In a follow up to a story we posted last week, NY State Police from Somers arrested Anthony M. Cacace, or Somers, with Criminal Mischief in the 2nd Degree, a Class D Felony. Cacace was arrested on Feb. 28, for the incident which occured on Feb. 24.
At the time of the incident State Police believed that the suspect threw the brick through the windown and then escaped on ATV. The resulting pursuit involved a helicopter through some of the wooded areas in Somers, but were unsucessful.
We asked Trooper AJ Hicks of the Somers baracks how they came to arrest Cacace, but he could not disclose the details.
We had hoped that our reporting would result in an arrest made, and we are glad that this young man will have to face a judge for his actions, which luckily, did not hurt a state police officer. The taxpayers will have to pay for the windown replacement, but the situation could have been worse if a visitor to the barracks were injured.
State Police could also have looked to see the locations of ATV owners in the Somers area. Or perhaps a Good Samaritan came forward to turn in Cacace.
