According to Fox News, Declyn Lauper was arrested again in New York City in connection to a shooting on February 7. Declyn was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
As Fox News reports, police received a 911 call around 7:15 p.m. the night of the 7th. Upon arriving at the scene, police found a 24-year-old man shot in the leg. Declyn was arrested 15 minutes later.
The man shot has since been labeled as in “stable condition” after he was taken to a local hospital. This current investigation is ongoing.

New reports have surfaced that revealed Cyndi Lauper’s son has been arrested. According to People, Declyn Lauper was detained on July 14 in New York City.
The police report revealed that Declyn was found inside a 2014 Mercedes Benz C350 that had been reported stolen around 1:40 a.m. The car was illegally double-parked on the corner of West 140th and Broadway.
TMZ reports that the car was reportedly stolen more than two years ago and the plates found on the luxury car were registered to a different vehicle. The 24-year-old has since been charged with felony unauthorized use of a vehicle.
According to TMZ, he has since been released from police custody with an appearance ticket for a future court date. Shortly after his arrested Declyn made a statement about his mom.
“Say what you want about me, but keep my mother’s name out your mouth. I could have asked God for a better mother,” he wrote, according to The New York Post.
Over the last several years, Declyn has followed in his mother’s footsteps becoming a rather well-known musician with millions of followers on social media. As People reports, G-Easy was the most recent artist he has collaborated with.
Declyn is Lauper’s only child, whom she shares with her husband of 31 years, actor David Thornton. Several years ago, Cyndi admitted that she believes her son “feels the pressure of being my son.”
However, it seems as though as the years have gone on, he has come into his own. Neither representatives for Cyndi nor Declyn have issued a statement since his arrest.
