On May 8, 2021, at approximately midnight, while on patrol in the Town of Carmel, Deputy Robert Weinberg observed a 1999 Toyota 4 Runner commit a traffic infraction on RT 6 in the area of RT6N. The driver pulled into the gas station at 621 RT 6 and Deputy Weinberg initiated a traffic stop. The driver was identified as Salomon O. Aguirre, of Carmel. While interviewing Aguirre, Deputy Weinberg detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Aguirre’s breath. After an investigation, the Deputy determined Aguirre was driving while intoxicated and placed him under arrest without incident.

A criminal history search showed Aguirre to have a prior conviction for DWI on January 29, 2016 in the Town of Cortland Justice Court. Aguirre was charged with Driving While Intoxicated with a previous conviction within 10 years and Driving While Intoxicated with a BAC of .08 of 1% or more. Both charges were felonies due to Aguirre’s previous conviction.

Aguirre was given an appearance ticket and released on his own recognizance. Aguirre is due back in the Town of Carmel Justice Court on May 18, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. in front of the honorable Judge Jacobellis.

May 9-15, 2021 is National Police Week. What is National Police Week?

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.

Today, Sheriff Langley held a BBQ for the members of the Department. In appreciation for all the hard work they do each and every day it is only fitting to do something special for them. He is proud of each and every member and the work that they do for the community keeping Putnam safe. We are grateful for their service and for the service of police agencies everywhere celebrating this week.

The Putnam County SPCA announces the arrest of Caleb Shuk, a 19-year-old resident of the Town of Philipstown on May 4th, 2021. In April, the Putnam County SPCA was contacted by an officer of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Police in regard to a Snapchat video that was forwarded to that agency, of an adult male killing a bat resting against a rock wall in the Sunken Mines Caves area of Putnam Valley. The suspect took a large rock, with no justifiable reason, appeared to crushed the bat multiple times causing it extreme pain and ultimately its death – all while yelling expletives about coronavirus and laughing. The Department of Environmental Conservation Police and Putnam County SPCA Law Enforcement Division were able to locate the individual, Caleb Shuk, and interviewed him at the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department. SPCA officers charged Mr. Shuk with allegedly committing one count of animal cruelty, a class A misdemeanor. Mr. Shuk will be arraigned in Putnam Valley Justice Court on the SPCA charge and additional NYS DEC Police charges on May 13th.

The Putnam County SPCA would like to thank the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Police, the Village of Cold Spring Police Department, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, and the Putnam County Probation Department for their help.
