THE CROTON CHRONICLE -- FORMER CROTON FIREFIGHTER PLEADS GUILTY TO LEAVING THE SCENE OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. VICTIM'S MOTHER ACCUSES VILLAGE OF COVERUP

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

New from The Croton Chronicle---FORMER CROTON FIREFIGHTER PLEADS GUILTY TO LEAVING THE SCENE OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. VICTIM'S MOTHER ACCUSES VILLAGE OF COVERUP.

In a plea deal, Nicholas Edwards-Ambos will avoid jail time. His attorney says he was not responsible for the death of Richard Lent. Mayor Pugh defends the integrity of Croton’s police investigation.

MICHAEL BALTER

At about 2:30 pm on Saturday, July 15 of last year, Peekskill resident Richard Lent, Jr. died in a fiery motorcycle crash on Route 9 near Senasqua Road in Croton. Initial media reports, citing Croton police, suggested that Lent had been struck by a car, whose driver then fled the accident. However, in combing over the scene, investigators from the Croton police, Westchester County police, and New York state police found pieces of a side mirror that allowed them to identify the vehicle and arrest its driver two days later.

At first, the name of the driver was not publicly released. But a number of weeks later, News 12 Westchester identified the driver as Croton firefighter Nicholas Edwards-Ambos. This week, Edwards-Ambos pled guilty in State Supreme Court to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident, after a police investigation found that he was not at fault for Lent’s death. The charge can bring up to seven years in prison. But in a plea deal with Westchester county prosecutors, he will spend five years on probation and have a felony conviction on his record.

DEI ISSUES: UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SYSTEMS REPEALS DEI

Diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology is set to be gutted at the University of North Carolina system, as the governing board of all 17 schools in the system voted Thursday to repeal and replace DEI with a new focus on equality and nondiscrimination.  DEI ideology has spread across higher education in recent years, creating a massive bureaucracy that enforces race- and gender-based frameworks for hiring, admissions, and every other area of operation. UNC has become the latest in a growing trend of states and schools to start unwinding the initiatives and staff that push them. MORE AT University of North Carolina system repeals DEI (msn.com)
