Unadilla House squatters charged with theft

The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y.
·1 min read

Mar. 24—A trio of occupants of the Unadilla House were arrested earlier this month in connection with copper pipes stolen from the hotel.

Justin J. Cirigliano, 26, of Bainbridge, Daniel J. Racquet, 44, of Unadilla, and Brianna S. Wubbenhorst, 27, of Unadilla, were each charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.

Troopers were dispatched to a report of suspicious activity at the hotel and found that copper pipe had been taken from the residence, according to a media release. Witnesses reported that the stolen pipes were in a vehicle that left the area.

The copper pipe was recovered during a traffic stop on Interstate 88 in the town of Sidney. Cirigliano, Racquet and Wubbenhorst were processed at the Sidney barracks and issued appearance tickets to Unadilla Town Court on April 5.

Wubbenhorst was found to be in alleged possession of suspected methamphetamine and was additionally charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. She was issued an appearance ticket to Sidney Town Court on April 8.

Troopers have made several arrests of individuals living at the Unadilla House since early winter, allegedly without permission of the owner.

Cirigliano and Racquet were arrested last month following a physical altercation outside the hotel. Racquet was charged with assault and menacing for chasing and allegedly beating Cirigliano with a baseball bat, and Cirigliano was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance after he was discovered hiding in a closet with suspected meth two days after the assault.

Troopers also responded to a verbal dispute at the Unadilla House on March 5, but no arrests were made.

  • Myanmar's junta frees hundreds of protesters

    They streamed out by the busload from a jail in Myanmar's city of Yangon.Hundreds of demonstrators arrested during the country's brutal crackdown were released Wednesday by the ruling military junta. There was no immediate word from authorities on how many prisoners were freed. An activist group called the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners says at least 2,000 people have been arrested since protests erupted following the coup in February.The prisoners were stepping out on to streets that were largely deserted, because other demonstrators were trying a new tactic - a silent strike. In the country's biggest city Yangon many businesses remained closed. "I am not going out anywhere or participating in the ways that would disturb the silent strike. We feel courageous, because we see the action of the military council has suffered from the silent strike. Our belief in our revolution prevailing will strengthen if we are all united. That's why our spring revolution must prevail."The strike comes a day after the bloody crackdown saw its youngest victim laid to rest. A seven-year-old girl. Her father explained what happened after security forces broke in to their house. His daughter was sat on his lap. "They asked, is there anyone else (in the house) and fired the gunshot while saying, 'don't lie to us, old man'. They shot her as she leaned towards my chest. I ran and was carrying her and could not even take a look at them (security forces) after she was shot."The military had no immediate comment on the incident.About 275 people have been killed in the bloody protests, according to the activist group.The Myanmar office of the UN's children's agency says at least 23 of the dead are children.Military leaders have promised a new election but have not set a date and have declared a state of emergency.

  • Queen’s Tenth Great-Grandchild Born on the Bathroom Floor

    Alan Crowhurst/Getty ImagesQueen Elizabeth’s tenth great-grandchild was born Sunday—on the bathroom floor.Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, and her husband, the former England rugby player Mike, had not been planning a home birth but were unable to make it in time to hospital when the baby, a boy who is 22nd in line to the throne, arrived with a minimum of pomp and circumstance.The unusually informal circumstances of the latest royal birth were disclosed by Mike Tindall on the sports podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.Mike said that after watching rugby matches all weekend: “Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house.”As his co-hosts showered him with congratulations, Tindall said he was feeling “brilliant” after the birth at 6pm on Sunday night.At the time the podcast was recorded, the couple had not chosen a name, with Tindall saying: “We always struggle with that, we have never picked one before they arrive.” However a spokesperson for the couple subsequently said Wednesday: “Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall.” The baby’s second name is a tribute to Prince Philip who is due to turn 100 in June. He will have no title as Princess Anne’s children were not given “HRH” styling at her request to enable them to lead more normal lives.A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “The queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news and look forward to meeting their 10th great-grandchild when circumstances allow.”Asked if the baby was “bonny” Tindall said he weighed 8lbs 4oz and arrived “very quickly.”“We didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor,” he said.Asked if he was hands-on at the birth, Tindall revealed that a friend of Zara’s who had been present at the birth of the couple’s previous children was on hand again.“She was there and recognized that we wouldn’t have got to hospital in time, so yeah, it was running to the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get the mat on the floor, towels down, brace, brace, brace.”Tindall added, “Fortunately the midwife who was going to meet us at the hospital wasn’t that far away so she drove up, and got there just as we’d assumed the position. The second midwife arrived just after the head had arrived!”Mike said: “As every man would say, she was a warrior, they always are, we can never judge a woman in terms of what they have to go through in childbirth. She was back up, we went for a walk this morning with him and it’s all good.”Tindall said he cut the cord: “I was literally like, ‘Snip. Snip-snip. I got a boy, I’m out of here.’Tindall added: “The best thing about being at home was, as soon as he’s wrapped up, skin on skin, [we went] straight downstairs, TV room, golf on, and I’m like, ‘This is what you and me are doing.’”He said he also watched a vintage rugby game from 1996 with his newborn son.“The training has begun already, twelve hours in,” his co-host joked.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
