New York Police Searching for Man Who Made ‘Unauthorized Terrain Park’
New York State Police (NYSP) are searching for Tyler F. Shaw, who they report used construction equipment to create an "unauthorized off-road terrain course" in a state park in the lower Hudson Valley.
Shaw, listed by authorities as 6'3" and 200 pounds, is currently being sought to appear in court to answer to several charges. While the crime may seem like the plot for a light-hearted comedy, the situation turned violent when police responded to the scene.
Lower Hudson Valley, NY Man Sought for Illegal Terrain Park
"The New York State Police are searching for Tyler F. Shaw for a September 2023 arrest", began a recent Facebook post from the NYSP. Police shared that in addition to the course Shaw reportedly built for his all-terrain vehicle, the 31-year-old also allegedly assaulted an officer. From the NYSP:
When approached by a Park Police Officer, Shaw struck the officer with his All-Terrain Vehicle. Shaw was arrested in October of 2023 and then failed to appear for future court dates.
