Illegal Gun at Golf Course; Wad of Cash Stolen: Scarsdale Police

A heated encounter at Fenway Golf Club on Old Mamaroneck Road last Wednesday led to the discovery of an illegal handgun, and the arrest of a 20-year-old Connecticut man, Scarsdale police said.

Local authorities were called to the scene after a golf course employee reported he was threatened by a co-worker with a gun in the club's locker room.

Cops soon learned that one of the men involved—Cordell Hambric of Waterbury, CT—was in possession of an illegal gun, police told Patch.

Police arrested Hambric and charged him with menacing with a weapon and criminal possession of a weapon, both misdemeanors, and criminal possession of a firearm, a felony.

Hambric was arraigned in the Scarsdale Justice Court and, unable to make $5,000 cash bail, sent to Westchester County Jail. Hambric will appear in court again today; the Scarsdale Police Department is continuing and investigation.

A Scarsdale man had $520 in cash swiped from inside his car last week, police said.

The victim—a 44-year-old Crossway Street resident—told cops someone had entered his 2010 Infiniti sedan overnight on Tuesday of last week. His car had been left unlocked.

The victim told authorities he found his trunk and a door open in the morning, and a Blackberry charger missing along with the wad of cash. Items in the glove box had been strewn about the car, cops added.
