Oliver Fernandez's current charges in Croton include criminal contempt for violating a protection order and unlawful dissemination of an "intimate image."
Affordable housing in Croton, yet another brilliant idea from the town. Maybe some of the planning, zoning and other committees should take a drive up to Beacon and see what great Northern Westchester town can look like.
Whether the renter was an intended victim, or a partner in crime, I am thankful that renter was able to find an apartment in our safe progressive little village. Here's why:
If the renter was an intended victim; life saved.
If the renter is a parner in crime; criminal act(s) interrupted.
Assuming the renter moved from an underserved community with a strained or less professional police force, things may have turned out really bad. Kudos to Croton PD for its restraint and responsiveness.
The fact that that renter was able to afford an an appartment in Croton had made a positive difference no matter how you look at it.
I am not saying move all of our society's struggling and vulnerable to Croton, but if every affluent suburb did what Croton attempting to do with affordable housing, our nation might truly become a greater one.
I really don’t understand what you are saying. That’s a big leap to assume the renter might have been a victim of a crime, more likely that they know Oliver Fernandez. Why would you be happy that a partner in crime was provided with a government subsidized apartment?
Oh so predictable with your response. You are not making sense. What do you think a gang member with a stolen gun was doing at someone’s apartment in Maple Commons? Do you think they were doing a Craigslist deal? You just cannot detach race from this argument, and that is exactly what you are trying to imply by bringing up the fact that if it was a homeowner, I would side with the homeowner for some strange reason. My very next-door neighbor is white, and I cannot stand him, and my ex neighbor was black, who we were constantly hanging out with. Please just stop for God’s sake!
I have no idea what the relationship between the renter and Fernandez is, but the fact that their interaction happened in Croton lead to a bad actor being apprehended quickly and with minimal force.
I don't have any confidence that if this occurred in the Bronx, Fernandez would have even been apprehended. And even if he were apprehended in the Bronx, the likelyood of force and violence would have been greater.
No shade to the Bronx. I care about lives in the Bronx. In fact, my mother lives in the Bronx. Thanks to the Croton PD for making her life a little safer.
Why would the likelihood of force or violence be greater in the Bronx? If he resisted in Croton I’m sure there would’ve been some force applied to get him to comply, and I would’ve been perfectly fine with it.
Excuse me? Do you have any idea what police in the 47 (Bronx Precinct) deal with on a daily basis? I think you’re trying to give kudos to the PD in Croton and that’s commendable, but please don’t belittle police in the Bronx by doing so. Because what they are exposed to is night and day compared to each other.
I am not belittling the NYPD, but the mass NYPD retirements, and numbers of experienced NYPD officers moving to suburban departments have consequences for NYC residents living in undeserved and high crime areas.
Hopefully, a few NYC residents from these burdened police precients will find a better quality of life in Croton thanks to affordable housing.
I do agree NYPD has serious issues right now thanks to the wokeness moment a few years back and bad liberal government the past many years in NYC and the state. Morale is at an all time low, which explains the exodus, but my point stands. What a good cop in parts of NYC deals with (on a violent level) in a month is what a Croton cop might see in a lifetime. I know that for a fact and it’s not a dig on anyone. Also, most Croton cops come in young as academy graduates. There is movement from NYPD to the burbs, but Croton is not traditionally a huge recipient of that.
Your second paragraph; I disagree completely. It’s not Croton’s job to solve the state’s problems and Croton is not even a good candidate to do so as a small village. For a town to be hellbent on doing so makes me laugh, considering we can’t even treat an important population in our school district properly.

Maple Commons should have a safety booth to check residents and non residents at the parking lot entrance.
After the last 2 incidents both people were non residents of maple commons.
Sounds like Oliver Fernandez is a bad dude.

I don’t think we can make any assumptions without further information. Those who have that information are declining to provide it.
“More likely”
If the renter were a homeowner, I bet you would assume they were a victim!
