Cortland Man Arrested After Vandalizing Two Centro Buses

On Thursday, June 19th, officers with the Cortland County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Centro Bus Facility located on Morris Ave. in the Town of Cortlandville for a criminal mischief complaint.

During their investigation on scene, officers learned two buses operated by Centro had been vandalized while parked on the property two days prior on June 17th. An investigation then determined the suspect to be 50 year old David W. Thompson of Cortland, who the Sheriff’s Office says accessed the private property via the railroad tracks. Thompson then caused damage to the two buses; it was not mentioned what the damage was.

On Friday, June 20th, officers located Thompson and arrested him. He is facing charges of Criminal Mischief in the 4th, Criminal Trespass in the 3rd, both Misdemeanors, and Trespassing, a Violation. Thompson was transported to the Sheriff’s Office for processing and later issued an appearance ticket.

He is due in Cortlandville Town Court next month.
