BETHLEHEM — A Bethlehem town judge has determined the prosecution’s  evidence against Ryan Albright of Altamont for falsely reporting a building to be on fire “insufficient,” and has dismissed the charge.

In April, Albright and another man, Dylan Lafave, were charged for a March 20 incident where Bethlehem Police and firefighters responded to a call at 8:05  a.m., and found no fire.

Albright was charged with fifth-degree conspiracy, a misdemeanor.

On Oct. 3, Bethlehem Town Justice Ryan Donovan dismissed the charge. 

The decision and order from Ryan says, “The statements and discovery material provided by the People put the [Albright] outside of the home where the call was made from but does not cite any specific act to further the alleged illegal activity.”
