Whoops👇

A 19-year-old #ArgyleNY man was arrested Saturday after trespassing into the former Downstate Correctional Facility in #FishkillNY and getting stuck inside a prison cell.

Cody Mallon reportedly entered the abandoned facility around midnight by crawling through a hole in the fence to take photos. He ended up trapped inside a cell and called for help.

Troopers and the Glenham Fire Department rescued him, and he was charged with third-degree criminal trespass, a class B misdemeanor. 

Mallon was issued a court appearance ticket for the Town of Fishkill.

Have you heard? 

A 38-year-old man has been charged with felony criminal mischief after allegedly detonating an explosive device at a home in @villageofcroton during a neighbor dispute, police said.

The May 11 explosion damaged property but caused no injuries. Investigators from the #WestchesterCounty Police Bomb Squad identified the device as a three-inch commercial display mortar, which is illegal to possess in #NewYork.

The suspect, Shea Kirschbaum, was arrested, and a search of his home revealed no additional explosives.

He was arraigned and released on his own recognizance, pending a future court date

What are your thoughts? 

ICE raided a home on North Elm Street in #BeaconNY, on the morning of June 20, without prior notice to city officials, according to Mayor Lee Kyriacou. It’s still unclear who was detained or whether ICE presented a judicial warrant. ICE has not responded to requests for comment.

Beacon Mayor emphasized the city had no role in the operation and reaffirmed the commitment to being a safe and inclusive community. Police Chief confirmed with the FBI that ICE was involved and noted a second visit the following day.

Residents reported seeing armed ICE and FBI agents in body armor early that morning. 

In response, locals formed an informal neighborhood watch and began distributing cards in English & Spanish, advising immigrants on what to say and do during encounters with ICE.

Immigration attorney Joseph Lavetsky noted ICE has increasingly broadened its enforcement, often using deception to make arrests and targeting individuals without criminal records.

What are your thoughts?

Starting Monday, Oct. 6, Metro-North Railroad will debut new “super-express” commuter trains cutting travel times between Poughkeepsie and New York City to under 90 minutes. Riders from Beacon will reach the city in under an hour.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the service at Grand Central Terminal, saying the trains will save commuters 15 minutes daily — more than an hour a week. Beacon Mayor Lee Kyriacou praised the move, calling Metro-North “the economic backbone of the Hudson Valley.”

Metro-North President Justin Vonashek added that the upgrades build on the railroad’s 98% on-time performance, with more improvements to come.

Robert "Coach V" Violante, a beloved #Bergenfield HS football & track coach, was among 4 people killed in a fiery crash on the Taconic State Parkway Wednesday. He was on his way home from school at the time of the accident.'

Violante, who had worked for the School District for 15 years, also served as a faculty member at the High School and formerly at Jefferson Elementary. Known for his compassion, discipline, and mentorship, he helped turn around the high school's struggling football program and was deeply loved by students and colleagues.

Superintendent Christopher Tully described Violante as a mentor and father figure who always put students first. The district has made grief counseling and support resources available and will share memorial details soon.

Police say the crash occurred when a Sprinter van crossed into oncoming traffic in #WestchesterCounty's #NewCastleNY and collided with Violante's Honda sedan, which overturned and caught fire. Violante later died at the hospital. 3 people in the van were also killed; their names have not yet been released. 

The van's driver remains hospitalized in critical condition.

What are your thoughts? 

A #Fishkill man was arrested on July 4th for driving drunk with two children in the car, according to state police.

Moises Centeno Vargas, 49, was pulled over on Route 9 in Wappinger after a trooper noticed signs of intoxication. An 8-year-old and 10-year-old were also in the vehicle. Vargas failed field sobriety tests and later registered a 0.14% blood alcohol level at the police barracks.

He was charged under Leandra’s Law, which increases penalties for DWI with minors, and released pending a court appearance next month. The children were turned over to a sober adult.

Can you believe it?

Recent snowfall has created ideal tracking conditions in Dutchess County, New York, and local Bigfoot enthusiasts say several unusual sets of footprints have been spotted across the area.

The group Bigfoot Researchers of the Hudson Valley shared three recent reports from Wappingers Falls, Spackenkill, Poughkeepsie, and Milan.

One set of tracks in Wappingers Falls reportedly showed strides of about six feet. Another appeared in a Spackenkill neighborhood, and a third was discovered by a woman snowshoeing near Wilcox Park.#
Group member Gayle Beatty said reports typically increase during snowy weather and claimed the creature is known, anecdotally, to raid garbage and take shelter in barns and abandoned buildings.
The group says it plans to follow up and investigate the latest sightings.

