MOUNT VERNON — Westchester County police arrested a Mount Vernon man after he attempted to flee from detectives through a first-floor window during a raid Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred at approximately 7:30 a.m. at the suspect’s residence on Pearsall Drive.
Officers from the Narcotics Unit, supported by the Mount Vernon Police and other units, arrived to execute a search warrant.
The 29-year-old suspect was immediately apprehended after a brief struggle.
