RED HOOK, N.Y. >> A Saugerties woman was arrested at a residential facility in Red Hook and charged with punching a 21-year-old handicapped woman in the leg, state police said Thursday.
Annette Stramel, 51, was arrested by state police at Rhinebeck and the Justice Center of New York at 2:10 p.m. Wednesday at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health, 40 Devereux Lane, Red Hook police said. She was charged with endangering the welfare of an incompetent person, a misdemeanor.
State Trooper Melissa McMorris said Stramel “is employed by a local residential facility for people with developmental disabilities,” but she would not say whether it was Devereux.
Devereux’s Executive Director John Lopez could not be reached for comment Thursday.
