MEREDITH, NY — New York State Police arrested Ryan H. Gregory, 26, of Coram at about 9 p.m. June 10 following a neighbor dispute in Meredith that left a man shot.
The investigation found that at about 2 p.m., Gregory and a neighbor were involved in a dispute on Houghtaling Hollow Road.
During the altercation, Gregory shot the 57-year-old victim, of Meredith, and two unoccupied vehicles, police said.
