A Bronx man has been arrested for sending threatening letters to members of the Putnam County Sheriff's Department and others. 46-year-old Eugene Vitello was charged with several counts of Aggravated Harassment and Stalking.
The letters first arrived in November with one addressed to Sheriff Robert Langley, the second time a letter threatening harm and criminal offenses against his family was received within a year. A few weeks later, multiple letters were sent to the Cold Spring Police Department and the court. Vitello was arrested there in 2013 for Stalking and Harassing a business owner and that Sheriff Langley, who was a retired Law Enforcement officer at the time, had been a witness in that matter which had been adjudicated in front of the threatened Judge.
Orders of Protections were issued for all affected parties and their family members.
