ALBANY COUNTY — A suit brought by four young men, transferred from jail on Rikers Island in New York City to Albany County’s jail while awaiting trial, alleges they were routinely assaulted, including sexual assault, by prison officers upon their arrival and that they were then forced to live in solitary confinement for months on end.

The Guilderland Police Benevolent Association, Albany County Sheriff's Office, and the Westmere Fire Department are organizing a breakfast to benefit the local law enforcement officers who lost their home in a recent fire. 

In the wake of a motorcycle plunging through Thompson's Lake in a Friday night drag race, the county sheriff is stressing the importance of wearing a life vest when venturing on ice.

The odor of marijuana led police to search the car, where marijuana, crack cocaine, and scales were found.
