WARREN COUNTY SHERIFF
On March 1 at around 7pm the Warren County Sheriff’s Office received a call requesting an officer respond to the Chestertown substation to assist the caller with a 19-year-old female having a behavioral issue. Prior to the officer arriving, the female, later identified as Bela R. Simonson of Olmstedville, NY had run across the road to the Buckman’s Family Fuel Co., smashed a window with a shovel, caused extensive damage inside the building, got into a 2022 Ford Transit service van and crashed it through a garage door, then fled the scene. Simonson was located around 10pm on Knapp Hill Rd in Chestertown where she had crashed the van into a ditch. She was taken into custody without incident and brought to the Sheriff’s Office Headquarters where she was processed and placed in the police lockup to await arraignment. At Warren County CAP court she was arraigned on the Felony charges of 2nd Deg. Criminal Mischief, 3rd Deg. Burglary, and 3rd Deg. Grand Larceny. Simonson was remanded to the custody of the Warren County Correctional Facility due to lack of $2000 cash bail / $4000 secured bond / $6000 insured bond and is due to return to the Town of Chester court at a later date.
