On Friday, March 23, 2018, three RCS high school students were reported to be “joking” about coming into the high school and shooting it up. Click here.
We’ve received information from a reliable source that one of the Coeymans Police personnel operating one of the vehicles involved in the scandalous incident at Faith Plaza on March 12, 2018, when a defenseless raccoon was harassed, abused, and finally run over by two Coeymans Police cars. That information informs us that one of the officers involved was Coeymans Police investigator
Steven Prokrym.
Prokrym is employed by the Town of Coeymans, Coeymans Police Department as a police investigator, a mid-to-senior level law enforcement employee.
We expect that Prokrym and the other officer, whose identity is still pending but we’re expecting his name shortly, is suspended while under investigation. Any law enforcement officer known to have been involved in such irresponsible, unprofessional conduct should be terminated immediately and prosecuted.
We have asked the Coeymans Police Department and Coeymans town supervisor Crandall to explicitly deny that Prokrym was involved in the incident. We gave the Coeymans PD and Crandall until 5 p.m. on Monday, March 26, 2018, to explicitly deny Prokrym’s involvement, after which deadline we advised that we would presume the Department’s and Crandall’s silence to be an admission of the truth of the information. Obviously, we did not hear from them so we must consider the report to be true.
We are working on identifying the operator of the second vehicle involved in the incident and will report that information as soon as we have it.
