City Worker With Suspended License Arrested In Brooklyn, Records Show

BROOKLYN, NY — A city employee accused of driving unsafely with a suspended license was arrested Saturday, according to officials.

Prosecutors with the District Attorney's office say Malachi Grant, a 25-year-old city Housing Authority employee, made an improper lane change Saturday in Brooklyn's 88th Precinct, which covers Clinton Hill and Fort Greene.

When he was pulled over, police realized Grant was driving with a suspended license — and that he had failed to address previous tickets, according to a complaint from the District Attorney's office.

Grant's registration was out of date and he had no insurance, prosecutors contend.

Grant pleaded not guilty to a slew of vehicular charges including operating a vehicle without insurance and registration, obstructed plates and driving knowingly without a suspended license, court records show.

He's expected back in court on Thursday.

And it's not Grant's first unlicensed ride, court records show.

Grant also stands accused of driving with a suspended license on July 21 in Brooklyn's 68th Precinct, which covers Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, court records show.

A person with the same name faces similar charges in Nassau District Court related to a June 11 arrest as well, court records show.
