Re: People v, Joseph Clements
Dear Jerry:
TOWN CLERK
As you know, I am attorney to the Town of Wappinger. There was an incident in Town
Hall on November 22,2006 in which Mr. Clements made a verbal threat to the Town
Clerk, John C. Masterson. Mr. Masterson reported the incident to the Sheriffs
Department and apparently your client was arrested and charged with Harassment in the
second degree in violation of Section 240.26 of the Penal Law.
Mr. Masterson now recognizes that the comment was made out of frustration and will
agree to an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal for the incident pursuant to
CPL S 170.55 for six (6) months. It is my understanding that this matter is pending before
the Town of Fi shki II Justice Francois R. Cross and by copy of this letter I am so notifying
Judge Cross of Mr. Masterson's agreement as set forth above.
Very truly yours,
VERGILr;:IS, STENGER, ROBERTS & DAVIS, LLP
