NEW ROCHELLE, NY (April 7, 2026) — A New Rochelle teacher charged in connection with a threat case is now wanted on multiple bench warrants after failing to appear for scheduled court dates, including a follow-up appearance set to monitor his warrant status, according to court records and a court official.
Samuel McVey failed to appear on March 26, 2026, in New Rochelle City Court, where Judge Jared R. Rice issued a bench warrant, court records show.
A subsequent court date of April 1, 2026, was scheduled for an update on the status of the warrants. McVey did not appear, and the warrants remain active, according to a court official.
“At this moment he has two outstanding bench warrants which were issued on 3/26/2026,” a court official said in an email, adding that the matters “will no longer appear on WebCrims.”
The case is no longer visible in the state’s public WebCrims system and will not be updated publicly unless McVey is taken into custody or appears voluntarily in court.
Court records show McVey was previously arraigned, pleaded not guilty, and was released with non-monetary conditions.
In an email dated April 4, 2026, McVey wrote that he had been told at a prior court appearance that his “next court date was on April 1.”
The email, sent to multiple recipients, was part of a broader message in which McVey described his employment history and disputes with school officials in New Rochelle.
