Cyndi Lauper's Son Arrested and Charged With Gun Possession in N.Y.C.

Cyndi Lauper's son Declyn Lauper has been released from jail after he was arrested and charged for allegedly illegally carrying a loaded firearm in New York City.

Per the New York Daily News, the 26-year-old — who is the only child of the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” singer and her husband David Thornton — was taken into police custody moments after a 24-year-old male was shot Wednesday night in Harlem on W. 112th St. near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. “The defendant and the separately apprehended individual drove to the location both with firearms to engage in what appears to be illicit activity,” Assistant District Attorney Harriet Jiranek said during his hearing. Declyn pleaded guilty in Manhattan Criminal Court and was ordered to “stay out of trouble for one year,” the New York Post reported at the time.
