NEW SCOTLAND — On Sept. 28, a New Scotland man was arrested under Leandra’s Law, State Police say, while they were investigating a complaint that he was eavesdropping, for which he was also arrested.

Jeffrey C. Hyman, 60, was charged with second-degree unlawful surveillance, eavesdropping, possession of eavesdropping devices, aggravated driving while intoxicated with a child, endangering the welfare of a child, and other Vehicle and Traffic Law violations.

Leandra’s Law is named for Leandra Rosado, an 11-year-old who was killed in 2009 when her friend’s mother flipped her car while driving drunk. Leandra’s Law makes it an automatic felony to drive drunk or under the influence of drugs with a person age 15 or younger inside the car.

A release from the State Police said events unfolded this way: Troopers got a complaint at about 9 a.m. on Sept. 27 from a Guilderland resident and found an unauthorized recording device in the victim’s vehicle.

The investigation found that Hyman, who is known to the victim, used an eavesdropping device, without the victim’s knowledge or permission, to monitor the victim.

The next day, at about 9:15 a.m., as troopers investigated, they saw Hyman driving with a child in his car, whom he dropped off at a New Scotland home, before driving on.

Troopers followed Hyman, observing multiple traffic violations, and stopped him on Eagle Court in New Scotland, charging him under Leandra’s Law and on other violations.

While being taken into custody, Hyman was found to be in possession of additional eavesdropping devices, the release said.

He was processed at the Guilderland station, where he recorded a blood alcohol content of 0.14 percent; the legal limit is 0.08 percent.

Hyman was arraigned on all charges at the New Scotland Town Court where he was released on his own recognizance.
