Red Flag standoff in Mahopac

[Marine Cpl]

I started watching this, very long winded. I stopped watching

Yeah. I skimmed it. Apparently reports of people driving by and being asked to leave well after 930pm.

Do you guys find it odd that no one is live streaming from the area?

I find all of this to be odd, to be quite honest.

I just looked, thought I seen a couple people streaming from there earlier, maybe they were pictures don't remember. The thread was moving pretty fast. They've been taken down.

Press Release -Town of Carmel Police Department

On 11/23/2019 at approximately 2:19 PM, a member of the Town of Carmel Police Department was in the area of 50 Putnam Drive investigating a prior domestic incident involving the 28 year old resident Alexander Booth. The officer hearing what he believed to be a gunshot come from the residence requested backup. When additional officers arrived Mr. Booth was observed in his doorway acting in an agitated state before returning inside his garage apartment and barricading himself. As a safety precaution officers evacuated the neighboring houses and alerted the Putnam County Emergency Response Team and Negotiation Team.
Negotiators made contact with Mr. Booth and after six hours of discussion they were successful in convincing him to surrender without incident. Thanks to their tireless efforts no civilians or police were harmed.

Alexander Booth was subsequently arrested on a felony warrant issued by Town Justice Jacobellis stemming from the previous domestic incident. Mr. Booth was charged with Penal Law 140.25 Burglary 2nd Degree a class C felony; 140.15 Criminal Trespass a class A misdemeanor; 215.50 Criminal Contempt 2nd degree a class A misdemeanor; 240.30 Aggravated Harassment 2nd degree a class A misdemeanor; 155.25 Petit Larceny a class A misdemeanor. He was arraignment in Carmel Town Justice Court.

At the conclusion of this incident NO weapons or ammunition feeding devises were found or seized, despite numerous false social media posts to the contrary.
The Town of Carmel Police Department was assisted by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and the Westchester County Department of Public Safety’s Special Response and Negotiation Teams.

Waiting for real story.

 

[Jayh42]

Aren't we all????

 

[FrankenCub]

officer hearing what he believed to be a gunshot come from the residence

NO weapons or ammunition feeding devises were found or seized

Then the earlier news report that it ended with no charges.
Guess we'll know what really kicked this off if his wife speaks out.

 

[mca90guitar]

Whole thing is fishy. Hopefully things get a little more clear but at this point Im not sure how trustworthy anything is. All I know for sure is safe act and red flag laws are BS and coumo is still a dick.

@Marine Cpl The video you posted #88 is gone already. What was it about, I missed it.

@Marine Cpl The video you posted #88 is gone already. What was it about, I missed it.

It was a man and a woman listening to the police frequencies in real time and reading news articles and blogs about the incident. They also had people giving them reports that were supposedly nearby the incident along with a live chat that people were posting stuff like we did here. They also played news cast videos. It ran live for over 3 hours.

Yeah. Very odd that it was taken down.

 

[Tisto]

I wonder how many resignations were tendered in Westchester County today?

NONE.

Ok. I went back to watch it and poof...
There's a lot on Twitter that was taken down tweets missing. He had videos cross posted from somewhere else, gone.

Freaking crap, i missed all this in my backyard. Its insane how much disinformation has been used to confuse the story.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

I missed all of this last night.

This story is all over the interwebs now

Red Flag Gun Control Standoff With Afghan War Veteran in New York

A Military Vet, known online for his pro-gun views and his posts on Instagram, was in a seven hour standoff with Putnam County, New York police after being red-flagged for having a 30 round mag (above the legal limit in NY). His house was surrounded by police, including an APC and SWAT officers.

I'm anxiously awaiting hard facts to come out of this, but pleasantly surprised to see such strong and immediate support.

 

[whauburger]

I was following this last night somewhat. A lot of very odd things imo. Doesn't make a lot of sense and many stories are crossed. Media and police info was very spun it seems also. Hopefully the true story and facts come out.

WOW

Don't know what to make of any of this yet. There is lots of misinformation being spread around.

This was posted by someone at arfcom.
All speculation, but I can for sure make more sense of of this being a domestic related loss of firearms mistakingly, or wrongly said to be a red flag confiscation.

He called it a red flag law but it was a regular OOP, which I suspect his wife obtained by going to family court so he never knew about it until the cops showed up.* This had to have happen to have the subsequent criminal contempt charge as far as I can figure.

I have a pretty good theory that explains almost everything, including why the cops are saying "nothing was seized at this incident"-sure because they seized his mags and guns from the residence he used to share with his wife. This also explains why he didn't pick up a safe act violation (yet) the stuff was in his wife's possession.

* could have been from criminal court but my story holds together better with it coming from family court because then she gets the order, the guns get seized before he knows what is going on and gets served with the order. I have a 99% complete theory that explains everything More after breakfast




We shall see.

Yeah I think that Aimless has a pretty good handle on what's going on regarding this event.
Been over there in that thread myself.

 

[Rocpo]

Bullshit.
It was NOT a red flag confiscation.
That POS has several warrants issued for his arrest from a DV incident with his wife.

Glad you're all willing to back a guy who beat his wife just cause he's live streaming nonsense that you all bought.

 

[GOPerfect]

I was thinking about this on the way to the Bills game this morning.

It is being claimed that he was turned in by a friend. Apparently a friend of his that he served with. Lots of people are calling him a scum bag and a Blue Falcon.

I wonder what his motivation was. Was he looking to screw this guy up? Or was he really trying to help a friend that he thought was in serious trouble mentally?

I'm on record stating that I'm waiting for more facts to be released.

There is a significant amount of confusion and contradictory information here.

WTF??? Over 10k already

But they stopped taking more donations. I wonder why?

Sounds like Gun Policy has taken up the fight and plan to represent Alex

Or did he want $500?
