MTA GUNSLINGER TAKES TOUGH TOLL

Beware what you say to that testy toll taker - he has a gun!

Last summer, a toll worker pulled his MTA Bridges and Tunnels-issued Glock 9mm pistol on a driver who handed him a wad of crumpled cash.

B&T Officer Daniel Bell, 38, was working toll booth No. 3 on the Queens side of the Queens Midtown Tunnel when a driver pulled up in a black Mercedes and handed him five one-dollar bills. Three of them were crumpled in the driver's hand.

Bell refused to accept the cash, stating it was MTA policy, and told the driver he needed to straighten the bills himself.

The driver happened to be FBI agent Wilfred Rattigan, 48 . . .

Hint for the future:  Don't pull a gun on an FBI agent!

The City of New York, which has a prohibition agains citizens owning any kind of handgun, issued a Glock to a tollbooth employee?  :confused:

It's a good thing the FBI agent didn't take his gun out and waste the stupid ****.
