Editor's Note: Danbury Patch reported on Wednesday, July 31 that Danbury Police have charged Maxwell Mulligan with five counts of third-degree robbery. He is currently being held on $100,000 bond. 

Clarkstown police arrested a Connecticut man after stopping the car he was driving in Nyack which matched the description from Danbury, CT authorities of a getaway vehicle used in a robbery.

After receiving information from Danbury police about the vehicle allegedly used in a robbery, Clarkstown police stopped the 2002 Mercury Sable driven by Maxwell Mulligan on High Ave after it exited the New York State Thruway on Friday afternoon and arrested both occupants.

Mulligan, 29, of Ridgefield, CT, who was driving, is being held as a fugitive from justice.

Sgt. Jo Anne Fratianni said, “The investigation determined that Mulligan was also responsible for committing the robbery in CT and was subsequently charged as a fugitive from justice.” 

Connecticut is seeking to extradite Mulligan. He and his passenger, a Congers resident, also face misdemeanor charges of possession of a controlled substance, allegedly heroin and prescription pills, and possession of a hypodermic needle.

Mulligan was arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court and sent to the Rockland County Jail without bail.  He was scheduled to appear in court yesterday. The passenger was released on an appearance ticket and is due back in court on August 26.
