Village and Town of Mamaroneck Police Blotters

Last week, the Village of Mamaroneck Police Department investigated the following incidents:

Hit & Run

- On Feb. 4, at about 8:40 a.m., police arrived at 1100 E Boston Post Rd. on a report of a hit and run vehicle-pedestrian accident. The pedestrian told police that she was struck by a vehicle exiting a parking lot. She was struck in the knee, which knocked her to the ground, police said. EMS responded and she was taken to the hospital.

The victim, a 34-year-old Mamaroneck resident, said that the vehicle was a silver four-door Sedan and the driver a white female in her late 30s, early 40s.  

Harassment and Intimidation of Witness

- On Feb. 4, a man told police that he had been approached and threatened by a woman from Mount Vernon. The woman's boyfriend had stolen $400 in cash from a local store on Mamaroneck Avenue in January and the woman wanted the complainant to drop the petit larceny charges against her boyfriend or "he would get hurt," police said she said. The woman, Adele Wauchope, 25, from Mount Vernon, was charged with harassment and intimidating a victim/witness in the third degree, which is a felony.  

Harassment and Resisting Arrest

- On Feb. 6, at about 6:30 p.m., police responded to a Mamaroneck Avenue apartment on a report of a possible break-in. The residents told police that the two parties involved had entered the apartment unwanted and assaulted one of the men present. The man, who had questioned the subjects' behavior, was head-butted and fell to the floor. The subjects then punched the man in the face, causing physical injury, police said. He received medical aid.

The two subjects stole food from the apartment and ran upstairs, where they were confronted by police. One of the subjects was tasered for resisting arrest. A total of five police officers were involved in hand-cuffing the two men.

The tasered man was taken to a hospital, where the probes were removed, and was later charged with harassment, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and assault. He is a 23-year-old man residing in the Village. The second man, a 17-year-old Village resident, was charged with harassment and resisting arrest.

Identity Theft

- After an Orienta Avenue resident reported that his credit card number had been used to make a purchase, he was contacted by a federal agency indicating that they had arrested the individuals responsible and advised him to document the incident with the Police Department. He did so on Feb. 1st. The individuals' prosecution is pending. 

Trespassing

- On Feb. 1st, at approximately 7:40 p.m., two homeless males were arrested for criminal trespassing after police determined they had forced a door open to enter the Harbor Island East Basin locker room, which is closed during the winter. The two males were held for arraignment, police said.
