Nude Neighbor

On Sept. 22, at 10:01 a.m., residents came into police headquarters to report that on Sept. 20 around 6:30 a.m. they saw their neighbor standing at the bottom of his stairway landing, fully nude, holding his private parts with the lights on his house. They said they had periodically observed their neighbor walking around his house fully nude. At this time, the neighbors didn’t wish to press charges and requested police only speak to him to about his behavior. Police went to the house but there was no answer at the door.

Lieutenant Anthony Bueti said this case is “one of those gray areas” as the man was in his own home.

 

Domestic Brawl

On Sept. 22 at 11:34 p.m. a caller reported there had a been fight at a neighbor's Barnhart Avenue home. Police on the scene requested two ambulances for mutual combatants involved in a domestic incident. Ambulances from Tarrytown and Ossining responded to transport two men to Phelps. Bueti said the ambulances were for intoxication rather than injury. The men seemed drunk enough, he said, he merit further observation. The fight was described by Bueti as “a light physical fight.”

Police searched for a third man allegedly involved in the fight but were unable to find him. Bueti figured this man made his way home when he heard the police were coming. No arrests were made; both men refused to press charges.
