Newburgh Police Use Tear Gas After Student Riot
Police backed by tactical units and tear gas dispersed a 500 strong rock and brick throwing mob of youths in Newburgh on Monday afternoon near South Street and the Newburgh Free Academy. Ten arrests were reported as Officer Thomas Callas was hurt and treated after bricks struck him. The unrest followed Friday's cancellation of a senior class night at NFA, with NAACP leader Clyde Sawyer opposing the tear gas.
