New York State Police said in a press release that on December 29, at approximately 1:27 PM, troopers responded to an area in the town of Beekmantown for a reported physical domestic incident.

An investigation determined that the suspect and the victim were involved in a verbal argument that escalated into a physical altercation, during which the suspect struck the victim in the head.

The suspect then left the area, and the victim locked themselves inside a shed. Troopers say that the suspect later returned, discovered the shed was locked, and smashed a window to gain access.

The suspect continued to act in an irate manner and went to the victim’s vehicle, where police say she removed a water tank from the bed of the truck, causing it to fall to the ground and break piping. The suspect then grabbed a piece of the broken pipe and used it to damage a vehicle door while also threatening the victim.
