These guys get honorable mention.
The top five worst subway offenders highlighted by The Post aren’t the only thugs wreaking havoc in the Big Apple transit system — two others have more than 120 busts and among the most felony arrests.
One is even linked to an open homicide, police sources said.
Jean Alliance, 40, and Geraly Mills, 37, have been arrested a combined 127 times throughout their criminal careers, including 25 of the most serious felonies, like robbery, assault and burglary, records show — and yet neither is currently behind bars.
Meanwhile, Mills remains a person of interest in the Sept. 29, 2016 cold case death of a 35-year-old woman found dead at Colonial Road and Wakeman Place in Brooklyn, police sources said.
“We’re focusing on quality of life infractions, and this proves we’re getting the right people,” a law enforcement source told The Post. “And not just in transit, but, much like our crime zones … we see it helping overall crime reduction citywide.”
The Post on Sunday revealed that a new quality of life initiative in NYPD transit districts in Queens and Brooklyn has ensnared the top five subway system offenders in the city, who have a combined 590 career arrests between them, including more than 100 felonies.
Topping the list is Robert Davis, 56, a reputed member of the Latin Kings gang who has compiled 129 career busts, including felony robbery and grand larceny charges, records show.
He is currently being held at Rikers Island on $3,000 bail.
Pablo Colon, 56, another member of the top five club, served nearly three years in state prison on a 2017 burglary conviction, and was paroled in February 2020, according to records.
All of the transit terrors were nabbed in the recent pilot program, which began in mid-January in one district and mid-February in the other.
The enforcement initiative has led to 671 summonses and 313 arrests on more serious criminal charges — including 180 suspects who were wanted on warrants, police said.
The effort has cops questioning straphangers caught committing quality of life crimes like smoking in the subways or taking up too many seats — infractions that in recent years just got violators kicked out of the stations for crimes that would get a slap on the wrist under the state’s lax criminal justice laws.
By simply asking for ID, police are finding suspects wanted in more serious crimes.
Nearly 58% of those arrested during the initiative had active warrants. Of the 313 arrested, 111 had open misdemeanor cases and 72 had open felony cases, the numbers show
