Attempted Kingston home invasion leads to car crash, chase and two arrests

Kingston police reported the arrest of Orion McLeod (aka ‘Odie Ector’) and Saugerties resident Vincent Girard on a wide variety of felonies and misdemeanors.

On the evening of April 7, around 6pm, police in Kingston responded to a report of an attempted break-in at an occupied home on Clinton Avenue. When officers arrived at the scene, they saw a vehicle being driven in reverse in a hazardous manner. The driver, identified as Ector, and a passenger, Girard, were attempting to flee the area. During the attempt, the vehicle collided with a parked car, resulting in property damage.

Following the crash, Ector tried to escape on foot but was quickly taken into custody. Authorities later confirmed that his driving privileges in New York State had been both suspended and revoked. A subsequent search revealed that both individuals were in possession of illegal drugs. In addition, Ector was accused of damaging the property he had allegedly tried to enter.

Ector sustained minor injuries and received treatment at HealthAlliance Hospital before being released. Both suspects were processed by the Kingston Police Department and held overnight. They appeared in Kingston City Court the following day and were ordered to be held without bail at the Ulster County Jail.

The full list of charges is below:

Charges against Mr. Ector:
– Attempted Burglary in the Second Degree
– Criminal Mischief in the Fourth Degree (two counts)
– Driving While Ability Impaired by Drugs/Alcohol with a Previous Conviction
– Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle
– Circumventing an Interlock Device
– Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Seventh Degree
– Obstructing Governmental Administration in the Second Degree
– Resisting Arrest
– Other Vehicle and Traffic Law violations

Charges against Vincent Girard:
– Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree
– Obstructing Governmental Administration in the Second Degree
