Irvington Police Beat: Cars Broken Into, Keys Stolen at High School, Mulch Pilfered

A look at Irvington police activity over the last week.

It wouldn't be a complete Rivertown Police Blotter without a teen busted for smoking pot. On April 14, at 3:30 p.m. members of the Greenburgh Drug and Alcohol Task Force came upon two teens sitting in a car parked at the Irvington reservoir They observed that one of the teenagers—an 18-year-old resident—had a marijuana cigarette...in plain site. Because the blunt was in plain sight, he was charged with a higher level of criminal possession of marijuana than if it had been concealed.  The teen admitted ownership, so the other person in the car was not charged. The 18-year-old will return to court on May 7. April 13: April 16: April 18: April 19:

Police: Man Caught With Pot During Court Appearance...

For charges of unlawful possession of marijuana.

A 22-year-old Sleepy Hollow man was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana Monday, while in Irvington Village Court answering a previous charge for the same crime—for which he was convicted, police said. The man—while in court—was discovered to have an active bench warrant from Sleepy Hollow police for failure to appear in court after police charged him with trespassing. The man was taken into custody in Irvington before being turned over to Sleepy Hollow PD. "We wouldn't normally search someone in court, but because of the bench warrant, we did," said Irvington Sgt. Michael Foley. He was issued another appearance ticket for Irvington court and turned over to face his charges in Sleepy Hollow.
