Dutchess County resident Frank Booth, age 29, of Hyde Park, was arrested on Tuesday, Dec. 21 after the Town of Hyde Park Police responded to the Citgo Gas Stop on Albany Post Road in Staatsburg.
According to Chief Robert Benson, of the Hyde Park Police, when patrol officers arrived on the scene they found the front glass broken and cigarettes spewed all over the floor.
While patrols were investigating the crime scene other officers were canvassing the area, Benson said.
