Hudson Valley landlord advocate Richard Lanzarone, lead plaintiff in the article 78 court proceeding which failed to overturn rent stabilization in the city of Kingston, was taken in hand by state police at 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning in Marbletown. The 72-year-old was arrested and charged with one count of unlawful imprisonment in the 2nd degree — a class A misdemeanor describing a person unlawfully restraining another person.
Pressed for further information, State Police advised that they could not share anything more over the phone and that a FOIL request would have to be filed for any anything further.
Lanzarone previously made the news on multiple occasions challenging housing vacancy studies in the cities of Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Nyack and Kingston.
