The Saratoga County Sheriff's Office made a quick arrest on Sunday afternoon by arresting a man they say allegedly made a bomb threat that was aimed at the Walmart in Wilton. The man was charged with Making a Terroristic Threat which is a Class D Felony.

In a few weeks, those weddings that have been put on hold for the last year or so will be happening at venues throughout the Capital Region and with it comes some new guidelines.  Some might call Governor Cuomo The Wedding Zinger after a series of new Covid "wedding rules" were recently laid out.  If you or someone you know in the Capital Region plans to either host or attend a wedding t

I know what this looks like, but trust me it's not something from a "Hangover" movie. This particular State Police raid didn't happen in Hollywood, it happened in Austerlitz.  Dozens of firearms, cocaine, cash and yes, an illegally possessed monkey were seized on Thursday in the drug/primate bust 40 miles outside of Albany.

Call me a dope, but I had zero clue about the dangers of the "hairy rope" you may see on trees during the Winter. At the risk of sounding like a city boy who isn't very outdoorsy, I'm about to be totally honest with you: I have never seen this "hairy rope" looking thing on a tree, ever. Therefore, I would have no idea what it is or know that I shouldn't touch it.  I'm pretty su

Late on rent? Do the neighbors bang on the ceiling trying to get you and your unruly kids to pipe down?  Well, let's hope you have an understanding landlord! This has to be the most bizarre story to come out of the Capital Region in some time.  I literally thought this was something that you would see on 48 Hours or a Netflix documentary.  An Albany landlord allegedly didn't just try to evict his

While many Capital Region outdoor venues are planning to reopen with limited capacity in the next month or so, Governor Cuomo has been non-committal on the reopening of state and county fairs.  In fact, the Governor recently expressed his love for the Great New York State Fair in hopes of having a decision soon saying,  “I personally love the fair. I love what we’ve done with the fair...If there’s

The sites, the sounds, the smells, the demolition derby;  anyone else longing for the return of state and county fairs?  Well, you're not alone. We know how much people in the Capital Region love state and county fairs - it's part of our DNA.  Hopefully with a little good fortune, a few more months of vaccinations and the green light from the Gov., we might get back to the things we love; fried fo

Daniel in Caroga Lake writes: I know that women are emotional creatures, but every time me and my girlfriend get into an argument or a heated discussion, she cries.  We've only been dating for about year and it's not like we fight all the time, but we argued over over something stupid recently- like I don't even remember what it was -  and she started balling like her cat died.  I actually asked h

It only takes a second to share or call if you have any info. On Friday afternoon, the Saratoga Springs Police Department posted a photo of a missing teenager from Saratoga Springs that they believe may still be in the area.  They are asking you to call them if you know anything about the 16-year-old they are trying to locate.  He's been missing since February 9th.   A photo of Zachary is below: R

An annual event in Columbia County where participants team up to shoot, kill and bag squirrels is still going on as planned despite desperate attempts to end the tradition.  The 7th Annual Germantown Sportsman Club  "Squirrel Scramble" is slated for February 27th, but according to reports, some powerful entities are trying to squash the scramble.

Short tempers and quick fuzes seem to be the norm these days, but even so, this isn't exactly the type of greeting anyone should have to deal with inside a Walmart, especially when you're just doing your job. Police say a local Walmart employee has a fractured wrist after he was pushed to the ground by an unruly customer on Wednesday afternoon.  The worst part is, the elderly employee on the recei

I honestly don't remember seeing this particular Mountain Dew commercial during the first half of the Super Bowl a few weeks back, but apparently there were a million reasons to watch it.  In case you did miss it, Mountain Dew's Super Bowl spot was used to promote their newest flavor Major Melon...
