From LOHUD.com ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New data show the state’s decade-long decline in major crimes slowed last year as rapes, robberies and assaults increased in New York City, burglaries rose elsewhere and murders statewide were up 10 percent to 861. Motor vehicle thefts dropped 6.5 percent to just more than 20,000 while larcenies declined almost 1 percent to about 288,000 across New York. Overall, the total of so-called index crimes was marginally lower than the previous year at almost 449,000 but about 20 percent below 2001 totals. Violent crimes, up about 1 percent from 2009, were still 23 percent lower than a decade earlier even as the state population inched up. Department of Criminal Justice Services spokesman John Caher says preliminary data from this winter show a further drop. DUTCHESS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE Poughkeepsie, New York PRESS RELEASEFor immediate release Contact: Deputy TJ Hanlon, Public Information Officer (845) 475-8121 – Press Inquiries Only Operation: Pill Purge – Sheriff’s Office Announces Initiative to Safely Dispose of Pharmaceuticals “Operation: Pill Purge” is an initiative to provide numerous locations throughout Dutchess County for residents to safely turn in unwanted or expired pharmaceuticals. The purpose is to decrease the chance for these medications to be used or abused and to ensure they are disposed of in a manner which is safe for the environment. Operation: Pill Purge is a joint effort between the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office and the County of Dutchess. There will be designated days and drop-off locations (listed below) for residents to dispose of unwanted, expired, or unused prescriptions and other drugs (including over the counter and pet medications). These drugs can be a safety hazard for children, adolescents, and adults who may (knowingly or not) take them. Prescription drug diversion is a growing problem among teenagers, and by disposing of unwanted medications they are kept out of the reach of curious hands. Each location will be manned by a uniformed Deputy Sheriff who will maintain custody & control over the items turned in. At the completion of this initiative, all items will be brought to the Dutchess County Resource Recovery Agency for destruction by incineration.

Aaron N. King, 22, of Pennsylvania, was charged with third-degree burglary, a felony, and petty larceny, a misdemeanor. Police alleged he was temporarily sleeping in Murrow Park on Lakeside Drive where the recreation center is located. The food items were recovered by deputies. King was arraigned in Town of Pawling Court and remanded to Dutchess Count Jail on $2,500 cash or $10,000 bond bail. His court date was set for April 14. Because the court was closed Saturday, it’s not immediately clear what the status of the case is. Reach Sarah Bradshaw at sbradshaw@poughkeepsiejournal.com or 845-437-4811. From LOHUD.com on April 7, 2011 SOUTHEAST — Police are on the lookout for a four-door silver pickup truck after a Henry H. Wells Middle School student reported Thursday that a man in that type of a vehicle offered him a ride home after he was dropped off at his bus stop. The boy ran home after the 4:10 p.m. incident and told his parents, who then called police, according to a notice posted today on the Brewster Central School District website. State police said the incident took place on Sherwood Hill Road near Bridey Lane, not far from the Connecticut line. Police said they do not know the make of the truck. A white man was driving the truck and he had a black goatee and was wearing a red baseball cap. He offered the boy food to get into the truck, the notice says. In an email to parents, Wells Middle School Principal Michelle Gosh advises them to use the incident to talk to their children about safety. The boy in question did the right thing by running away and alerting an adult, police said. State police are searching for the suspect vehicle, as are employees with the Brewster schools Transportation Department.
