Officers from the North Castle Police Department received a report from a Custis Avenue resident shortly before 5:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 21, stating that a potentially homeless man was sleeping under a picnic table in the yard.


When awoken by the resident’s daughter, police said that the man fled the property on foot. Police described the man as being a 5-foot-9 middle-aged African-American who was wearing a tracksuit when he fled the homeowner’s property.
