The New York Governor's Son Is A Stealer!

And he’s only 15!

Alex Paterson, son of New York governor David Paterson, was taken into custody on Tuesday after cops found a stolen credit card on the kid.

Cops spotted the kid shooting dice near his school, Beacon High, when they searched his belongings and found a credit card on him in someone else’s name. After tracing the card, the results came back as stolen. The teen was then hauled off to the 20th precinct.

A rep for the gov issued a statement, confirming their son was released to his parents and ask the family’s privacy to be respected during this “personal time.”

Can’t wait to hear them explain this one!
