Spring Valley, NY – Sheriff Louis Falco announces the arrest of Thomas Brenner, 34, of Pomona, following an incident at the Spring Valley Transportation Center.

While on routine patrol in Spring Valley, a Sheriff’s Officer was flagged down by a female who reported that a male subject had just struck her while she was seated at the transportation center awaiting a bus.

As the officer exited his patrol vehicle to engage the suspect, the male immediately became aggressive and charged toward the officer. During the ensuing confrontation, the suspect attempted to remove the officer’s department-issued Taser from its holster.

The officer swiftly gained control of the suspect and took him into custody without further incident. The female victim did not sustain any injuries.

Thomas Brenner was charged with the following offenses under New York State Penal Law:

PL 160.05 – Attempted Robbery in the Third Degree
PL 265.02 – Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Third Degree (Previous Conviction)
PL 265.01 – Attempted Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree
PL 205.30 – Resisting Arrest
PL 195.05 – Obstructing Governmental Administration in the Second Degree

The defendant was arraigned in Spring Valley Justice Court and remanded to the Rockland County Jail pending a future court appearance.

Sheriff Falco commended the swift and professional actions of the responding officer, whose decisive intervention prevented further harm.

All charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
