Crimes Nearby: Attempted Murder Arrests, Thefts

A rundown of last week's police & fire stories from neighboring Patch sites.

The following information was supplied by the Nassau County Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate convictions.

Nassau County Police are investigating a robbery that occurred early Friday morning at the 7-Eleven on Hempstead Avenue in West Hempstead.

According to detectives, an unknown black male suspect entered the 7-Eleven located at 310 Hempstead Avenue around 5:15 a.m. While displaying a knife, he demanded money from two male store clerks, ages 60 and 49, and after obtaining an undetermined amount of cash, the suspect fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction. No injuries were reported.

The suspect is further described as having a slight build, 6-feet tall and wearing a white bandana over his face, New York Yankees baseball cap, black hooded sweatshirt and jeans.

Nassau County Police arrested a second Hempstead man Wednesday for an  that occurred in Lakeview in early June.

According to Special Investigations Squad detectives, the 29-year-old victim, while standing in front of 393 Bee Gee Court, was approached by Marshall Thomas, 18, of Hempstead, around 5 p.m. on June 6. After stating to the victim to “Give it up”, Thomas allegedly pulled out a .40 caliber handgun and pointed it at the victim’s body, firing it numerous times and striking the victim in the hand and neck area.

Thomas then fled the scene and entered a waiting vehicle, which was parked in front of 10 Champlain Avenue, according to police. The vehicle, which then fled the scene, was allegedly being driven by Andre Walker, 23, of Hempstead.

The victim was removed to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries. A subsequent investigation led detectives to Walker, who was located and placed under arrest on July 5. During his arrest, Walker was in possession of a gravity knife.

The continuing investigation eventually led detectives to the whereabouts of Thomas, who on August 22, 2012, was located on Woodfield Road in Lakeview and placed under arrest.

The Nassau County Police have revealed more details about  and are seeking the public's help in apprehending the suspect.

According to detectives with the Fifth Squad, a 46-year-old woman was in her Baldwin Drive home on Aug. 20 when around 12:37 p.m. she saw a white male standing in the hallway. The suspect fled the home through the rear door on foot without any proceeds, according to police.

He is described as male white, 5’8” tall, thin build, wearing black shorts, a black T-shirt, and white sneakers. There were no injuries reported.

Two men, including one from Long Beach, were arrested early Monday morning after allegedly threatening another man with an extendable baton and a stun gun and then robbing him in Oceanside.

According to Nassau County detectives, around 12:04 a.m., the 22-year-old male victim was standing in front of a home on Davison Avenue when he was dragged inside the residence by the defendants Kyle Mclaughlin, 25, of Long Beach, and Ben Atias, 25, of Oceanside.

Once inside, Mclaughlin displayed an expandable baton and Atias displayed a stun gun when they went through the victim's pockets and took prescription medication that belonged to the victim, police said. Both defendants fled in a white Mercedes Benz.

A short time later Fourth Precinct officers arrested both defendants without incident, police said. No injuries were reported.

A Brooklyn man was arrested last Saturday after he allegedly tried to purchase goods at the Green Acres Mall with counterfeit money, according to police.

Raymond Lewis, 46, is charged with 10 counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument.

On Aug. 18 at 7 p.m., police said Lewis entered Sears at 1150 Green Acres Mall and purchased a Nikon digital camera and other accessories totaling $864.58. He then tried to pay using nine alleged counterfeit $100 bills. According to police, upon Lewis’ arrest, officers found another counterfeit $100 bill in his possession.

A West Hempstead man was arrested last Friday for allegedly engaging in criminal sex acts with a child he met on the website CraigsList.

Suffolk County Police arrested David Boutin, 42, of West Hempstead, at 3:41 p.m. on Aug. 17 at the Long Island Power Authority property, located north of Route 25A in Shoreham.

All above by the original writer notwithstanding it is morally reprehensible that people who did ,Read More do not, would not send their children to public school but rather private school, religious or secular, sit on a public school board of education. They are there for one reason only ;to keep taxes as low as possible because those that elect them carry private school tuition. That is NOT an acceptable reason to direct/control/guide the education of public school students. Any position put forward that disputes this as the basis for parents of private school students being on a BOE is a lie.

I'm amazed and shocked to hear about the shenanigans. Thank you for revealing what has been goingRead More on. I will forward your article to my friends and make sure we vote for Nachum. Thank you and your family for your dedication and efforts. Stay strong. We need you ,,

Chris - Educators also receive a $200-$250 tax credit on their personal income tax returns.

It's not just the teachers... As a parent of 2 going on 3 school aged children, I'm amazed at howRead More much our free public schools cost. We get a supply list every year of things like crayons and pencils which I get, although I don't see why it HAS to be crayola. The red crayon in the box from the 99 cents store is just as red as the one in the $4 box from someplace else. Also, I don't understand why I need to send in 4 boxes of tissues, paper towels, wipes, etc per child. When I was a kid, I remember keeping a little pack of kleenex in my desk for when I needed it. I'm sure the district can buy in bulk at half the cost to us and store it in the schools until needed. Also, as far as the teachers go, I'm not sure if they do it on LI, but when I was a SBM in the NYC DOE, we had what was called Teacher's Choice which was a check for $250 that every teacher would get on March 15 (?) to help pay for the classroom supplies they bought throughout the year. It always amazed me how many of the "supplies" were purchased on 03/14. I had the pleasure of denying some of the more bogus expenses. Also, anything they would spend above and beyond their reimbursement is now tax deductible I believe. My wife, sister, cousin and many friends were and some still are classroom teachers. I know firsthand how the good ones give much more than they get in their check(s). The trick is to weed out the ones that are only in it for the money, benefits and summers off and not the kids.

lilly, i just created a group on Facebook (Hewlett-Woodmere District 14 Budget Discussion) forRead More residents of district 14 to share and question. Maybe someone on the board will look at it. Please tell your friends. A copy of the budget is uploaded and can be reviewed. I believe residents should make informed decisions. Read it and see what jumps out at you and looks good, fishy, or just normal.
lilly May 19, 2013 at 03:36 pm
thanks Shirley- we have to keep posting to vote NO for the budget- I try to go to meetings and it isRead More ridiculous to hear how no one comes to the table with ideas of how NOT to SPEND our money! If there were only more people that would attend and stand up and speak up maybe it would change.
Shirley Hanein Lane May 19, 2013 at 02:39 pm
Lilly, you are so correct that there are so many houses for sale and stores for rent. Who wants toRead More move to a district that looks like a ghost town? And let's not forget about the homes that were affected by Hurricane Sandy? People are still rebuilding. Download the budget from the district website and go over it item by item. You will see that the increases are mainly in textbooks and retirement, bus matrons, and BOCES, not "for the Kids" as the lawn signs say. District 14 is so used to getting what they ask for because no one bothers to read the budget. Many residents have drunk the Kool-Aid and would never question the decisions of the administrators or the School Board. And NOT ONE of the candidates mentions FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY! They seem to think that residents are an endless fount of money, when is that going to change?!?!?

It is possible to find a rental, though it might not be easy. Many rentals are in co-op buildings.Read More They are typically not flexible and it is unlikely that you will be able to get into one of those. Your best bet would be in a multi-family house, There you are dealing with a homeowner, rather than a co-op board and a management company, who might be willing to listen to your plight. If you find a sympathetic homeowner you will be OK. It might take patience, but you should find someplace.
