Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the court erred in charging the jury that it might infer a "consciousness of guilt" from a threat that he made at a police station, soon after his arrest. However, any error in giving the charge was harmless, as there was overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, and no significant probability that the error contributed to his convictions ( see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 241-242; cf. People v Heman, 198 AD2d 434, 435).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80, 85-86).
