Four teenagers were charged in connection with the May 31 vandalism and arson at the historic lighthouse.
Three suspects were arraigned in early June:
Elvin Ayavaca (18) and Richard Barrero (19) were charged with third-degree arson, burglary, and criminal mischief.
A 17-year-old was charged as a juvenile and arraigned in Youth Part Court.
A fourth 17-year-old suspect was expected to surrender but no public update confirms this occurred.
The next scheduled court appearance was July 22, 2025, but no media outlets have reported the results of that hearing.

BREAKING: SUPREME COURT ISSUES EMERGENCY ORDER TEMPORARILLY BLOCKING FULL SNAP PAYMENTS
The Supreme Court has issued an emergency order blocking SNAP funding amid the ongoing Schumer Shutdown. Here's more from the Associated Press:
The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown, even though residents in some states already have received the funds.
A judge had given the Republican administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But the administration asked an appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund, and instead allow it to continue with planned partial SNAP payments for the month.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued the ruling, putting a temporary stay on an earlier order issued by a Rhode Island judge that required the Trump administration to disburse the full SNAP payment amount in the month of November.

FROM SUPERVISOR BECKER: WESTCHESTER MUNICIPAL CONSORTIUM ACHIEVES MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN CON EDISON RATE CASE SETTLEMENT
.jpg)
Westchester County, NY — November 7, 2025
The Westchester Municipal Consortium (WMC) — The Town of Cortlandt and an unprecedented coalition of 40 local municipalities joined forces to become a party to Con Edison’s 2025 electric and gas rate case filings before the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) announced that a three-year settlement agreement (known as a Joint Proposal) has been formally reached between Con Edison, the PSC staff, and other parties.
The Joint Proposal substantially reduces Con Edison’s original rate requests and includes several key provisions advanced by the Westchester Municipal Consortium. The Joint Proposal itself states: “The Westchester Municipal Consortium will also not oppose this negotiated Proposal, which substantially reduces the Company’s initial rate proposals and includes provisions sought by the Westchester Municipal Consortium.” READ MORE AT Westchester Municipal Consortium Achieves Major Accomplishments in Con Edison Rate Case Settlement - Town of Cortlandt, NY News
