In Ulster County, Saugerties Police were called at around 5 a.m. Thursday, July 21, with reports of an altercation at a home on Partition Street.

Officers determined that at some point during the dispute, Robert Amirault, age 45, had destroyed the victim’s dentures by flushing them down a toilet and broke a pair of the victim’s reading glasses, police said.

Amirault was arrested and charged with felony and misdemeanor criminal mischief.

A booking photo released by Saugerties Police shows him with injuries to his face and a large bandage on his cheek. It's unclear if those injuries were sustained during Thursday's incident.
