A cocaine-snorting con man lived high on the hog at two posh Midtown hotels using a bogus credit card for weeks before he was busted with a stolen laptop computer and a bag of drugs.

Richard Ware III, 21, of Atlanta, was nabbed Saturday in his room at the Paramount in Times Square, where he had racked up a $6,000-plus tab, after hotel security believed he was acting suspiciously and called the cops.

In his room, police found a bag of cocaine and the stolen computer. The laptop came from the room of another guest.

Ware checked in on June 7 using a credit card bearing his name that was linked to a closed account, he later admitted to cops.

Ware had allegedly pulled a similar scam, staying at Le Parker Meridien from May 21 to May 23 before skipping out on a $1,600 bill.
