Mamaroneck Police Blotters: April 26 - May 2

The Village of Mamaroneck Police Department investigated the following incidents last week:

Arrest from the court

Editor's note: A previous version of this blotter stated a local woman had been arrested on April 29, charged and remanded to the Westchester County Jail, according to information supplied by police. That information was later determined to be incorrect. The corrected report, according to police, is below.

On April 9, a complainant/victim came into Village of Mamaroneck Police Headquarters to complete a voluntary statement based on information given to investigators with the Westchester District Attorney's office. Based on those statements, charges were filed against Peter Zeigerhofer, 45, with the Village Justice Court. On April 29, Zeigerhofer, a Port Chester resident, appeared in court on criminal summons and was charged with harassment in the 2nd degree, grand larceny in the 3rd degree (D felony) and criminal contempt of court in the 1st degree (E felony). He was arrested and remanded to the Westchester County Jail.

Assault and possession of marihuana

On May 2nd, at approximately 10 p.m., Village of Mamaroneck resident Alberto Vazques, 29, was arrested and charged with possession of marihuana. Police had initially gone to him on a report that he had violated a Temporary Order of Protection, but later determined that he had not been served that order. After running a background check, police discovered a warrant, for which he was charged with assault in the second degree, a felony.

DWI

- On April 30, at approximately 11 p.m., a vehicle stop resulted in an arrest for DWI. The operator, a 29-year-old female from Pelham, was stopped by police for driving at a high rate of speed (50 mph) on West Boston Post Road. Officers had cause to arrest her for driving while intoxicated. She was issued a summons for speeding and was charged with DWI by observation and refusing to submit to a chemical test. She was released on $250 cash bail and is due back in court on May 6.

On May 2, at approximately 3 p.m., a police officer observed a power line on fire and arcing on Mamaroneck and North Barry avenues.
