Sleepy Hollow PD: Huddle Complaint; Father Nervous About Son's Assault Rifle

20 Fraudulent Charges

A resident came into Sleepy Hollow Police headquarters to report numerous unauthorized charges made on their debit card. The first charge occurred on May 6 and the most recent on June 4, totaling over 20 charges within that period. The person requested a report be filed for documentation so they could dispute the charges with the bank.

Girl Asleep on Palmer Lawn

A caller reported that a person was unconscious on a Palmer Avenue lawn at 4:30 a.m. on June 2. Police reported that a female youth was asleep on the lawn. They transported her to headquarters and contacted her parents to pick her up. 

Sick Raccoon Killed by Police

Police reporting "putting down," with three rounds of shells, a sick raccoon on North Broadway on June 2. A caller had requested police to come their apartment building at 701 N. Broadway at 11:45 a.m. where a sergeant killed the animal.

Sink Holes

A resident reported on June 3 at 1 p.m. that he had been calling the village at least once a twice a week to report a sink hole on the street outside his home. Officers called and left a message for DPW foreman Richard Gross, requesting that cones be placed at the Harwood Avenue location until the condition was fixed.

Another sink hole was reported by a Sleepy Hollow Police officer on June 6 at 11 a.m. opposite 232 North Washington Street. Gross said he was already aware of this and would be bringing a steel plate to the area. 

Huddle Troubles

A caller on June 4 at 1 a.m. told police he asked a loud group to keep it down in the rear of Huddle Bar (the smoking area). Instead of complying, the group allegedly made more noise and banged on the window of the complainant's Beekman Avenue residence. Officers went and explained to the owner and door man that if that continued the bar would be closed.

Meanwhile the bar has on their front window a sign advising a new dress code, "effectively immediately," with no hats, no boots, no baggy clothing. They warn against loitering and conclude with, "Have fun and respect the Huddle and its patrons or you will be BFL - Banned For Life."

Car Scratches

Two cars in separate but back-to-back incidents were scratched in Sleepy Hollow.
A man reported to police on June 4 at 4:43 p.m. that his car was damaged while parked on College Avenue. He said he had just had it repaired and returned home only to find scratches all over it. Police filed a report and took pictures. 

At 5:02 p.m., a Beekman Avenue resident said her neighbor had threatened her. She said she was going to her apartment as he was leaving and he said that someone was going to get her. She also told police that she found scratches on the passenger side door of her car. 

Ball Fight

A mother involved police in a youth dispute over a ball on June 5 at 9:18 p.m. She said that three youths were playing ball in the park when an older youth took the ball and would not return it. Eventually the ball was returned, but the mother brought the kids into headquarters to make a report.

Rifles

A caller on June 6 told police he was going through legal action against his son who owes him $37,000. The Valley Street man was worried about the son's possession of an assault rifle and some other rifles and requested they be taken away.
