Unusual Suspects: Hot Soup in the Eye; Love Seat Filled With Cocaine; Hallucinogenic Tea Causes Vomitting

Recent weird and unusual crime in the Hudson Valley. Reports do not indicate a conviction.

A 17-year-old New Rochelle man allegedly took $5 from a person he knew and was subsequently charged with larceny. 

A Nanuet garage was a featured player in a 66-pound shipment of cocaine that landed a Bronx man in jail for 9 years. Ramon Lozada, 43, 0f 3210 Creston Ave., the Bronx, used the garage for auto repairs. The cocaine arrived via FedEx in a love seat that Lozada kept in the garage. Lozada pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and was just sentenced after being arrested in 2010. He was busted after a joint investigation by the Rockland County Special Investigations Unit and the New York City Police Department.

New Rochelle police are investigating the events that led to the death of Justin Moore, 22, of White Plains on Sunday morning. A man drove Moore to  from New York City. The man, also from White Plains, Moore, and a Yonkers woman had driven to Pacha night club in Manhattan. Apparently, Moore wasn't feeling well when the three arrived at Pacha and stayed in the car. When the other man and woman returned to the car, Moore was dead and they drove him to Sound Shore Medical Center. 

A Peekskill man allegedly robbed his neighbor of their TV and air conditioning unit.

Two Port Chester teens, ages 18 and 16, were treated at Greenwich Hospital after the female became sick and vomited following consumption of hallucinogenic tea. The male also complained of illness. Police declined to reveal what kind of plant was used to make the tea. 

A Children's Village resident, 16, allegedly threw a bowl of hot soup at an employee, but the soup splashed another employee and injured that man's right eye.

This is a terrific addition to town! I know I struggle with mounting piles of things to donate andRead More finding places to give to. With the Community Center and now Goodwill, great to find a second home for goods.

Okay but let's focus on the charter of the BOE. The Board of Education believes its primaryRead More responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens. We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals. It says nothing about protecting the investments of taxpayers by voting "no" on every expenditure. We need forward thinking, broad minded individuals to help guide educational direction of our schools. Keeping expenses reasonable and and in check should be a consideration by the educational focus should be primary. Although novices, Trustees Tobin and Schiff have helped true the course of the board back to the direction of education. Mr Stone who himself admitted he had never even been to a BOE meeting before deciding to run offers no sense of motivation other than Dr Treyz and his friends think he'll help shift the direction back toward finance. Mr Holbrook is no different a candidate than Mr Lipton himself was 6 years ago.
