Just two days after winning re-election, a City Councilman pleaded guilty Thursday to charges stemming from a 15-year-old larceny case.

Queens Councilman Ruben Wills admitted to stealing items and damaging a Manhattan office building in 1996.

The case will be closed without jail time or probation if he does three days of community service and pays $2,500 in restitution.

Wills said the incident arose from a business dispute.

An outstanding warrant was issued for his arrest after he missed court dates.
