Possible Assault On Tioronda Ave. Near Wolcott Ave.; Investigation Remains Open

Several tips came in to A Little Beacon Blog this morning about a possible assault to a person along Tioronda Avenue.

At 10:30am, the Dutchess County Scanner Feed made an awareness post that there was a "heavy police presence in Beacon."

Readers wrote into ALBB with more information, at which point, ALBB emailed the Chief of Police Tom Figlia requesting a Press Release to report from, knowing that the work of the Police Department requires precision and time and that they usually do not release information to reporters during an open investigation or when actively pursuing someone at large.

At around 1:30pm, the Beacon Police Department issued a Press Release, stating that the Department is investigating a "possible, past occurred assault on Tioronda Ave. in the area of Wolcott Ave."

ALBB emailed Chief Figlia for further information on what "past occurred" means - if it means that the "possible" assault happened hours ago or days ago. A response has not been received as of this publishing.

The Press Release stated that the Beacon City School District was notified as a precaution during the investigation and check of the area. "The area was checked and there does not appear to be a specific danger to the public in that area at this time," the Police Department said in the statement.

The investigation remains ongoing. People who may have information or were witness are asked to contact the City of Beacon Police Department at 845-831-4111.
