According to the Post the New York City homeless man — whose
gift of boots from an NYPD police officer became an online sensation — is back
on the streets with no shoes. The man,
Jeffrey Hillman, formerly of South Plainfield, NJ was found Sunday night
wandering barefoot in Manhattan.
Asked about the $100 all-weather boots Officer Larry DePrimo
gave him on Nov. 14, Hillman says he's hidden them because "they are worth
a lot of money."
He says he's grateful for the gift, but he wants "a
piece of the pie" because the photo was posted online "without
permission." An Arizona tourist
snapped the photo of the officer presenting new boots to Hillman. It went viral
after it was posted on the NYPD's Facebook page.
