This is in the town? So how do our men in blue get there when it is smackdab in the middle of downtown Schenectday? Maybe they ought to change the lines between the town and city so to be more feasable, think of the gas it would save, and in other areas, but NO it will need a study by this governmental group or legislature or town etc. These people all need a good scauffing out of there

ROTTERDAM -- A 29-year-old man faces a felony assault charge after he allegedly cut another man with a chain saw during a fight in the middle of an intersection.
The incident occurred at 4:43 a.m. Saturday as three friends sat in a car at a stoplight at Five Corners. Police said Scott P. Peltier of Cleveland Avenue approached the car with an object hidden under his sweat shirt. When Peltier reached the car, he allegedly pulled a 14-inch chain saw from under his shirt, started it and waved it in the air.
Two men got out of the car to confront Peltier and during a struggle one of the men was hit in the arm with the chain saw, police said. The four-inch laceration required 14 stitches.
Peltier fled on foot and was taken into custody a short time later. Police said they did not know why Peltier approached the car, but said he knew the three men.
Peltier was sent to the Schenectady County Jail without bail. Police said additional charges are possible.
"hidden under his sweat shirt. When Peltier reached the car, he allegedly pulled a 14-inch chain saw from under his shirt"
I think the reporter is exagerating a bit- sounds more like hedge clippers- Try and put a chain saw under your shirt-
Funny you should say that cause I thought the same thing. I would believe that it's impossible to hide a 14" chain saw under your shirt. And tell me this one....was the chain saw running?
And furthermore, assuming the guy had to then start the device once he pulled it out...the two idiots in the car, both their heads probably oozing machismo, still thought it was a good idea to confront this lunatic...

I wonder where they find the time to do this type of stop. I mean really, I saw 2 of them sitting and chit chatting for a 1/2 hour outside my window this morning...and at least one of them had the car running the entire time (why else would he have had his foot on the brake the entire time?). And...That was the SUV!!! And does anybody notice how many gas-guzzling SUV's there are now on the force?
ROTTERDAM Appeal of sentence after 2004 plea deal denied BY STEVEN COOK Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Steven Cook at 395-3122 or scook@dailygazette.com.
A state appeals court on Thursday upheld the lengthy sentence of a man connected to the 2004 discovery of a woman’s body at a trash-strewn Rotterdam house. Shawn DeLayo, 30, offered information to prosecutors regarding the killing of 18-year-old Crystal Glasper in exchange for a plea deal in a related drug case. Glasper’s body was found tucked under the back porch of 2038 Cedarlawn Ave. the day after Christmas 2004. Had he cooperated with the investigation, DeLayo would have received as little as 2 to 6 years in state prison on his drug plea. Prosecutors, however, determined that he failed to live up to the bargain, and he was sentenced to 14 to 24 years. The information was important, Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney said. Had De-Layo been truthful, Carney said, he believes the killing would have been solved by now. “He certainly had every reason to clear things up and he didn’t, and it cost him an awful lot of his life,” Carney said. DeLayo asked the Appellate Division of the state Supreme Court to overturn the sentence, saying hearings weren’t held and his representation wasn’t adequate. The court rejected both arguments, saying the hearings weren’t asked for and his attorney made a strategic decision. But the ruling sheds more light on a case where the victim wasn’t even identified until months after she was discovered. DeLayo’s cooperation had been shrouded in secrecy, with the prosecutor in the case, Philip Mueller, taking the unusual step of requesting closure of DeLayo’s sentencing, which concerned the deal. If revealed, the information would compromise the case by making it difficult to evaluate the credibility of witnesses and could endanger potential witnesses and Delayo himself, he contended. DeLayo, according to Thursday’s ruling, provided a lengthy written statement detailing the killing of Glasper in an apartment that he shared with Dwayne Wilson in Schenectady. The ruling does not identify Glasper by name and does not indicate if DeLayo said or knew who killed her. Wilson, however, has previously been named a suspect, though Carney later declined to rule anyone out. Wilson is currently in state prison serving his own 14-to-24-year sentence on related drug convictions. DeLayo’s deal, however, fell through when prosecutors uncovered information that damaged his credibility. Information from DeLayo’s neighbors turned out to be inconsistent with DeLayo’s statements. Based on that, prosecutors determined that DeLayo failed to provide “complete and truthful” cooperation and that his statements undermined his credibility. Carney declined to elaborate much further Thursday, saying “I don’t know what the truth is, I just know he was unreliable.” Wilson and Delayo brought Glasper from the Bronx to Schenectady about a year before her body was found. She was in the area one or two weeks before she was killed, Carney said previously, with the body remaining undiscovered almost a year. Authorities have described Glasper as a courier for Wilson. She transported drugs from downstate to the Capital Region on at least one occasion, they said. She was killed somewhere in Schenectady and her body was dumped under the porch in Rotterdam, police have said.
