An Island Park man was arrested after police say he harassed an 18-year-old food delivery worker who stopped to pray outside a residence near 6 p.m. on Dec. 3.
After completing a delivery, the man took a prayer mat from his vehicle, placed it on the ground and began to pray, according to police. A neighboring resident allegedly began yelling at him, using derogatory language, police said. When the victim explained he was praying, Thomas McGarry, 67, allegedly made a violent threat.
After the subsequent investigation, McGarry was arrested and charged with aggravated harassment.
He was issued an appearance ticket and is scheduled to return to First District Court on Dec. 24.
