Brooklyn “Bling Bishop” Lamor Whitehead holed up in a gaudy New Jersey McMcMansion after federal extortion charges.
Whitehead, 44, briefly emerged from the sprawling brick two-story house to tell a Post reporter to scram — and yelled out “not guilty!” when pressed about the allegations lodged by Manhattan federal prosecutors Monday.
At one point a black Chevy Suburban pulled right up to the door of the mansion so Whitehead could hop inside unseen — only to return moments later because he forgot something at the house. Paramus police were later called to the house, going in to speak to Whitehead and then telling The Post, “he said he doesn’t want to talk to you guys.”robbed at gunpoint while delivering a sermon
