On November 19, 2024, Fallsburg Police responded to a residence in Loch Sheldrake for a reported domestic dispute. Upon arrival, a female party alleged that an ex-boyfriend, identified as Craig Morris Jr, damaged her vehicle with a sledgehammer.

Upon further investigation, Craig Morris Jr was taken into police custody at the scene and was transported to police headquarters for processing. Craig Morris Jr was charged with criminal mischief in the third degree, a felony, and was then arraigned in the Town of Fallsburg Justice Court by the Honorable Judge Scheinman. A full stay way order of protection was issued and Craig Morris Jr was released, scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

Shortly after being released, the female party contacted Fallsburg Police and reported that Craig Morris Jr had violated the full stay-away order of protection by sending her messages on social media and appearing before her at a residence in Loch Sheldrake. Craig Morris Jr was then taken into custody by deputies from the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office while he was at Sullivan County Family Court and he was then turned over to Fallsburg Police custody.

Craig Morris Jr was charged with criminal contempt in the second degree, a misdemeanor, and was once again arraigned in the Town of Fallsburg Justice Court by the Honorable Judge Scheinman. Carig Morris Jr was later released after posting bail and is due back in the Town of Fallsburg Justice Court at a later date.

Criminal charges are merely allegations that a defendant has committed violations of the criminal law, and as such they are not evidence of guilt. All defendants have a presumption of innocence and are entitled to a fair trial, during which it will be the burden of the State of New York to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
