STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- He picked the wrong place to take a nap.


Police say a 19-year-old had cocaine and cash on him when they found him passed out at the wheel of his running car outside a Travis strip club early Sunday morning.

Rueben Gillette, 19, of Montclair, N.J., was dozing outside of 3555 Victory Blvd. -- the shopping center that houses Fun Station USA and the Pulse Gentlemen's Club, which is the new name of the former Lipsticks strip club -- at 12:05 a.m., court papers allege.

Police found eight twists of cocaine and a wad of cash in a sack under his passenger seat, court papers allege.

He told police, "I sell the stuff to get a little bit of money. I bought it from a guy named Rock. What about the crack in the car?" according to a law enforcement source.

Gillette is charged with third- and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to information from District Attorney Daniel Donovan's office
