A

A
Saugerties man will be in court today for car theft. Officers responded to a
report of the missing vehicle and a large woodchipper that was attached to it
Saturday morning. According to police, the SUV and the woodchipper were
found about two hours later, behind the Big Lots Plaza on Route 212. Police say
Mason Bell, of Saugerties, was arrested and charged with two counts of Grand
Larceny. Bell was released on his own
recognizance and is scheduled to reappear in Village Court today.
A
business manager at the Mamaroneck Public library has resigned, following
reports of financial irregularities. Last month, the board of trustees
discovered potential misappropriation on all the library's accounts. As a
result, the library's business official was immediately placed on
administrative leave and a financial forensic audit was initiated. Trustees
tell News 12 the investigation is ongoing, but they will take all measures
necessary to address any issues raised during the probe.
