“Today I am announcing that I have decided to take a leave of absence to spend more time with my son,” Noerdlinger said in a statement. “These past two months have been extremely difficult for both of us, and his arrest on Friday heightens the need for me to devote my full attention to Khari, my number one priority.”
Noerdlinger was paid $170,000 a year as chief of staff to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray — but Hizzoner said Monday that job will be filled by someone else.
Noerdlinger’s 17-year-old son, Khari, was busted for allegedly trespassing at a drug hot spot in Washington Heights on Friday night.
He was picked up with three friends, two of whom had small amounts of marijuana on them, law enforcement sources said.
Noerdlinger’s role at City Hall has also come under scrutiny due to her romantic relationship with convicted killer Hassaun McFarlane, 36.
