Diane Valden in The Columbia Paper reports that Acting Supreme Court Judge Jonathan Nichols kept Salvatore Cascino in jail, saying at a November 1 hearing Cascino had failed to comply with the judge’s orders. Cascino lives in Westchester County, but over the past 18 years has violated federal, state, and town laws with illegal dumping, building, and excavation on his Copake farm. Cascino has been in jail since September, after 69 days in jail earlier in 2016.
