NYPD TOW TRUCK OPERATOR MARVIN ROBBINS, WHO'S IN SPAT WITH CITY COP,
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.
