Monroe
Camp La Guardia resident arrested

State police arrested a 46-year-old Camp La Guardia man yesterday after he reportedly tried to use a fake check to buy CD players, cigarettes and personal hygiene items from a Wal-Mart.
Darryl Kelley, who has lived at the Chester men's homeless shelter for a year, used a forged Pennsylvania drivers license while trying to use the counterfeit check, state police said.
Police said they also found a small amount of crack cocaine in a pipe.
Kelley was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, a felony; and second-degree criminal impersonation, attempted petty larceny, and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanors.
He was being held in Orange County Jail on $3,000 cash bail.

Hi,

I came across your blog and read, "Monroe"---- which is where I am from. I used to live in Whispering Hills, (Pine Hollow) actually, and the Camp La Guardia boys would always be going through our garbage and walking around aimlessly. One lady next door found a guy sleeping on her couch when she got home from work.

How can they keep this place open when it is such a dangerous place? It totally brings down the town of Chester, making is very undesirable to live there. I moved back to Monroe, and glad I made that choice. Now I just have to figure out how to pay these outrageous taxes! Help!

Great blog! Glad I saw a neighbor on here. :)
