EAST GREENBUSH — The East Greenbush Police Department has refiled paperwork with the state regarding the resignation of former officer Peter E. Lavin, a new designation that is expected to invalidate his police certification.
State Police arrested Lavin, 40, on stalking charges in July for allegedly sending several messages to his estranged wife between during a five-month period beginning in March. The messages were sent through a court-ordered co-parenting smartphone application, causing her to fear for her safety, police said. In a supporting deposition Lavin’s wife gave to police, she said her husband sent messages such as, “I hope the house burns down tonight … and you perish” and, “this is infinity, I’ll terrorize you and your unborn children.”
