Both men were processed and issued appearance tickets for the Town of Lowville Court on July 6 at 4 p.m.

State police did not release any additional information and referred all questions to the special prosecutor’s office at the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office.

News reports link the arrests to falsified time sheets, but the DA’s office and village officials have not yet responded to requests for information.
