Cop-killer out on parole will AVOID being sent back to jail after being busted stealing $286 of Than

Convicted cop-killer Bruce Lorick will avoid jail after being caught stealing Thanksgiving food from Target in Manhattan last weekend. 

Lorick, 66, who is on lifetime parole for the 1980 murder of NYPD Officer Joseph Keegan, allegedly attempted to steal $286 worth of items from a Target on the Upper East Side, the New York Post reported. 

The haul of good included shrimp, chicken, Jimmy Dean frozen meals, candy, Colgate toothpaste and Tide laundry detergent, according to law enforcement sources.

The incident marks the third time Lorick has been arrested since being released on parole in 2021 after spending more than 30 years in prison.

On June 13, 1980, transit officer Joseph Keegan, 41, (pictured) stopped 22-year-old Bruce Lorick at the 59th-Street Columbus Circle subway station for failing to pay the fare

On June 13, 1980, transit officer Joseph Keegan, 41, stopped 22-year-old Bruce Lorick at the 59th-Street Columbus Circle subway station for failing to pay the fare. 

When Keegan went to arrest Lorick, a struggle ensued and the suspect grabbed the officer's service weapon and shot him in the head.

Keegan was just 44 days from an early retirement. He had been planning to quit the force after 15 years so he could start a family.

A year later, Lorick was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

He became eligible for parole in 2005, but every time he made a plea for freedom, his request was denied.

Despite the efforts of Lorick's devoted family and friends Lorick was eventually granted parole in 2021.

Lorick served his sentence at Clinton Correctional facility in upstate New York 

Whilst an inmate Lorick became known for his search for love online using the dating website meet-an-inmate.com.

In his profile, the killer described himself in glowing terms as a 'Black male who is childless, single, humorous, witty, loyal, a good listener, and an excellent lover.'

On paper, Lorick is quite the catch: a brown-eyed, 5-foot-10, 180-lbs college-educated military veteran from a Protestant background whose many interests include books, music, art, movies, horses, 'and mostly anything involving a woman.'

And based on his dating profile, Lorick is not the least bit picky when it comes to choosing a mate.

‘Your race, weight, and looks are not important to me because all women have something special about them, plus I am looking for love instead of trying to find faults in you,’ he writes.

‘I have no hidden identities, so you can be yourself without fear or shame, as I have learned that people are not perfect, just human beings.’
