WARWICK – A 53-year-old Pine Island man has been arrested and charged with stalking, public lewdness and three counts of trespassing after he went to a woman’s apartment window at 2 Zygmunt Lane in Pine Island.
Jose Rodriguez Medrano, who was identified by a Mexico-issued ID, was arrested on January 13. The incident occurred on January 8 when the tenant reported an unknown substance was smeared on her bedroom window in the shape of a heart.
When Medrano was arrested by Warwick Town Police with assistance from Goshen Town Police, he admitted to masturbating while looking in the victim’s window and to drawing a heart on the glass.
Warwick Town Justice Peter Barlett issued a temporary order of protection for the victim.
Under the provisions of the state criminal justice report, Medrano was issued an appearance ticket to appear in town court at a later date.
