BRONX NEWS: NYPD tow guy in spat ordered to get drug test

An NYPD tow truck operator who accused a vengeful Bronx cop of giving him a parking ticket says he was ordered to take a drug test after the Daily News started asking questions.

Marvin Robbins, a tow truck drivers’ union official, got a ticket Sunday for parking his Lexus by a fire hydrant outside his apartment in the Melrose Houses.

He says the ticket was written by Officer David Moshier, whom he had met two days earlier at a restaurant on E. 149th St. in the Bronx.

Robbins said he told the cop he was assigned to a special Internal Affairs Bureau unit that sends NYPD tow truck drivers to get illegally parked police vehicles.

Robbins was more than three hours into his shift in the Bronx on Wednesday when a supervisor told him to get a Breathalyzer and urine test, he said. All NYPD employees are subject to random drug testing, but Robbins said the timing is suspicious.

“They’re being vindictive,” he said of Moshier and police brass.

Robbins showed The News a receipt that indicates he was 6miles away when the ticket shows the violation occurred. He claims Moshier used his license plate to track him down.

NYPD officials declined comment. Moshier said he has never met Robbins. IAB is investigating.
