A Legal Aid Society paralegal was arrested Monday in a case involving credit-card fraud, a Chanel handbag and police impersonation.

Toni Myers, 30, allegedly stole a man’s credit-card to buy a $5,500 purse Feb. 21, and had it delivered to his Flatiron District apartment building, the NYPD said.

The pricey purchase triggered a fraud alert to the 20-year-old victim, cops said.

When Myers went to pick up the package from the building the next morning, the doorman became suspicious and refused to hand it over, according to a criminal complaint.

Myers “attempted to wrestle the package from the doorman’s hands,” but failed and took off, the complaint said.

She returned an hour later, allegedly claimed to be a cop and asked the doorman to give her the package. When the doorman called 911, she booked it.

Sounds like all he’d have to do is claim to be transgender to avoid charges.

“Toni Myers, 30, allegedly stole a man’s credit-card to buy a $5,500 purse Feb. 21, and had it delivered to his Flatiron District apartment building, the NYPD said.”

So she stole his card and had it delivered to his apartment - that’s why the doorman wouldn’t hand it over, since it was addressed to him, not her. I think...

NYPOST-—She was previously arrested in December 2015 on charges of acting in a manner injurious to a child after allegedly leaving four young children in a parked car unattended while she went to pay a ticket in Lower Manhattan. Myers pleaded down to disorderly conduct in that case, according to prosecutors.