Check it out👇

Now’s the time to catch peak fall color at the State Line Lookout, where the foliage along the Hudson River is reaching its most vibrant hues.

Situated near “Point Lookout,” the highest point on the Palisades Cliffs at 520 feet, the lookout sits right on the border of Bergen County, New Jersey, and Rockland County, New York. From this vantage point, visitors can take in sweeping views of fiery red maples, golden oaks, and the deep blue river below.

Located within Palisades Interstate Park, the lookout offers easy parking and a short walk to the edge for some of the best autumn scenery in the region. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for photography, as sunlight warms the cliffs and the Hudson glows beneath.

With the trees now at their most colorful, this week offers the perfect window to experience one of North Jersey’s most breathtaking seasonal views before the leaves begin to fall.

Have you heard?

2 #NewJersey men have been charged after a year-long investigation uncovered the illegal dumping of hazardous materials, including asbestos, at a former movie theater property in #NewWindsorNY.

The investigation, led by @nwpdny and involving multiple agencies, began last year & concluded with the April 15 arrests of Gary DiGiovanni, 61, of #HunterdonCounty, & Dean Buncombe, 45, of #BergenCounty. 

Authorities say the 2 men were involved in dumping contaminated materials at the former Destina Movie Theatre. DiGiovanni faces forgery, falsifying records, and criminal possession of a weapon, and is being held pending arraignment. Buncombe was charged with filing false documents and possessing a forged instrument and has been released with a court summons.

Additional environmental charges are pending as the investigation continues. #NewWindsor Town Supervisor Stephen Bedetti condemned the act, calling it a reckless threat to the community and environment.

What are your thoughts?

A federal judge ruled on March 24th that nine property owners are entitled to compensation for land along the abandoned 41-mile Metro-North rail line stretching from Beacon, NY to the Connecticut border. Judge David Tapp found that the easements granted for rail use do not extend to recreational trails, allowing landowners to seek money after the Surface Transportation Board authorized interim trail use.

260+ other landowners have filed claims.

Metro-North, which acquired the line in 1995, is in talks to transfer a 13-mile portion to the state for a planned hiking and biking trail from Beacon to Hopewell Junction. The trail would begin at the Beacon Metro-North station and travel past key city streets, under Route 9D, and along Route 52 before connecting with the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail, Fishkill communities, and the broader Empire State Trail system.

A final report with cost estimates and construction phases is expected by summer.

What are your thoughts? 

Protesters greeted former President Donald Trump's return to #WestPoint on Saturday, with signs reading "Go Army, Beat Trump," as he delivered the commencement address to the U.S. Military Academy’s Class of 2024. 

The demonstration, which included people waving flags and holding buckets marked “Go Army Beat Fascism,” took place just outside the gates and across the #HudsonRiver.

Inside Michie Stadium, Trump praised the 1,002 graduating cadets and their decision to serve, calling West Point the “most elite and storied military academy in human history.” But his remarks quickly shifted into familiar campaign themes. Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, Trump claimed credit for rebuilding the military during his presidency and criticized what he described as “social experiments” in the armed forces - including drag shows, critical race theory, and transgender policies.

“We’re focused on crushing America’s adversaries, killing America’s enemies, and defending our flag,” he said, warning against what he called “open-ended conflicts” and politically driven deployments.

Trump took aim at previous military and political leadership for engaging in “nation-building crusades,” and positioned himself as someone who returned the military to its core mission. He also repeated familiar personal grievances, claiming he’s been investigated more than mobster Al Capone and referencing past election wins and controversies.

Inside Michie Stadium, Trump praised the 1,002 graduating cadets and their decision to serve, calling West Point the “most elite and storied military academy in human history.” But his remarks quickly shifted into familiar campaign themes. Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, Trump claimed credit for rebuilding the military during his presidency and criticized what he described as “social experiments” in the armed forces - including drag shows, critical race theory, and transgender policies. “We’re focused on crushing America’s adversaries, killing America’s enemies, and defending our flag,” he said, warning against what he called “open-ended conflicts” and politically driven deployments. Trump took aim at previous military and political leadership for engaging in “nation-building crusades,” and positioned himself as someone who returned the military to its core mission. He also repeated familiar personal grievances, claiming he’s been investigated more than mobster Al Capone and referencing past election wins and controversies. - Follow for more #local news in HV #hudsonvalley #hudsonvalleyny #westpointny #orangecountyny #lowerhudsonvalley #highlandfalls #townsofnewyork
