The complainant has not reported any further contact from the suspect company. 6 penal law violations were handled including 2 for harassment, 2 for drug possession, 1 for disorderly conduct and 1 for trespassing.

The second harassment complaint involved a juvenile receiving multiple requests for interaction via internet gaming. Necessary advice was rendered to the parent and no other information has been reported. 1 of the drug possession complaints came in as an odor of marijuana being present in the college townhouses. A college age student was found to be in possession of marijuana and an arrest was made. The second incident took place after an odor of marijuana was detected during a traffic stop.

The officers on duty were able to make contact with the pet owners and warnings were issued. The 3 rd complaint involved a very aggressive dog chasing a pedestrian who was running on village roads . After the dog owner was identified and contacted a local law citation was issued due to the extreme fear the dog caused.
