Tuckahoe Police Blotter June 14 – 20: Marijuana Possession, Man Assaulted, Copper Siding Swiped

Here's a look at some of the incidents investigated by the Tuckahoe Police Department for the week of June 14 – 20, 2010.

June 14:

2:44 p.m. A caller reported that he received a notice from the Tuckahoe court for outstanding parking tickets. However, he told police that the license plates associated with the tickets had been reported missing in 2007. Officers were told to be on watch for the plate, which they located on a grey Cadillac parked at 133 Sagamore Rd., at 1 a.m. on June 18. The owner of the car said he'd gotten the plates from a friend and didn't know they had been reported missing. The car was impounded and the owner told to straighten out the situation with the DMV before picking it up.

4:59 p.m. A Columbus Ave., resident told police an unknown car, with no license plates, was parked in his driveway. When police investigated, they found the ignition of the car, a Saturn, was in place and there were no signs of forced entry. Officers discovered the car was registered to Victor Patron in White Plains, but were able to locate a P.O. Box, but no phone number. Police advised the resident to have a private towing company remove the car.

June 15:

5:54 a.m. A called reported that two people were sleeping in the overpass of the Tuckahoe train station. When police arrived on the scene, they interviewed both people. Christian Vega, 27, said he was resting before heading to work at the Eastchester Stop and Shop and 19-year-old Saam Ebrahimi said he was waiting for the train to White Plains. Police told both men to go on their way.

June 17:

10:51 a.m. A caller reported seeing a black male in his 50's taking copper siding off a building on Main St. When officers located the man, who the caller had said was heading west down the street, he said workers at the building, which was being torn down, told him he could take the copper. Officers notified the owner, who said the materials couldn't be removed and the man was no longer allowed on the property. No charges were pressed.

June 18:

11:18 p.m. An Alpine Place resident reported to police that someone driving an SUV she didn't recognize had tried to park in her driveway. The driver then parked the car down the street. When officers interviewed the driver, the driver said she was making a U-turn in the driveway and was visiting someone who lived on the block.

June 19:

2:01 a.m. While officers were dispersing a group of youths near Union Place, they discovered that one was in possession of a small, clear bag of marijuana. The 17-year-old was processed at the scene and issued a summons for possession, a violation. The teen is set to appear in Tuckahoe Court on June 29.

June 20:

2:40 a.m. A 26-year-old Tuckahoe resident told police that two men had assaulted him. The resident, who had a swollen lip and scrapes on his arm, said that while he was walking past a group of people on the street, one threw a slice of pizza at him. The victim confronted the group, but when he did so, he said, two men punched him in the face several times. After receiving a description of the men, officers located them walking down Wallace St. The two, 21-year-old Ralph Angelo, Jr. from Tuckahoe and 18-year-old Matthew Tibbs also from Tuckahoe, were both charged with assault, 3^rd degree. They were released on their own recognizance and are due in Tuckahoe Court on June 22.

11:11 a.m. A resident went to headquarters to report that his car had been damaged while parked in his driveway on Underhill St. The car's windshield was cracked from side to side. The resident believes that a ball or other object may have hit the window, cracking it. Officers were unable to find what caused the damage.
