At the time of his arrest, Padilla had open robbery and grand larceny cases in Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn, according to sources.
In all, the troublesome ex-con has 201 prior arrests — not counting sealed cases — dating back to 2006 on charges ranging from forgery, grand larceny and robbery to burglary and reckless endangerment, the sources said.
Padilla was hit with a prison sentence of three to six years in 2017 after pleading guilty to grand larceny in a Manhattan case. He was released on parole in 2021 — though sources said it hasn’t deterred him.
“He steals cars, he commits robberies — robs people, banks, anything — assaults,” one police source said.
“He behaves like a modern-day outlaw,” the source said, adding, “He is the revolving door. He operates with impunity.”
In his latest scrape with the law, Padilla was spotted driving a white 2021 Dodge Charger with stolen license plates on the Henry Hudson Parkway around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the criminal complaint against him.
A paroled ex-con with more than 200 busts on his rap sheet and open criminal cases in four boroughs was free to allegedly lead cops on a wild stolen car chase that left two officers injured last week, The Post has learned.
Joshua Padilla, 29, managed to duck jail despite more than a half-dozen criminal cases hanging over his head — while on parole following a three-year stint in state prison on a grand larceny conviction, sources said.
“It’s like he’s Teflon,” one law enforcement source said. “Arrest, jail, prison — none of it means anything to him. That’s what we’re up against.”

End the expense.
Sounds like a current con instead of an ex.

NYC people love this kind of thing. They’ve voted for it for years. Strange, but it’s a free country right?
You can see the white privilege all over his face...
Color me surprised!
Car 54 where youuuu?
where are you.
Agreed. Only way his crime spree will end is if someone puts him 6 feet under.

Well, he did manage to stay out of trouble in the fifth borough, Staten Island. So let’s give credit where credit is due.
And if someone (quite rightfully) does that, Fat Alvin Bragg will toss their rear end in jail, even if it's a cop. There's a reason I moved out of NYC and a million or more people did, too.
JUST SHOOT HIM
Like our violent open borders, our foreign policies are sabotage, we have a rigged weaponized justice system, we’re 32 trillion in debt, and all of this has been produced and directed by career lawyer politicians for 40+ years now.
Those running government are a total failure in every direction. Instead of mass resignations, prosecutions and criminal trials, they get promoted, rewarded and become wealthy.
No, he's not like Teflon. This is all about a judiciary that refuses to address a problem.
There's hundred, if not thousands of cases like this where judges want to play goody two-shoes, progressive nursemaids. They refuse to keep career criminals behind bars and to hell with the innocent citizens that are always their victims. F' em all.
Remember, those calling the shots kept letting him out. You can’t blame this criminal stooge. He’s just doing what those in charge allow him do. Their actions are basically an attack on civilized society. No debate.
This man is free to continue his life of crime.
At the same time our government arrests President Trump. Our government is rotten through and through.
Who cares what happens in New Jerk?
Put him in Epstein’s cell. Or he could trip and fall down a long, steep concrete stairway. Horrible for the neck. Problem solved.
