WURTSBORO, NY — The former supervisor of the Town of Mamakating is accused of twice knocking a local activist to the sidewalk. Further, the former supervisor, Duane Roe Jr., warned the activist, Andrew Weil, not to put him or his daughter on Facebook.
Ellenville Police Chief Phil Mattracion told a local media outlet his office would issue an appearance ticket to Roe, with the charge being second-degree harassment, which is a violation.
In the past, Roe has been connected with developer Shalom Lamm, who has been attempting to build a controversial 396-town house unit in Bloomingburg.
Weil said that he spotted Roe, and said “hello.” In response Roe lunged at him, and pushed him down. When Weil got up, Roe allegedly pushed him down again and threatened his safety.
