Updated:

Former Larchmont Mayor Josh Mandell was arrested on drug charges during a routine traffic stop in Larchmont.  According to Village of Larchmont Police, the arrest took place at 1:08am on  June 17.

Police say he was driving eastbound on Boston Post Road 50 mph in a 35 mph zone.

The vehicle’s registration had been suspended and he was taken into custody for what is an “unclassified misdemeanor,” according to Capt. Antonino Rigano.

During an inventory search of the vehicle officers discovered a white powder substance that was presumed to be illegal drugs.  The evidence has been sent to the County Crime lab for testing.

The former mayor was held at Village Hall until an evening arraignment where he was released on $2500 bail.  

Mandell served as Larchmont’s mayor from 2010-2012, and still lives on Park Ave. in Larchmont.

The problem with these types of post is that the presumption of innocence is diminished. For some reason most people automatically assume the person arrested is guilty. If and when someone is found innocent we can only hope that the information is posted with the same vigor.

Heard he was heading back from a rendezvous at Cellar Bar. That’s where the powderhorns are filled locally.

Loop,

Really??

What gives you the right to “out” an arrest of one resident of this Village if you don’t post the arrests of every resident (and state what street they live on)?

I assure you that I have ZERO connection to the person that was the subject of your outing.

What planet did you just come in from Long Time Resident? A former mayor is not just any Joe Citizen. Prominence, especially elective office, brings more scrutiny. Those are the rules and practices of generations. Sorry you are angry at the First Amendment. I bet you even consider yourself an expert on the U.S. Constitution.
