    Orange County, Monroe, NY +Village Mayor in Police Custody+ New York State Police have taken into police custody the Village of Monroe Mayor Jhon Karl III for assaulting a local builder from the Village of Kiryas Joel with a metal water key pipe at Orchard Hill Road. Police say for now he is in custody only for questioning about the scuffle.
    Kiryas Joel Hatzolah Ambulance Services are on the scene for the aided, who hasn’t sustained serious injuries.

    The mayor has been brought into the New York State police barracks, and the aided was transported to the hospital.

    The confrontation occurred after Karl tried to turn off the water turned on by the developer Abe Goldberger at the newly constructed home called Orchard Hill Estates. Goldberger had apparently violated the village’s water regulations because he had not correctly installed a booster station for the water, said Village of Harriman Mayor Stephen Welle.
    Water for Orchard Hill Estates, located in the Town of Monroe, is supplied by the Village of Harriman.

    U/D: 22:36
    Karl was not handcuffed during his time in police custody and he left the state police barracks about 22:15 with no charges filed and state police consider the matter closed.
    “If this could happen to me it could happen to anyone,” Karl said. “I’m hungry, I just want to go home and have some dinner.”

    when KJ basher’s are told to go to hell what makes you think that this was directed to a Jew? A Jew would never bash his brother’s in KJ. Right?

    Shlomah you are great, no one had this story when you posted it.

    I was there in the station house, and state police said to us, that this site made the storm, and as soon it went up on the site they got calls from everybody even from there bosses in Albany and from every news group, from the NY Times, Post Daily News, Ch12, Fox News and the Record.
    Keep it up, we could see that you are the leader in news more and more.

    And by the way as I said, you were right that the mayor was in the begining arrested, but with the amount of media pressure and political presure they backed off, and asked Yiddiy for some settelment and not to press charges, which he agreed on.

    If this would have been the other way around, I could assure you they wouldn’t work 5 hours on the other site to drop the case.

    And also the bias from the Record is so clear on this, its not even worth talking about.

    Wounder why they pushed Chris McKane aside??

    –If this would be in Teaneck or the Five Towns, it would not come to it.–

    yeah, the folks in Five Towns know how to avoid disputes which is why the school board elections have gone by so smoothly and quietly. Which planet are you living on? What’s going on in Five Towns makes the most serious KJ argument look like nothing.

    In general it is believed that People of KJ have a very confrontational demeanor.

    If this would be in Teaneck or the Five Towns, it would not come to it.

    I am not saying: That mayor is a known POS. (Piece of S) but a Jew should have known better.

    Just read all the comments in the record about this!

    John Carter, the builder of the house, said he saw Karl push Goldberger in the chest with the water key while holding it horizontally. When Goldberger fell to the ground, Karl stood over him and verbally threatened him.

    Monroe — A dispute over the use of municipal water erupted into a pushing and shoving match this afternoon between Monroe Mayor John Karl III, who is also the head of Harriman’s public works department, and a developer who lives in Kiryas Joel.

    The confrontation occurred after Karl tried to turn off the water turned on by developer Abe Goldberger at a newly constructed home in Orchard Hill Estates, according to Village of Harriman officials. Goldberger had apparently violated the village’s water regulations because he had not correctly installed a booster station for the water, said Village of Harriman Mayor Stephen Welle.

    Karl could be seen sitting in the back of a state police car at 5 p.m. in front of the newly built house, as workers installed sod for a new lawn. Goldberger had already been transported from the scene by the Kiryas Joel’s Ambulance Corps for a condition exacerbated by the confrontation with Karl, but not resulting from the incident, according to state police Sgt. Warner Hein.

    Hein said troopers received a call about a “scuffle” between the two men about 4 p.m.
