PEEKSKILL, N.Y. A Peekskill man was arrested Monday afternoon and charged wth threatening police with a shotgun at his home Sept. 28.
Roy Spangenberger, 57, was arrested at police headquarters by officer Chris Colucci and charged with menacing a police officer, a class D felony, in connection with an incident that occurred at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 28. His release followed a mandatory psychiatric evaluation that was ordered after the Sept. 28 incident.
Officers were sent to Spangenbergers residence to investigate a noise complaint. After police tried for several minutes to have him answer the door, he did so while armed with a loaded rifle, police said. Officers took cover and ordered him to drop the rifle, which police said he refused to do before retreating into his home.
Spangenberger surrendered after negotiators convinced him to come outside, where he was taken into custody and transported to the Phelps Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, police said. He was charged after his release from the hospital and has been remanded to the Westchester County Jail without bail.
