YORKTOWN, NY — Police arrested a Bronx resident after a reported domestic incident from more than a year ago. Yorktown police charged Victor Ruiz, 26, of the Bronx, with third-degree criminal mischief, a felony.

Police said that, around 8:30 p.m. Nov. 14, 2017, officers responded to a domestic incident at a Yorktown residence.
