Hewlett man charged with harassment

The incident could have come straight from a movie, but what upset a 7-year-old Hewlett boy and stirred him to wake up screaming loudly is not for a child’s film.

Police said that after waking up, the boy told his parents what disturbed him. When reviewing the doorbell surveillance camera, they saw a neighbor leaving a package at the house. An occurrence that has been repeated and previously reported to the police.

The newest package was an envelope that included hateful symbols on the outside and contained letters with antisemetic remarks.

William Quigley, 52, of Hewlett was arrested on Oct. 20. He is charged with second-degree harassment, third-degree stalking and fourth-degree stalking.

Despite the presence of antisemetic statements it is not being considered a bias crime at this time. He will be arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead on Oct. 21.
