A Rockland County man is accused of shattering a car window and stealing a wallet at a prestigious Westchester golf club before being tracked down within hours, police announced.
The incident happened around 3:25 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 14, at the Westchester Country Club in Harrison, when an employee's vehicle was broken into and a wallet taken, the Harrison Police Department said on Monday, Aug. 18.
Investigators quickly developed a suspect description and found 59-year-old Jesse Foote, of Stony Point, driving his vehicle on the Palisades Parkway later that afternoon. Officers pulled him over without incident and took him into custody.
A search of Foote's vehicle recovered proceeds from the theft, police said.
Foote is now facing charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance, fourth-degree grand larceny, and fourth-degree criminal mischief.
