POMONA, NY – Rockland County Sheriff Lou Falco Under Fire: News12 has uncovered a racist post shared by the Sheriff on his personal Facebook page.

The article, entitled “Racist Black Thugs Shoot White Baby in the Face for the Fun of It,” is referring to an incident that occurred in 2013 in Georgia. Sheriff Falco told News12 that he shared the post by mistake and that he meant to share it through Facebook Messenger privately.

The article which can be seen below, is from a pro-white supremacist news outlet. 

Wilbur Aldridge of the Rockland County NAACP, says the content is especially concerning because he is a public servant appointed to serve the people. News 12 reached out to the Rockland County Executive Ed Day but has not heard back. We will update this post when Day responds.

Calls for Sheriff Falco’s resignation have already begun. Sources tell us that protests are being organized and will be announced in the coming days. Video by News 12 Hudson Valley.

Recently, a resident posted this picture of a large black rat snake at Congers Lake. Town staff was sent to identify and locate it and the photo was sent to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation experts who identified it as an extremely large native black rat snake. According to the DEC these snakes average three to five feet but can grow to as large as eight feet. It is not venomous and poses NO harm to people. It is prime season to see them as they emerge from hibernation and the temperature is still cool out. They feed on mice, voles, small birds and eggs etc.
If you see this snake or others like it just give it space, they will be slower this time of year due to weather and will pose no harm to any residents. If you have any questions related to wildlife please call DEC region 3 general wildlife line 845-256-3098. If you see a snake like this at Congers Lake realize that is its natural habitat and please give it space.
