On August 6 at about 8:45 p.m. the Town of Ramapo PD responded to a report of wires down on Old Nyack Turnpike west of Kennedy Drive in the Village of Chestnut Ridge. Responding officers arrived on the scene and found that a 2007 Chevrolet truck was overturned on its side with wires on top of it.

The driver of the vehicle was Wojciech Niespodziewanski (male-age 34) of Spring Valley, NY. He was transported by Hatzolah Ambulance to Good Samaritan Hospital where he was treated and released to police custody.

GRAND LARCENY INVESTIGATION / ARREST
On the evening of August 3, Ramapo officers responded to a suspicious incident at a residence in the Village of Montebello. A female was home with her granddaughter, when a solicitor came to her door asking to shine the wheels on her car for $20. After the work was done, the suspect entered the house for his payment, and the homeowner reports leaving him alone for a brief moment. After he was paid and left the area, the victim noticed that two of three wedding rings were missing from a table in her front foyer.
Assisted by the complainant, Ramapo PD began their investigation by determining the full name of the suspect. During this investigation, the suspect was contacted, and admitted guilt to the officers.

DWI
Last weekend Suffern PD charged a 24-year-old Suffern man with DWI. An officer on patrol at 2:15 a.m. observed a vehicle on Washington Ave. at the intersection of Lafayette Ave. idling and not moving when the light at this location turned green. The officer then pulled behind this vehicle and when he approached the driver he observed him to be passed out behind the wheel. After several knocks on the window by the officer the driver woke up and was found to be intoxicated. He was placed under arrest and taken to police HQ where he was given a breathalyzer test with the results being above .08 percent. He was released pending a future court date in Suffern Justice Court.
WEEKEND ARRESTS IN THE VILLAGE
Chief Osborne announced that Suffern PD made arrests this weekend, including a 55-year-old Suffern man who was charged on Saturday morning with felony criminal mischief. The man allegedly got into an argument with an employee inside of the Lafayette Ave. Dunkin Donuts and after the argument he “unwisely” decided to intentionally kick the front glass door of this business, shattering same.
Officers quickly arrived on the scene and placed the suspect, who was still at this location, under arrest. While at police HQ it was determined that the defendant had two prior felony convictions and due to this he was arraigned and sent to the county jail without bail pending a future court date here in Suffern. Have a good, safe day my friends.
