Dutchess County agencies issued no new arrest releases Friday. The day's public safety record rests instead on two active investigations out of Hyde Park, one involving a missing man and one a written threat at a middle school. Reporters tracked down the following heading into the weekend.
Hyde Park Missing Man Search
Shane Subburamu, 31, has not been accounted for since early November. A family member in the Bronx reported him missing to the NYPD on Saturday, November 7. The Culinary Institute of America contacted Town of Hyde Park Police on Monday, November 9, after receiving an email concerning Subburamu. His sister told Hyde Park police on Wednesday, November 11, that NYPD's information about his whereabouts was incorrect and could not be verified. Police began a ground search immediately.
Subburamu is described as about 5 feet 4 inches tall, of average build, and of Indian descent. Search areas have included the CIA campus, adjacent wooded areas, nearby railroad tracks, and the Hudson River shoreline. The Town of Hyde Park Police Department is leading the effort, with assistance from the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office, New York State Police, New York State Forest Rangers, the Roosevelt Fire District, the Hyde Park Fire District, and CIA Security.
Police say the investigation is active and the search continues. Anyone with information should contact the Town of Hyde Park Police at 845-229-9340 and ask for Detective Felicello or Sergeant McGaw.

Haviland Middle School Threat Investigation
Around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday, November 10, the Town of Hyde Park Police received notice of a threat at Haviland Middle School, located at 23 Haviland Road. A student found what appeared to be a threatening written message inside the building and brought it to school staff. Police have not disclosed the contents of the message or who may have written it.
The school was closed Thursday, November 12. Investigators are identifying and interviewing people who had knowledge of the writing, with additional student interviews and investigative steps ongoing. The case remains active.
Anyone with information should contact Hyde Park Police at 845-229-9340 and ask for Officer Passantino or Detective Felicello.

State Police Halloween Enforcement Results
New York State Police announced Friday the results of their statewide Halloween traffic enforcement initiative, which ran from Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1. Troopers issued 7,798 traffic tickets, made 243 DWI arrests, and investigated 694 crashes, including two that were fatal. Speeding accounted for 2,778 of those tickets.
The campaign focused on speeding, distracted driving, aggressive driving, and underage drinking, and included sobriety checkpoints and additional DWI patrols. Compared with last year's Halloween initiative, ticket totals rose from 7,651 and DWI arrests climbed from 196. State Police did not release a county-by-county breakdown.
Charges are accusations; defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Mid-Hudson Bridge Traffic Pattern Change
A new traffic pattern took effect at the Mid-Hudson Bridge Friday, expected in place by 3 p.m. This marks the first phase of the east approach rehabilitation winding down as construction moves into winter operations. Most remaining work will take place outside and below the roadway.
Eastbound on Route 9 south, the far right lane becomes an exit-only lane. An expanded concrete deck section lets vehicles move right sooner, with barriers separating exiting traffic to prevent weaving. Crews milled down a pavement wedge along the northern curb and repositioned concrete barriers to allow smoother snow plowing.
All usual routes and Route 9 ramps remain accessible. Alternating traffic and nighttime detours may be needed at times. Phase two of the project begins in March 2027 in the middle of the east approach, with substantial completion on track for the end of 2027.

Weather and Roads
Thursday's rain gave way to the season's first snowflakes early Friday. Meteorologist Ben Noll wrote late Thursday that temperatures would dip to the mid-30s Friday morning, with lingering rain possibly mixing with and changing to snow between roughly 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. across Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, and Dutchess Counties. Noll said roadway accumulation was unlikely in most places.
The Democrat and Chronicle reported Friday that winter weather advisories were in effect for parts of New York. The highest elevations in the lower Hudson Valley and the Catskills could see another 1 to 3 inches of snow. Lower elevations could receive a slushy coating. Rain could mix with snow in parts of Orange, Ulster, and Dutchess Counties before conditions wind down, with a drier weekend ahead.

No arrest or incident release dated November 13 was found from the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office, whose newest release remains the October 30 Drug Task Force arrest, or from the City of Poughkeepsie Police, Town of Poughkeepsie Police, Beacon Police, Fishkill Police, or the Dutchess County District Attorney's Office as a standalone release. Hyde Park's public safety record Friday was the two active investigations above.
