• Philipstown Man Gets Six Months in Jail (highlandscurrent.org) — A Philipstown resident has been sentenced to six months in the Putnam County jail after being convicted in Philipstown Justice Court of driving without plates, insurance, registration, or a valid license on Route 9. Prosecutors say he had nine prior suspensions and later missed multiple court dates before being arrested in November, with a local business owner also alleging he misled her about mortgage payments.
