Nab Philipstown man on narcotic charges Henry P. King, Sr., 43, of Old Albany Post Rd., Philipstown, was arrested May 1 by sheriffs deputies on drug charges in an investigation which started last summer. Sheriff Raynor Weizenecker said King was arrested at the Peekskill Dude Ranch in Peekskill, where he is employed, and was charged with sale of a narcotic substance and possession of a narcotic substance, both B felonies. King was remanded to the Putnam County in lieu of $50,000 bail after arraignment before Carmel Town Justice Henry G. Fury, the sheriff said. The suspect allegedly was selling narcotic substances from his home, according to Sheriff Weizenecker, who said he faces a maximum term of 1 year to life if convicted on the felonies. Sheriff Weizenecker said Donald Taylor, 25, of Rte. 9, Philipstown, was arrested in February of this year on several counts of sale and possession of narcotics. He was arraigned before Putnam County Judge S. Barrett Hickman and released on $25,000 bail, the sheriff said, but his arrest was not announced at that time because of the continuing investigation. The sheriff said the narcotics investigation began in July, 1981, with the arrest of Frank Dorset, 24, of Main St., Cold Spring. Dorset was charged with several counts of possession and sale of cocaine and is currently on bail, awaiting trial on these charges, the sheriff said. Undercover deputies and sheriffs investigators, working in cooperation with the office of District Attorney Joseph M. CosteUo, have been investigating the flow of narcotics ipto the county, Sheriff Weizenecker said. Sheriffs investigator, Sgts.

Douglas MacCrae stopped a vehicle on Main St., Brewster, about 4:25 a.m. after he observed it being operated in an erratic manner. Cpl. MacCrae said the driver, Karen A. hatigat, l\, and a passenger, John B. DeEsso, 21, became abusive and uncooperative when he stopped the vehicle. When Deputy Sheriff Barry Bagen arrived at the scene, Cpl. MacCrae placed Karen Fatigat under arrest on charges of driving while intoxicated and disorderly conduct, the Sheriffs Office said. At that time, DeEsso attacked MacCrae and attempted to free Ms. Fatigat from custody, according to the Sheriffs Office. DeEsso was then arrested by Deputy Bagen and he began to kick, punch and shove the deputy, the Sheriffs Office said. About that time, the driver's brother, William Fatigat, 20, attempted to free his sister from the custody of Cpl. MacCrae, according to the Sheriffs Office. During the struggle, Cpl. MacCrae was kicked in the groin area, and his finger was slammed in a car door by Ms. Fatigat. The three were finally subdued, at which time another passenger in the vehicle, Charles Mineo, 22, of Scarsdale, began yelling obscenties at the deptuies and also was arrested, the Sheriff's Office said. Cpl. MacCrae was treated at Putnam Hospital Center in Carmel for injuries to his groin and left hand. Deputy Bagen was treated at PHC for a laceration of the right hand. Both deputies were released after treatment. Ms. Fatigat and DeEsso were remanded to the Putnam County Jail without bail on charges of felony assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. Ms. Fatigat also was charged with DWI. Brewster Village Justice George Turtle remanded the pair, pending a felony hearing and Grand Jury action.

BHS pupils back from Spain trip Ten Brewster High School language students recently com- pleted a 12-day trip to Spain. The students were accompanied by foreign language teacher Mrs. Susan Matra. The itinerary included stop- overs at Madrid, Avila, Toledo, Segovia, Granada, Cordoba, Se- ville and Torremolinos. The group also toured historically significant areas and, in their free time, neighboring towns. Initially they expected to enjoy temperatures in the 60 to 80 degree range (from Madrid to the south) and avail themselves of the beautiful beaches. The weather did not cooperate, however, and the group ran into a great deal of rain. Nevertheless, the group did return satisfied and stated that the trip was well worth the time and effort it took to organize it.
