Elizaveta Zlatkis has been battling the trumped-up charges for years. (Photo: Lisa Zlatkis Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A New York woman has been battling trumped-up charges<\/a> for nearly two years after police raided her home in 2019, seized 21 fake guns and one inoperable firearm, and hit her with felony gun possession charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors have since dropped the felony counts, but they\u2019re still trying to convict her of misdemeanor offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis has been hell for two years for me and my children,\u201d 33-year-old Elizaveta Zlatkis told<\/a> the New York Post<\/em> this week. \u201cThey publicly humiliated me, and now they refuse to admit that they were wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are trying to save face and extend this case past three years so I can\u2019t sue them,\u201d she claimed. \u201cThey want me to take a plea [deal], but I didn\u2019t do anything wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December of 2019, New York Police Department\u2019s 112th<\/sup> Precinct celebrated taking \u201cmultiple guns off the street\u201d after they raided Zlatkis\u2019s home and seized the offending weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great job yesterday from our Field Intelligence Officer and Special Operations Unit for a successful search warrant taking multiple guns off the streets of Forest Hills. pic.twitter.com\/4oNwIeRjYp<\/a><\/p>\u2014 NYPD 112th Precinct (@NYPD112Pct) December 28, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

But many of the \u201cweapons\u201d were obviously fake. After prosecutors took a closer look, they realized that 21 of the 22 guns were toy replicas, air rifles, or starter pistols. Only one of the pistols was real, according to sources who spoke with the New York Post,<\/em> and that one is inoperable because it\u2019s missing the trigger, handgrip, and internal workings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zlatkis said at the time that the toy guns belonged to her then-husband, who loaned them to rappers for use in music videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite these new revelations, New York officials are trying to save face by charging Zlatkis with a slew of misdemeanors. Queens prosecutors filed a new complaint without the felony charges but still hit Zlatkis with 11 counts of possession of an imitation pistol, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and one count of possession of ammunition for a pistol or revolver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If officers had realized the guns were toys, it\u2019s unclear whether Zlatkis would be facing any charges at all. Now, she\u2019s prepared to go to trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m willing to go to trial,\u201d she said. \u201cBut the last thing that they want is the embarrassment when I beat them in court. My 11-year-old son knew the guns weren\u2019t real.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commenters on the 112th<\/sup> Precinct\u2019s tweet are well worth a read. Here are just a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are toys you absolute clowns<\/p>\u2014 lumpyprol (@lumpyprol) December 13, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

What a joke. Your proud of this achievement. You settled on busting toy guns because your unsuccessful in taking real guns off the streets. Well, what do you expect if you have Joker as the mayor! You better off giving those toy guns to orphans for christmas.<\/p>\u2014 Rey Alpuerto (@reyan504) December 15, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n
