John Reilly, the highway superintendent in Chester, a town nearly 60 miles (96 kilometers) north of Manhattan, was charged Saturday with first degree assault and criminal possession of a firearm.
State Police say the DoorDash driver had been attempting to deliver food to a residence in Reilly’s neighborhood on Friday night when he became lost and unable to navigate using the app.
They say the driver approached several homes asking for directions before arriving at Reilly’s residence.
“Reilly told the victim to get off his property, before firing multiple shots at the victim as he attempted to leave in his vehicle, striking the victim once in the back, causing serious physical injuries,” state police said.
Yes, for NYC people anything north of the Tappan Zee is Upstate
For some, it’s anything north of the Bronx.
No, Yonkers is definitely not Upstate, by any definition. White Plains might be, but is kind of just as far north as the bridge so it tracks.
That’s the Governor Mario Cuomo Bridge to you, bucko.
I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize the Mario Cuomo Bridge!
