Governor's Son Shoots Dice & Cops Nab Him!


Gov. Paterson's teenage son was picked up today after cops caught him shooting dice on an Upper West Side street corner and possessing somebody else's debit card, sources said.

Cops grabbed Alex Paterson, 15, around 3 p.m. near West 61st Street after seeing him and four others shooting dice for money, the sources said. He is a student at the nearby Beacon School.

Paterson and one of the other boys were issued juvenile reports for loitering with the purpose of gambling, and the other teen also was issued a report for possessing graffiti markers, officials said.

When asked for Paterson's ID, an officer discovered the debit card in another person's name, and he was taken in cuffs to the 20th Precinct for questioning.

The bank that the card traces back to said it was listed as lost/stolen, though no report of a stolen card could be found, the sources said.

Paterson was questioned and released into his mother's custody a short time later.

The govenor's office released the following statement:

"Earlier today, Governor Paterson's son was taken into the 20th precinct and subsequently released to his parents. The Governor and the First Lady ask that their privacy is respected during this personal time."

Paterson lives with his parents in Harlem, for now, lol! He may be moving to Vegas!
