On June 3, Westchester County police advised of a psychiatric patient, dressed in a hospital gown, who fled an ambulance from the northbound lanes of the Hutchinson River Parkway. Scarsdale police assisted in searching the surrounding area for the patient – including the Weinberg Nature Center and the Saxon Woods Golf Course.
A resident familiar with the incident through a family member reported: “My son was just at Saxon Woods, and as he was walking home, he saw 10 or so police cars (and emergency vehicles). At that point, a woman on the street came up to him and said, “Do you have a ride home?” He then learned there was a person who had escaped a psychiatric facility who was ‘on the loose.’ I called Scarsdale police … [and learned] they were just assisting and that this was a matter being handled by County Police…. [My son] told me that the street right before Griffen, Barker Lane, was blocked off by a cop car.” Due to the medical issue of the incident, no further details were provided, but police believe he was found the following morning.

Arrested
On May 29, police arrested Andre Gaston, 45 of the Bronx, on charges of operating a motor vehicle with a suspended registration, having an uninspected motor vehicle and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. The arrest occurred after a license plate reader sounded a violation alert at a police checkpoint on Weaver Street. Gaston was released on his own recognizance, and the car was towed.The Village of Scarsdale Police Department just received their first all-electric police car, a Ford Mustang Mach-E.   The Mach-E is the latest in the Village’s growing fleet of electric vehicles, which consists of 4 Chevy Bolts and a Nissan Leaf. “Transportation accounts for over a third of all greenhouse gas emissions, so electrification of the Village’s fleet is a key sustainability initiative,” said Michelle Sterling, Chair of the Scarsdale Conservation Advisory Council.   “It’s fantastic how the Village of Scarsdale has been committed to lowering its carbon emissions, addressing climate change and promoting sustainability,” continued Sterling. “Expanding its fleet of electric vehicles is just one of the many steps the Village is taking to help the environment, and it makes me really proud to be a part of this community.”   The Ford Mustang Mach-E is estimated to save a minimum of $5,000 in fuel costs over the next five years, and will reduce repair and maintenance costs by 50%.

A bail of $1,500 was set following the arrest of Gilbert Sahamundi, 51, of Mamaroneck. Unable to pay, he was sent to Westchester County Jail. He was charged with failure to attach a sticker to his car, a no inspection certificate, an uninspected motor vehicle, and unregistered motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, operation of a motor vehicle without a license, second-degree obstruction of government administration, assaulting an officer with an intent to cause physical injury and resisting arrest.

Due to a language barrier, Google translate was used with one of the workers who said he placed the bag in the back of his work truck after finding it on the southbound lanes of Post Road and Evon Court unattended obstructing traffic.

When he pressed the igniter, the doors at the base of the grill blew open; there was a flash, and the resident sustained burns to his legs. There was no flame noted at the grilling surface. Based on the conditions described, members discussed the possibility of a burner control valve being accidentally left on for an extended period of time prior to ignition.

This could have caused the flash fire that resulted in the burns. Fire department personnel discussed grill safety methods with the resident.
