Comments:

I cannot believe that the town of Cornwall Police posted this "incident" at the Subway on 7/5. This incident involved my daughter that was NEVER questioned. Her side of the story has never been heard by anyone. The police and the owner of Subway went solely on the account of a girl who has had many past problems with more than just my daughter without any questions asked. I find it odd that this situation was handled in such a poor manner. My daughter definitely responded in this manner to this young woman who called her a s**t first. My daughter was never served by this person. She and her boyfriend were served by a young man who was very people oriented and very nice. This young woman came from the back room of the Subway to accost my daughter on pupose, which seems to be her M.O. Good luck on seeing anything that is really true in any police blotter wether here or the Local, because it is obviously very one sided.
