VERNON, NY —
A late-night call turned into a serious arrest in the Village of Vernon early Saturday morning.

According to incident records, authorities responded around 2:24 AM on April 26, 2026, to what was classified as a domestic-family offense. By 4:03 AM, a 31-year-old man identified as Sean M. Tarry of Sherrill, NY was taken into custody.

He is now facing two counts of Criminal Obstruction of Breathing or Blood Circulation, a Class A misdemeanor under New York State law. The charges stem from allegations involving applying pressure that restricted breathing or circulation, which is considered a serious offense due to the potential for life-threatening harm.

The arrest was handled out of the Sullivan station, and the suspect is currently listed under central arraignment status, meaning he is awaiting formal court proceedings.

At this time, no additional details about the victim or the circumstances leading up to the incident have been publicly released.

What This Charge Means

Criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation is not a minor accusation. In New York, it typically involves:

Blocking someone’s airway (nose or mouth)
Applying pressure to the throat or neck
Restricting blood flow

These cases are taken seriously due to the high risk of injury or worse.

What Happens Next

The case will now move through the court system, starting with arraignment where charges are formally presented.
