Ariél Zangla is reporting in the Daily Freeman Steven Brisee, a candidate for the Democratic nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. John Faso in the 19th Congressional District race next year, has been charged with grand larceny by Newburgh police. The 27-year-old Walden resident was arrested September 11, and charged for allegedly taking nearly $1,500 worth of men's clothing and household goods from the Kohl's store located off Route 300 in Newburgh. Kohl's security said Brisee was caught on camera and ultimately stopped with the items before leaving the store. “I did not take items from Kohl’s without paying,” Brisee said in a phone conversation with Zangla, Monday. The matter is before Judge Jude Martini in Newburgh, and Brisee is scheduled to appear on November 6. In the meantime, Brisee said he is moving forward with his Congressional campaign. He said the problem the candidates are having is that they are running out of money. Brisee said he will hold town hall style meetings, beginning next year, in every town throughout the 19th Congressional District. Read the full story in the Daily Freeman.
