The Knicks fan who proudly dumped garbage onto a New York City street to steal the basketball themed orange and blue trash can is still getting dunked on ... she's been hit with multiple fines.
TMZ has learned the celebratory Knicks trash can was returned to New York City's Department of Sanitation Wednesday morning ... and, the trash bandit behind the ordeal was issued two summonses ... including a $75 littering ticket and a $100 ticket for impeding DSNY operations.
We're told the fines are the maximum allowed by law for first offenses.
We covered the wild story -- a woman, later identified as 40-year-old Angie Báez, was so happy about the Knicks' NBA Championship, she emptied a themed garbage can onto the street and then walked away with it.
She was later spotted on the subway proudly clinging to her memorabilia.
The woman caught dumping garbage onto a New York City street in order to swipe a Knicks-themed public trash bin might get away scot-free ... at least in the eyes of the law.
Now that the trash bandit has been identified as 40-year-old Angie Báez ... TMZ reached back out to NYPD to see if they plan on charging or citing her. Their response -- there's "no complaint report on file with the information provided" ... meaning they ain't pursuing her!
But, Angie did have to face the consequences of her own actions at work -- she was employed as a senior director at JPMorgan Chase before being canned Tuesday over the incident.
JPMorgan Chase gave the ax to a senior executive caught on video dumping garbage onto an NYC sidewalk at the Knicks' championship parade and then stealing the trash receptacle, TMZ has learned.
A spokesperson for the Manhattan-based bank told TMZ that it fired Angie Baez after reviewing footage posted online showing the bizarre incident during last Thursday's parade in the Big Apple. As you know, the Knicks beat the Spurs 4-1 to take home the NBA Championship.

Jordyn Woods is already making bank with her "lucky bag" flying off the shelves ... but ex-NBA player John Salley thinks there's another way for Karl-Anthony Towns' fiancée to line her pockets -- sell the original, which only retails for $125, for $200K!!
TMZ Sports caught up with the four-time NBA champ at a launch party for his cover of Beverly Hills Living Magazine over the weekend ... and naturally, we had to talk all things New York Knicks with the Brooklyn native.
First of all, Salley said he called their title back in November ... and Jalen Brunson made him a VERY rich man for putting his money where his mouth was at the time.
Viral Knicks brawl-turned-twerking-contest participant Reds Punch sat down with TMZ to discuss that fateful day ... and she gave us all the dirty deets.

Jameson's owners, Marie Marseille and Jeremiah Garcia, called the incident "unnecessary and profoundly dangerous" via their attorney, Brett Greenfield ... and questioned the judgement of the officer in a statement to TMZ.

The New York Knicks have their NBA Championship ... and now stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart also have an apology from Stephen A. Smith, who showered them with hate during their early careers.
Here's the sitch -- Knicks stars and longtime pals Jalen and Josh held a live taping of their "The Roommates Show" podcast at the Infosys Theater at NYC's Madison Square Garden along with co-host Matt Hillman on Friday. They invited SAS onto the stage as one of their many surprise guests ... and he was greeted by roaring boos from the crowd.

The "peace deal" has been signed, but it's debatable whether we got the upper hand. And boy, did Janice Dickinson start a plastic surgery war with Kris Jenner! So we gotta ask ...
7:11 PM PT -- Mayor Karen Bass released the following statement after the footage dropped ... “What I saw on the bodycam footage is disturbing and tragic. The Chief and I agreed that it was important to release the bodycam footage swiftly. While the investigation is ongoing, I am very concerned about why shots were fired and Jameson was killed. This shooting makes clear that while LAPD provides officers with written guidance on the use of force and pets, this is not enough."
She added ... “I have directed the Police Commission President and the Chief to examine the Department's Use of Force policy on Dog Encounters to determine best practices from around the country, and use this opportunity to update the LAPD's overall tactics, policies, and training related to the use of lethal force to increase safety for everyone – officers, Angelenos and their pets.”

An officer fired not once, but four times, in the controversial fatal shooting of the Canoga Park dog, Jameson, on Saturday.
The LAPD just released the bodycam footage from the officer who killed Marie Marseille's golden retriever, Saint Bernard, and poodle mix ... and it's difficult to watch.
When officers first approach Marie's apartment, she cracks the door ... and Jameson pokes his head out and barks.
The family of the doodle shot and killed by the Los Angeles Police Department during a New York Knicks celebration says they will sue if the LAPD doesn't admit to their wrongdoing ... TMZ has learned.
The dog's family tells TMZ his owner, Marie Marseille, has hired an attorney as an investigation is underway over the shocking shooting of the beloved 2-year-old poodle mix named Jameson on Saturday ... and she's ready to put up a fight against the LAPD so Jameson gets justice.
The attorney, Brett Greenfield, tells TMZ ... "If the LAPD does not address this appropriately relating to the officer and my client, I will be filing a lawsuit. We play to win, it's just that simple. We are not happy about this."

French said Noureddine was so shaken by the ordeal that he doesn't even want to drive a taxi anymore, so he's hoping the financial support gives him time to figure out his next move.
