‘Ghostbuster’ cops keep raiding dead man’s home: suit

[Jesus Malverde]

He’s been dead for eight years, but try telling that to the NYPD.

Cops have barged into James Jordan Sr.’s family home looking for him more than a dozen times since he died in 2006 — prompting his exasperated relatives to finally post his death certificate on the front door.

“I tell them over and over, ‘James isn’t here! He’s dead! It’s that simple. What’s so difficult to understand about that?’ ” the Brooklyn security guard’s widow, Karen, told The Post on Monday.

James Jordan Sr., who died from diabetes at age 46, was last arrested in 1996 — for turnstile-jumping, said Karen Jordan, who has filed a lawsuit against the city in Brooklyn federal court.

But cops still routinely ransack the family’s Bushwick home on Sumner Avenue, demanding to see him — coming four times this year alone, Jordan said.

2. This is amazing. They have the time and manpower to keep doing this?

I wonder if someone is using the dead man's name and engaging in criminal acts.

4. Hmm . . .

Maybe that is the explanation. I wonder if the cops have bothered to look into that.
