HARRISON, NY (May 21, 2025) — A 55-year-old Newburgh man was arrested Tuesday morning on Interstate 684 in connection with a public lewdness investigation, following a coordinated effort by New York State Police, Rye Police Department, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force.
Jose M. Reyes-Marquez was taken into custody around 8:50 a.m. after authorities located his vehicle traveling southbound near mile marker 0.5 in Harrison.
