A suburban New York police official accused of driving the getaway car for her son’s alleged gang shooting reportedly had connections to the mayor’s office when she landed the leadership role.<\/p>\n

Court records indicate Jennifer Lackard, 49, and her son Chase, 20, were both arrested<\/a> by the New York Police Department on Tuesday in connection with a June 29 drive-by shooting at rival gang members near the Bronx Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

Prior to her arrest, Lackard worked as the deputy commissioner of wellness for the Mount Vernon Police Department.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lackard and Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard are Delta Sigma Theta sorority sisters, according to the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> posted on social media, the City of Mount Vernon said in part, “Effective immediately, the City of Mount Vernon has terminated Jennifer Lackard\u2019s employment. The allegations are unrelated to her duties with the Mount Vernon Police Department and do not stem from any conduct associated with the Department or the performance of her official responsibilities.”<\/p>\n
