Man Drowning In Southeast Pond Rescued After Contractor Flags Down Police
Members of the New York State Police came to the rescue of a citizen in need on Wednesday, saving a 40-year-old mentally handicapped man from drowning in Putnam County.
At approximately 11:21 a.m. on Wednesday, troopers were flagged down by a contractor working in the area who reported to police that there was a man swimming in a pond at the intersection of Route 22 and Doansburg Road in Southeast.
Police said that as they approached the pond, they saw a ripple across the top of the water, prompting the troopers to leap into action. Police Sgt. John Hennigan, a 23-year-veteran of the state police, and trooper Jason Kim, who has been on the force for two years, immediately entered the “frigid” water and saw a man, submerged in the water, face down.
According to police, Hennigan and Kim entered several feet of water and brought the 40-year-old man to the shoreline. First aid was administered to the victim, who was reportedly conscious and semi-alert. Paramedics then transported him to Danbury Hospital for further medical evaluation and treatment.
The man, who was a consumer from the Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association had been reported missing moments before he was located and saved, police said, praising the contractor who flagged the troopers.
“Thanks to the alertness of the area surveyor, the disabled man was saved," state police said.
Former Putnam Man Accused in New Fairfield Suspicious Death
Connecticut state police detectives arrested a "person of interest" on a larceny charge in connection with an investigation into a suspicious death of a woman on Candlewood Lake Road in New Fairfield. Steven Flood, 32, (no address known) was arrested while camping in the woods in Union, CT, at noon Thursday by a patrol trooper and his K9 partner, police said.
Flood is a former Carmel resident, a veterinarian's assistant and security guard who worked in Putnam and Connecticut, according to the Putnam County Courier.
Police said Flood was developed as a person of interest after they processed the scene at 26 Candlewood Road, where the unidentified woman was found dead, and once her death was ruled suspicious. Police later secured a warrant for Flood, and checked several addresses looking for him before he was found.
Flood was held on a court set bond of $100,000. Police said the investigation remains active, and neither the woman's identity nor the cause of her death has been released.
Selling a Gun for Gas Money
A woman's trip from Texas to Maine is interrupted by an arrest.
A woman who told police she was on a trip from Texas to Maine and wanted to sell one of the unregistered guns she was carrying to get money for gas will have to come back to New York sometime in the future for a court date.
Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports that on Feb. 16 the Sheriff’s Office received a call from the Precision Armory gun store at 423 Route 52. The caller said a woman was there offering to sell a handgun but lacked the required documentation to legally possess it.
Sergeant William Quick responded to the call and located the woman as she was leaving the gun store in her vehicle.
Police said the woman, identified as Theresa A. Sager, 50, of Alfred, Maine, was found in possession of two unregistered handguns—a .32 caliber revolver and a .380 caliber semiautomatic pistol—for which she did not have the required licenses.
Police said Sager told them she had acquired the firearms in Texas while living there and was moving back to Maine. She said she was trying to sell a firearm to the gun store for gas money to continue her trip.
Quick arrested Seger and charged her with two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree, a class A misdemeanor. She was processed at the Sheriff’s Office and arraigned before Town of Southeast Justice Gregory Folchetti, sitting on behalf of the Town of Kent Justice Court, and was released on her own recognizance pending a future appearance in the Kent Court.
If found guilty, she could face up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 on each count.
Police did not say if she told them how many guns she had started the trip with.
Cops: Wilton Man Ate Joint After Traffic Stop in Brewster
New York State Police alleged the CT resident was trying to hide the marijuana from them and hit him with a felony evidence-tampering charge
A Connecticut man who New York State Police said ate a joint to hide it from them now faces a felony charge of evidence tampering. He is also charged with operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs, a misdemeanor, and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.
On April 10, 2017, in Brewster, state police said they stopped a car driven by 25-year-old Alexander E. Orsher, of Wilton.
Troopers allege that while interviewing the driver they smelled a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle, and saw marijuana on his shirt and stuck in his teeth. When they asked Orsher about their observations, he said he had eaten the marijuana cigarette to conceal it from law enforcement.
Putnam Sheriff Encourages Institute Support
The Sheriff's Institute was established to advance criminal justice education, prevent juvenile delinquency, and support victims of crime.
Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith is encouraging community residents to support the New York State Sheriffs’ Institute, which began its annual Honorary Membership drive in Putnam County this week.
The Sheriffs’ Institute was established in 1979 to advance criminal justice education, prevent juvenile delinquency, and support victims of crime and their families. Institute programs include the following:
Sheriffs’ Summer Camp: Almost 900 children from across New York State attend the sheriffs’ camp for economically challenged children, which is located on Keuka Lake. The Sheriffs’ Institute pays all costs for the campers, including transportation, a week of camp, meals, and traditional camp activities like sailing, archery and crafts. The camp is in its 41st year of operation.
Criminal Justice Scholarship Program: The scholarship program provides one scholarship to the Criminal Justice Program at each of New York State’s Community Colleges. This program aims at attracting the best and the brightest students to a criminal justice vocation.
Victim Notification Programs: The Sheriffs’ Victim Hotline provides automated notification to registered victims when an inmate is released. The Sheriffs’ Order of Protection Notification Program allows individuals who have been granted Family Court orders of protection to receive alerts when those orders are served.
“The Sheriff’s Institute is our partner in providing programs that help the people in our communities,” Sheriff Smith said. “But we really rely on the support of our Honorary Members for the Sheriffs’ Summer Camp. Their support allows us to send economically disadvantaged children to camp. These kids wouldn’t have a chance to go away to camp otherwise,” he said.
Persons interested in learning more about the Sheriffs’ Summer Camp and other Sheriffs’ Institute Programs may visit www.sheriffsinstitute.org or they may call Ms. Pat Hughes at (518) 434-9091 or email her at phughes@nysheriffs.org. The Sheriffs’ Institute is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization.

An early morning fire in an unoccupied West Wind Lane home is being investigated as possible arson, according to lohud.com.
Seventy-five firefighters from the Brewster Fire Department were joined by firefighters from eight other departments to battle the 2 a.m. blaze at the Pleasant View Farms house this past week, according to lohud.com, which reported that it took about one hour for officials to get control of the flames.
The first firefighters to arrive found the home engulfed in flames, according to lohud.com, which reported that a lack of a water supply also hindered the response, leading to a partial collapse of the building.
Officials said the house was unoccupied when the fire broke out, but they could not yet provide a specific cause, according to lohud.com, which reported that the blaze was the third on the property since 2015.
