Written By: Robert Cox

RYE BROOK, NY (April 22, 2022) — Jonathon Larywon, 29, the subject of a two-county manhunt, has been apprehended in Westchester and is now in custody in Rockland County.

The Village of Rye Brook Police Department located Larywon, took him into custody and turned him over to the Ramapo Police Department.

Larywon was charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon—3rd degree, a D Felony, and Menacing—2nd degree, an A Misdemeanor. He was also charged with Assault—2nd degree, a D-Felony, for a previous incident involving the same victim.

Larywon was arraigned in the Town of Ramapo and bail was set at $50,000 pending a future court appearance. He was turned over to the custody of the Rockland County Jail.

On April 20, 2022, the Ramapo Police Department received a report of a past domestic incident in the Village of New Hempstead. The alleged incident involved a female victim being threatened with a firearm in her household.

A search warrant was executed on the residence by Ramapo Police Department, and an illegally possessed shotgun and a rifle were located.

At 6:40 pm on April 20, 2022, Rye Brook Police were notified of a domestic incident involving a firearm that occurred in Ramapo, NY. Ramapo Police Department believed Larywon might have been at his mother’s residence at 5 Fellowship Lane in Rye Brook.

Ramapo Police Department asked for Rye Brook PD to check and see if Larywon was at that location.

Rye Brook police officers checked the residence initially at 6:40 pm and no one was at the residence.

After periodic checks of the location, officers observed the vehicle Larywon was reported to be driving and a male subject inside the house at 8:20 pm.

Officers at that time attempted to contact Larywon, who refused to speak with the officers or come out of the house.

To ensure the safety of the area residents, Rye Brook Police contacted Westchester County Department of Public Safety, Port Chester and Rye Police Departments who assisted at the scene to secure the area until the Westchester County Police Special Response Team could arrive to safely make entry into the residence to serve the Ramapo arrest warrant.

At 1:22 am, Westchester County Police Special Response Team made entry to the home using a robot and searched the residence for the Larywon, who was not inside the house and apparently was able to get out before police could enter.

On the evening of April 21, 2022, Ramapo Police Department was contacted by the Village of Rye Brook PD reporting that the suspect was located. He was turned over to the Ramapo Police Department.
