Unusual Suspects: Ice Pick; Dart Dispute; Teacher Locked in Room

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

Three Long Island men were arrested after being observed and videotaped taking items from a Bedford drop-box. Two of the men allegedly lowered the third man into the box to retreive items. Police located the men in Mt. Kisco and discovered 800 pounds of clothing valued at $450 and three large clothing collection bins in their truck.

A West Harrison man allegedly attempted to steal an $88 mountain bike from the White Plains Wal-Mart, according to police. His method was perhaps most shocking--he simply wheeled it past the front door when security stopped him. 

Police observed an Ossining man with an ice pick at the top of an apartment building staircase, reportedly waiting for another man whom he had engaged in a verbal dispute with earlier. When officers ordered the man to put down the pick, he did at first and began walking down the stairs before chaning his mind and taking hold of the pick again. Allegedly, the man had a physical altercation with the man he threatened. The man resisted arrest and was charged accordingly, charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a class D Felony.

According to Port Chester Police, a 22-year-old resident became upset when the mother of his two children dropped the kids off at his house with his sister. Despite an order of protection, the father went to the woman's house where she had locked herself in the bathroom. He reportedly broke into the apartment and threatened to hurt her if she did not come with him. The two children were not injured during the incident. When police searched the suspect, they found two stolen pairs of the victim's panties on his person. 

 bar staff asked two men to leave when they had a dispute over a late-night dart game. Police were called when staff realized the two men were waiting outside the bar for three other men involved in the initial dispute. Police asked the men to leave; one did, the other did not. A police officer was allegedly pushed to the ground and sustained a minor knee injury.

A 19-year-old student of theschool allegedly trapped a female staff member in a classroom. The male reportedly locked the door of the office and prevented her from exiting while supporting the door with his body.

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.
