He’s gonna hang 10 in a New Jersey jail cell this weekend.
Corey Pohan, the surfer dude accused of punching out a Manhattan dog walker, can’t face the music in New York until he clears up charges in New Jersey for jumping out of an NYPD cop car at the Lincoln Tunnel toll plaza, a judge said Friday.
Pohan had shouted, “You don’t have a warrant. That’s it, I’m leaving,” sources said.
Pohan sat glumly in Hudson County Court in Jersey City Friday afternoon as he heard the bad news, his hands rear-cuffed, his hair rumpled and his self-lauded “sick” six-pack obscured by green jail scrubs.
Now instead of searching Bali, Indonesia and Mexico for the next big wave — as detailed in his Facebook account — Pohan is on a tour of the northern New Jersey criminal-justice system.
Next stop: Secaucus Municipal Court, hopefully Monday or Tuesday, says his lawyer.
“He’s upset that he’s sitting in jail, especially in New Jersey over a disorderly-persons offense,” the lawyer said of his client, whom he described as a “prior professional.”
He wouldn’t say what profession his client — who has no criminal record — has ever held.
Pohan’s mother, Barbara, attended the brief hearing. She declined to speak with reporters, except to respond to the question of what her son did for a living by saying that he has modeled in the past.
Numerous managers with the Bike and Roll bicycle rental company have identified Pohan to police as a “menace” who works for a competing group renting bikes in Central Park.
On his Facebook page, Pohan describes himself as living in Manhattan during the summer, and surfing around the world for the rest of the year.
Witnesses have told police that Pohan punched the victim as the two argued over Pohan having stepped over, rather than around, the victim’s Chihuahua, Peanut.
Martone’s last words before cracking his head on the sidewalk at West 55th Street and Ninth Avenue were “Why don’t you throw the first punch?” police said.
