One man was arrested for using counterfeit Chase debit cards to withdraw thousands of dollars in cash from ATM machines located at Webster Bank branches on East Parkway and Popham Road May 21. Earlier that day, two suspects fraudulently withdrew $1,600 from an ATM in Rye, putting members of Chase Bank's loss prevention team on alert. With member of Webster Bank's loss prevention team, investigators were monitoring all Webster Bank ATMs for additional fraudulent activity by the suspects. Fraudulent withdrawals were then observed in White Plains, amounting to $8,770.50. Following this incident, the suspects were observed using ATMs in Scarsdale, and an investigator contacted Scarsdale police. In Scarsdale, the suspects attempted to use five counterfeit Chase debit cards at the Webster Bank location on Popham Road, with zero successful withdrawals. At the East Parkway branch, eight counterfeit cards were used, resulting in a loss of approximately $2,314. Successful fraudulent withdrawals, committed by the suspects in the three jurisdictions on May 21, amounted to approximately $12,684.50.
One suspect was observed by police, stopped, questioned and arrested on East Parkway. He was Rostislav Nespor, 43, of Brooklyn. Nespor is a native of the Czech Republic. He was charged with seven counts of second-degree possession of a forged instrument. Police observed the stack of counterfeit debit cards in his wallet while he was looking for his photo ID. He first told police he was in the village trying to withdraw money from an ATM but he was having difficulty. He said a friend had driven him there in a silver or gray Hyundai, but he could not remember where the car was parked.
During patrol's conversation with Nespor, Nespor received a phone call and spoke to the caller in Russian. The call was believed to be from the alleged driver and other suspect in the incident. This suspect fled Webster Bank on East Parkway when approached by police, and the investigation is continuing. During Nespor's arrest, a small bag containing four white pills was observed in his wallet. He said the pills were medication, but he could not provide a prescription for them. While in custody, Nespor said he needed to take the medication in his wallet "for his head, from a previous boxing injury." He requested to be taken to the hospital, and a ride was provided by Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps. At White Plains Hospital Center, Nespor was evaluated, treated and released, while under constant supervision. A New York State Trooper responded to headquarters to assist with translation and communication. Nespor said he was not feeling well because he was unable to take his medication. He requested transport to the hospital again. SVAC responded and took Nespor to Westchester Medical Center for evaluation, accompanied by two police officers. Due to the Nespor being a flight risk and due to multiple jurisdictions reporting similar crimes, the district attorney's office recommended bail of $100,000. Unable to post bail, Nespor would be remanded to Westchester County Jail. Rye and White Plains police departments were notified.

At 7:45 a.m., May 10, police and Scarsdale Volunteer Ambulance Corps were called to the Boulder Brook Equestrian Center, on Mamaroneck Road, on the report of a fight with possible physical injuries. The fight allegedly involved co-workers. Upon arrival, police saw a man walking away from the horse stables with a metal baseball bat in his hands. For safety reasons, the man, later identified as the defendant in the case – Benjamin A. Delacuesta-Ortega, 42, of Stamford, Connecticut – was placed in handcuffs until the incident could be investigated. Police then met with victim of the assault and noted injuries to his face and back. The victim told police he had gotten into disputes with Delacuesta-Ortega on May 9 and 10, and the dispute on May 10 turned physical. The argument was allegedly over a work-related issue. Delacuesta-Ortega allegedly got upset that the victim was not closing stable doors behind him when transporting horses. The victim explained it was difficult to simultaneously control a horse and close the stable door. After the verbal altercation May 10, Delacuesta-Ortega allegedly struck the victim in the face with a plastic pitchfork and broom while both men were in the stable. The impact caused the shaft of the broom to break in two pieces. The victim suffered bruising and swelling in his left eye area from the broom and a laceration, bruising, swelling and bleeding from his lip from the pitchfork. At this point, Delacuesta-Ortega allegedly grabbed the victim and threw him outside the horse stable. The commotion caused one of the horses to get frightened and kick the victim in the back, causing bruising, swelling and abrasion. The two men then stopped fighting; they exchanged words, and the victim called his brother, who was working locally. The victim's brother arrived with another brother and a friend. They confronted Delacuesta-Ortega who left the stable area and returned with a baseball bat. That is when the brother called police. After probable cause was established and depositions were taken, Delacuesta-Ortega was placed under arrest. Two ambulances arrived on scene. They took the victim to White Plains Hospital Center and the defendant, who was complaining of neck pain, to Westchester Medical Center. Both men were accompanied by patrol. Items used in the assault were collected as evidence. Delacuesta-Ortega was released from the hospital into police custody at approximately 10:15 a.m. He was arraigned at Scarsdale Village Justice court on charges of second-degree assault with the intent to cause physical injury and criminal possession of a weapon with intent to use. He was remanded to Westchester County Jail, pending his return court date of May 17. A temporary order of protection was issued in favor of the victim.
