Detectives interviewed the victim and the case is still under investigation.
Youths Given Alcohol
A man reported to police on Dec. 14 at 1:35 a.m. that his child and her friend had been given alcohol by two unknown males at the Elmsford Skating Rink. Police took the information and forwarded it to Greenburgh PD.
The complainants would follow up in with Elmsford the next day. One girl was taken to Phelps Memorial Hospital for undisclosed reasons.
Sleepy Hollow police had no further information as it is a youth matter under investigation by Greenburgh police.
Unplugged
A caller reported to police on Dec. 14 at 7:33 a.m. that there may be a problem with an emotionally disturbed person in a Webber Avenue home.
Police sent and reported that the man was gone upon their arrival. Someone at the scene told police that the house had been entered through the back door. The suspect reportedly unplugged the phone out from the wall, disconnected the thermostat, and turned off the breakers in the electrical panel.
The parties have had several issues in the past and the complainant did not wish to file any charges.
Loud Bar, Fight
On Dec. 15 at 12:48 a.m., police responded to a complaint about loud music coming from the 60 Clinton Street bar.
Police found a large group in the bar, with a fight beginning upon their arrival.
The fight immediately ended, and groups began running out of the front door. Police took employee information, liquor license info and issued a loud music summons.
Gas Leak
A River Street resident reported a gas odor in her home on Dec. 17 at 10:27 a.m. Police arrived along with the fire department, who ordered the evacuation of two adjacent homes as well.
Con Edison was called to the scene for what Police Chief Gregory Camp said was found to be a gas leak at the meters.
Minor Hit and Run
A car attempting to get away from a minor accident was stopped after a pedestrian flagged down police and pointed out what had happened.
An officer was stopped on Dec. 18 at 1:14 p.m. who stopped the car on Pocantico and Howard Street. The accident was initially reported as a car getting struck in front of Beekman Avenue but it was a property damage accident, and a very minor one at that, Camp said.
He said that the driver, from Sleepy Hollow, was not charged for anything.
Threats, Thieves
Caller reports that on Dec. 18 around 7:45 p.m., two men walked into the store, stole items and made threats.
