On June 28 around 3 AM, a 911 call was received from a resident of De Halve Maen Dr in Stony Point. The elderly homeowner was woken by the sound of banging and breaking glass at the back door of the house. Glass breaking can be heard in the background during the 911 call. Stony Point Police Officers responded in less than 2 minutes and observed a male fleeing from the residence into neighboring back yards. Patrols set up a perimeter in the neighborhood and heard a loud crash when the male apparently ran into a fence on Bontecou Dr. where he was detained by police.
