The City of Plattsburgh Police Department is happy to announce that all of the animals that were awaiting adoption have been placed in loving homes.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved in the recovery, care, fostering, and placement of these animals.  Without the community's involvement, we would be overwhelmed with the task of treating, caring for, and placing these deserving animals in good homes.  We will continue to place announcements on our website if more animals become available for adoption in the future.  Thank you again.

Plattsburgh City Police Officers investigated reports of abuse, neglect and cruelty to animals at Lakeside Apartments.  During the investigation into these reports, officers discovered Janie E. Abernathy, 29, of the 460 Margaret St. apartment complex was housing several cats and one dog.  The investigation revealed these animals had not been fed for weeks, kept within the apartment, infested with flees, and lived in a substantial amount of feces that was spread throughout the apartment.  Ms. Abernathy was taken into custody and with the assistance of the City of Plattsburgh Building Inspector’s office, the apartment was posted as uninhabitable.

During the collection of the animals from the apartment, officers located eight (8) cats, one of which was deceased and one dog.  All the animals in this case were transported to Eagles Nest Veterinary Hospital for medical evaluation.  A necropsy on the dead feline will be completed to determine the cause of death.
 Ms. Abernathy is being held at the Plattsburgh Police Department awaiting arraignment in Plattsburgh City Court on eight (8) counts of cruelty to animal charges under section 353 of the Agriculture and Markets law of the state of New York, a class “A” misdemeanor.

City and Canadian Pacific Railway Police are currently investigating a fatal train accident which occurred at about 5:12PM this evening near the Margaret Street rail crossing in the City of Plattsburgh.

A Canadian Pacific Railway train travelling southbound between Rouses Point and Saratoga Springs with 62 rail cars, struck an adult male who was on the railroad tracks south of the Margaret Street railroad crossing.  The male was pronounced dead at the scene by Clinton County Coroner David Donah.  An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at CVPH medical center.

The stopped train has caused traffic to be blocked at most of the railway crossings in the City while the accident is being investigated.  The Cumberland Avenue railroad bridge should be used by motorists needing to get from the south end of the City to Route 9 north.

More information to follow as it becomes available.

On August 18, 2009, at about 9:50 PM, City Police received a report that two Plattsburgh area men were overdue from a boating trip on Lake Champlain. Plattsburgh resident Linda Zeppieri reported to authorities that about 4 PM her son Matthew Zeppieri, age 21 of Plattsburgh launched his 8 foot “Zodiac” inflatable boat with outboard motor from the Old Base Marina to go for a boat ride on Lake Champlain. Matthew’s friend, Robert Peryer, age 20 of Altona, was reported to be with him.

City Police, City Fire and Clinton County Emergency Services set up a command post at the Old Base marina. A coordinated search using land, air and marine assets from the NYS Police, Clinton County Sheriff, Homeland Security and US Coast Guard was conducted of the lake and shoreline areas. Initial reports indicated that the two may have driven the boat to the Port Kent area to visit friends but after about 3 ½ hours of searching the two were located unharmed in Colchester, Vermont where they had run out of gas.

City Police remind the public that Lake Champlain is a large lake and distances are often much greater than they appear. It is important to know your position and where you are going and to file a “float plan” with a friend or relative.
