Mini Park Alert #2

A Rhinebeck man was arrested Friday afternoon after a brew in the park turned into resisting arrest.

The 55-year-old was sitting on a bench under the gazebo at the Rhinebeck Mini Park on North Park Road drinking beer around 1:45 p.m. Police arrived responding to a report of a suspicious person. When they tried to arrest him on an open container violation, he allegedly “refused by flailing his arms and pulling away from the officers,” Rhinebeck police reported.

Officers pepper sprayed him and eventually arrested him. He was charged with disorderly conduct and possession of an open container of alcoholic beverage, both violations and with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor. He was arraigned before the Red Hook town justice and sent to Dutchess County Jail on $2,500 bail.

The Journal typically does not identify those charged with misdemeanors or violations.

The Mini Park Alert!

It seems that he Mini Park in town is the hang out park… After school you see kids swarm there to meet.

I’m not too sure what the attraction is for middle & high school kids to be there – Must be the swings!

Warning !

There has been reports of kids getting roughed up, and pushed around the park.

Wondering why The Village/Town of Rhinebeck doesn’t have an after school type program in place-something for kids to do in the months before the Rec is open… Something more then sports…
