PETEY ESPADA'S "HOUSE GETS HIT"

ALBANY -- One of the Democratic state senators who defected to the GOP in a legislative coup earlier this week said today that his Westchester home had been broken into and that files had been stolen.

Sen. Pedro Espada said his Mamoranack home office had been burglarized Monday, just hours after the Republicans mounted an historic power-grab and regained control of the State Senate.

"It's unfortunate," he told reporters. "Office papers and files are missing."

Espada, who is from the Bronx and claims the Westchester home is not his primary residence, blamed it on protesters camped outside.

"This was a burglary. I have to tie it in to demonstrations outside my home," he said. "Things are on the precipice of violence... People will get hurt."
