A Margaretville man was taken into custody on Tuesday for an alleged hate crime.
On Monday, New York State Troopers from Margaretville and members of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation at Oneonta responded to a Jewish Synagogue on Main Street in the Village of Fleishmanns.
Following an investigation, it was determined that 20-year-old Joseph VanBlarcom allegedly threw objects and recklessly swerved his car at three Jewish men while yelling bias obscenities.
VanBlarcom was arrested and charged with Reckless Endangerment as a Hate Crime, a Class C Felony and Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree, a Misdemeanor.
VanBlarcom was processed and transported to the Delaware County Jail for Centralized Arraignment and Processing.
