An off-duty NYPD cop was busted Wednesday morning for driving drunk on an East Village sidewalk — with an empty can of White Claw found underneath her seat, authorities said.
Police spotted incoherent cop Lesley Pierluisse, 42, behind the wheel of a Hyundai Santa Fe on a sidewalk on East 14th Street between Avenue B and Avenue C around 1:30 a.m., according to a criminal complaint.
