A veteran NYPD detective was arrested in Albany for stalking an 11-year-old girl on her way to school and asking her three times if she wanted to make money, police said.
Detective Deodhram Singh, 38, followed the young girl Tuesday in his pickup truck, causing her to grow more frightened eachtime he pulled alongside her and barked out sleazy questions, authorities said.
"Do you want to make money," the 16-year veteran asked her the first time he approached, according to the Albany Police Department.
The girl ignored him and continued on, thinking he had gone. But a few blocks later, he reappeared, asking the same question and then inquiring about her age.
Terrified, she ran to her grandparents' home nearby. As she neared the home, Singh again interrogated her, asking, "Are you young?" and "Do you want to make $100?" cops said.
The girl ran into the home and told her grandfather she was being stalked.
Furious, the grandfather jumped into his car, chased down the third-grade detective's pickup and jotted down his license plate number, police said.
Albany cops traced the tag number and eventually collared Singh, who has homes in Albany and in Freeport, L.I., police said.
The handcuffed cop never once said he was an NYPD detective. It was not until law enforcement officials analyzed his fingerprints that they learned what Singh does for a living.
He was slapped with charges of endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment. After being arraigned in Albany County Court, he was ordered held in Albany County Jail.
Albany Police Detective James Miller said cops believe the girl's accusation against Singh.
"There was no legitimate reason for him to engage in a conversation with an 11-year-old girl, especially since he's a New York City cop," Miller told the Daily News.
