Peekskill resident Robert Casey, age 30, was arrested after surrendering himself to Yorktown Police on Thursday, Jan. 18 on charges resulting from an incident on Monday, Jan. 8, the department announced.
According to Yorktown Police, on the day of the incident around 10 a.m., officers responded to a verbal argument in front of the BJ's Wholesale Club in Yorktown at 3303 Crompond Rd. (Route 202). There, they met with the victim and determined that a verbal fight had happened between them and Casey.
