Woman Allegedly Threatens to Burn Her Neighbor's House Down

Officers made an arrest for disorderly conduct, fined a New York Times photographer for trespassing and made a warrant arrest for violation of a restraining order.

A Neighborhood Dispute

A woman who lives on the Newtown side of Pastors Walk was arrested for disorderly conduct at 10:53 on New Year's Eve after she allegedly threatened her neighbor, a 60-year-old woman who lives on the Monroe side of the street.

Lisa Gay-Robertson, 51, was released on a written promise to appear in court on Jan. 8.

Police said the Monroe woman had a confrontation with Robertson after Robertson hit her mailbox with her vehicle. Robertson allegedly became combative, threw a punch at the woman and, when officers arrived, started yelling and threatening to burn her neighbor's house down, police said.

Violation of a Restraining Order

A Monroe man was arrested on a warrant on New Year's Day after he allegedly violated a restraining order to have no contact with his daughter on two separate occasions in April.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
