State Troopers Help Stymie Somers Crime Spree After Break-In: NYSP

SOMERS, NY — State troopers said a Putnam County man's foray into Westchester County for mischief was cut short after a brief crime spree.

The New York State Police from the Somers barracks arrested 48-year-old James M. Kennon, of Carmel, for felony second degree burglary, felony third degree grand larceny, and felony fourth degree grand larceny.

At approximately 2:15 p.m., on July 19, state troopers were called to Lovell Street in Somers for a report of a man breaking into the caller’s house and taking property. Prior to their arrival, the suspect fled the area but was soon reported by a second caller for stealing a vehicle nearby.

The vehicle was found unoccupied in Carmel, but with the assistance of the Carmel Police Department, Kennon was apprehended at a nearby apartment complex.

Kennon was arraigned before the Town of Somers Court and remanded to the Westchester County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail or $20,000 bond. He is next scheduled to appear before the court on August 5.
