so upset with an online bidding service, he went to its offices in Chelsea and delivered verbal threats, sources said.
Employees said the unidentified suspect, who appeared to be about 55 years old, walked into the offices of liveauctioneers.com on 12th Avenue at about 1 p.m. on March 18 and menacingly vowed, “I’m going to be back in three days and I’m going to leave something at your door.”
He left and did not follow through, sources added.
The suspect stands about 5-foot-7, weighs about 165 pounds and has black hair.
