A Staten Island man allegedly caught with 25 counterfeit $100 bills during a traffic stop on Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania was arrested Monday, according a report in the Pocono Record.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Mariners Harbor man is accused of shooting a teenage boy in the buttocks over a longstanding neighborhood rivalry.

Jordan Taylor, 22, of the 200 block of Lockman Avenue, came upon his 15-year-old target while the teen walked behind 67 Warren St., one of the buildings in the Stapleton Houses, at about 10:40 p.m. Saturday, according to court papers.

Taylor, who was toting a silver handgun, opened fire, hitting the teen twice in the buttocks and breaking his tailbone, court papers allege.

A law enforcement source said the shooting stems from a long-standing feud between youths in Mariners Harbor and Stapleton.

Taylor, who works as a full-time cashier at a fast-food chain, was taken into custody following a car stop Tuesday, the source said.

He had a gravity knife on the floor of the car, the source said, and told police, "That's my poke."

Taylor is charged with second-degree attempted murder, second-degree assault, two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, and a single count of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, according to information from District Attorney Daniel Donovan's office.

He remains held on $300,000 bail in the attempted murder case, plus another $1,000 on the knife case, and is slated to return to Stapleton Criminal Court on Monday.
