    2024-01-06

    This week in Greenport, New York, two incidents have occurred that raise concerns for the safety of the community. In the first incident, a Greenport High School graduate who was involved in the Capitol riot allegedly faked an overdose to delay his sentencing. Federal prosecutors claim he staged the incident to avoid facing the consequences of his actions. The second incident involves a Greenport couple who have been indicted for possessing fentanyl and cocaine inside their home where their 2-year-old child was living. These incidents highlight the presence of dangerous substances and criminal activity within the community.

    Christopher Worrell, a Greenport High School graduate convicted for his role in the deadly Capitol riot, allegedly staged an overdose to postpone his sentencing. Federal prosecutors found him with a bottle of pills next to him in his home, claiming it was a deliberate act to avoid facing the consequences. Worrell is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, with prosecutors initially requesting a 14-year sentence.
