TOWN OF ULSTER – A Port
Ewen man has been arrested following an investigation into a residential
burglary at a home on Route 213 in the Town of Ulster hamlet of Eddyville.

the ensuing dispute and called 911.

require medical treatment.
Colon was arrested because he had allegedly removed property from the
apartment. He was charged with felony burglary and misdemeanors of criminal
mischief and petit larceny as well as a violation of harassment.
