🌱 Center Moriches-Eastport Daily: SC Sheriffs Capture Fugitive

Hello, people of Center Moriches-Eastport! Diane Witek here with your Saturday Center Moriches-Eastport Daily.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sunshine. High: 31, low: 21.

Here are the top stories today in Center Moriches-Eastport:

1. According to Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, a "fugitive from justice" was brought into custody. Sean Healy, 36, was wanted on two warrants: one for disseminating obscene or intimate images of a person and one for possession of dangerous drugs, both out of Cumberland County, Toulon said. The arrest is the result of a month's long investigation involving the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office warrant bureau and domestic violence unit, and authorities in Pennsylvania.

2. "Sheriff Toulon met with new Suffolk County Police Commissioner, Rodney Harrison, to discuss how the Sheriff’s Office and the Police Department can work together to achieve their goals for the future of Suffolk County. Sheriff Toulon looks forward to an ongoing partnership with Commissioner Harrison to reduce crime and increase public safety for the people of Suffolk County." (Instagram)
3. On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she is "cautiously optimistic" that hospitalizations are beginning to plateau after the holiday COVID-19 surge. However, she announced that she is seeking to require all hospital health care workers to receive a booster shot. New York was the first state to mandate vaccinations for health care workers, and now, Hochul said that effort will continue with her efforts to require that health care workers be boosted within two weeks of eligibility, with no test-out option and only medical exemptions.
