Police Break Up Group Causing Disturbance at Traverse Avenue Building

A large group of people drinking and causing a disturbance in the lobby of a Traverse Avenue building was broken up late Sunday, with one person arrested after he refused to leave, according to Port Chester Police.

Police said they were called to 45 Traverse Ave. at about 11 p.m. on Sunday and disbursed the group that was hanging out in the lobby. However, police said Brandon Thomas, 19, of Port Chester, refused to leave.

As village officers were questioning Thomas, police said, he refused to give his real name. Police said that Thomas took a cell phone out of his pocket, and a driver's license fell out - so police were able to get his real name.

Thomas was charged with disorderly conduct and false personation for not giving his true name. He faces a hearing in Port Chester Village Court.
