Sheriffs finally make arrest in tractor burglaries
By Andrew Amelinckx
CHATHAM/WEST GHENT — A Massachusetts couple has been charged by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office in relation to two Columbia County burglaries that occurred earlier this month.
Kalynn Hall, 23, of Dalton, Mass., and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Noah Wixom of Plainsfield, Mass., allegedly broke into Hudson River Tractor on Route 203 in Chatham Aug. 5 and Columbia Tractor on Route 9H in West Ghent Aug. 17 and stole power equipment worth around $13,000, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Hall turned herself in Tuesday, Aug. 25 to the Sheriff’s Office, was arrested and charged with third-degree grand larceny, a class D felony.
“She was cooperative,” said Lt. James Andrews of the Sheriff’s Office.
Wixom has been charged with third-degree burglary. He is currently being held at Berkshire House of Corrections in Pittsfield, Mass. on unrelated charges and will be facing extradition once released.
“Both of them have more charges pending,” said Andrews.
Sheriff’s Investigators Patrick Logue, Anthony Brahm and Sr. Investigator Kevin Skype recovered the stolen property from five different locations in Berkshire County.
Both the New York State Police in Livingston and the Berkshire County Drug Task Force assisted in the investigation.
Hall was arraigned in Claverack Town Court by Judge Michael Brandon and released on her own recognizance. She is scheduled to reappear in court 6 p.m. Sept. 8.
On Wednesday, Aug. 26, the Sheriff’s Office arrested Jerry W. Smart, 35, of Ghent, for an alleged burglary on Stockport Road in the town of Ghent. Smart has been charged with third-degree burglary, a class D felony, and fourth-degree grand larceny, a class E felony.
Deputy sheriffs recovered the $1,200 power equipment Smart allegedly took during the burglary.
He was arraigned in the Claverack Town Court by Judge Brandon and remanded to the county jail in lieu of $1,000 cash or $2,000 bail bond. Smart was scheduled to return to the Ghent Town Court Aug. 31.
