Charles Foehner, 65, who was hit with multiple gun charges in the fatal shooting of would-be mugger Cody Gonzalez in Queens, once complained to The Post about rampant crime in the neighborhood.
this week once griped to The Post about rampant crime in his neighborhood — and now faces more than two dozen gun charges for allegedly stockpiling illegal firearms in his apartment.
“This isn’t our nice little neighborhood anymore,” Foehner had said in August 2020 article about a since-shuttered hotel on Queens Boulevard that locals griped had turned into “a flophouse.” Among the firearms were 17 handguns, including the one used in the Wednesday morning shooting, cops said. Police said Foehner was walking home around 2 a.m. Wednesday after going out for a pack of smokes when Cody Gonzalez, 32, confronted him while wielding an unknown object and demanding cash and cigarettes. Gonzalez was holding what Foehner said he believed to be a knife, but turned out to be a pen, the sources said.
Foehner called 911 saying he was involved in a shooting and that his firearm was in his jacket pocket. He was grilled by cops before he was charged Thursday afternoon, dodging a homicide count. “He was just trying to get home,” he said. “I saw the video and you can see he’s standing there and shows the guy the gun and is backing up. The other man takes something out and lunges at him.”
