Mariners Harbor man faces drug, weapons charges

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — In an unrelated incident Thursday on Holland Avenue, cops arrested a man on gun and marijuana charges during a raid of a 10th-floor apartment.

Tariek Atkinson, 20, was arrested about 6:30 a.m.

Officers found a defaced .9mm Luger and a 10-chamber magazine containing six bullets inside a bag in a bedroom, court papers stated. Prosecutors classified the gun as an assault weapon.

Cops also seized a bag of pot from the suspect, those documents said.

Atkinson was charged with three felony counts of weapon possession for allegedly having a defaced gun, an assault weapon and a large-capacity ammunition feeding device. He’s also accused of marijuana possession.
