STATEN ISLAND

* A West Brighton man was arrested for sexually abusing his young stepdaughter more than a dozen times over four years, law-enforcement sources said yesterday.

The 44 year-old-man, whose name is being withheld to protect the victim’s identity, was arrested at his home on Sunday afternoon.

The victim, who is now 16 years old, told police that she would wake up in her bed and find her stepfather fondling her, sources said.

He first approached her on July 8, 2002, and abused her 15 times since then, the sources said.

The girl was initially too frightened to alert authorities because the predator was the family’s primary breadwinner, police said.

The suspect was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and sexual abuse.

* A drunken driver plowed through several cones blocking the entrance to the lower level of the Verrazano Bridge and continued going, police said yesterday.

But Plenca apparently never noticed and he kept driving until police caught up with him, sources said.

A cop who stopped Plenca noticed he was swerving his SUV and had bloodshot eyes, authorities said.

Plenca was arrested after he failed a Breathalyzer test and was charged with DWI, operating a motor vehicle on a closed bridge and failure to obey a traffic device.

Armando Mazarigeo and the second, unidentified suspect accosted Louis Hernandez as he walked along 103rd Street and 35th Avenue early Sunday morning.

The duo initially demanded his money and Mazarigeo then grabbed Hernandez’s wallet from his pants, police said.

The other thug then began choking the victim, police said.

Before the crooks fled, Mazarigeo’s cohort grabbed Hernandez’s earring and tried to rip it off, leaving him with a bloody lobe, authorities said.

Cops later caught up with Mazarigeo. He was charged with robbery and assault. They are searching for the second suspect.

Glass began flying in every direction and the noise aroused residents, who called 911.

When cops responded to the commotion, they discovered Barnet sitting in the driver’s seat of the car and found a small bag of crack in his jacket pocket, they said.

He was charged with criminal mischief, grand larceny and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
