'Concerning' Behavior Involving Children At Leonard Park By Greenwich Man Investigated: WCPD

MOUNT KISCO, NY — Police investigated "concerning behavior" by a Greenwich man at a popular Westchester Park, but found no evidence of any laws being broken.

Westchester County police issued a formal trespass notice today to a Connecticut man that bars him from returning to Leonard Park in Mount Kisco. The man was the subject of an investigation on Sunday into a suspicious incident involving his interaction with several children, according to WCPD.

Officers responded to the park at 12:13 p.m. on Sunday after receiving a report about a verbal altercation between several parents and a man who approached their children. The man was also playing baseball with the children, witnesses told police.

The man, a Greenwich, Connecticut resident in his sixties, was detained for investigation. The parents and children who interacted with the man were also interviewed.

No allegations were made that the man attempted to lure any child away from the ball field, according to police.

The Greenwich man was interviewed in the park on Sunday and again the following day when he voluntarily came to the Mount Kisco precinct at the request of detectives. After he returned to the park today, he was issued the trespass warning. He again consented to another interview with detectives, investigators said.

"While his behavior on Sunday was concerning, there has been no reported conduct on his part that would result in a criminal charge at this time," WCPD said. "He was advised that he will be charged with trespass if he returns to the park again due to the formal trespass warning."

Police said that anyone with additional information regarding Sunday's incident may call detectives assigned to the Mount Kisco Precinct at 914-241-1100.
