State troopers injured by suspect in Newfane

Once arrested, the Newfane man and the state troopers were all taken to Lockport Memorial Hospital for a number of injuries.

NEWFANE, N.Y. — Several New York State troopers are recovering after they were injured by a man in Newfane.

New York State Police said that 33-year-old Anthony Zarrillo was shooting a BB gun at a neighboring home on Wednesday afternoon. When the homeowner confronted him, Zarrillo threatened him, according to state police.

The homeowner called 911, and when troopers tried to interview Zarrillo, they say he started to fight them.

Once arrested, Zarrillo and the troopers were all taken to Lockport Memorial Hospital for several injuries.

"The troopers sustained sprained shoulder, contusions, and lower back strain. Zarrillo had a broken clavicle," state police said.

Zarrillo has been charged with two felony counts of assault, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment, obstruction of governmental administration, and criminal mischief.

A search of the New York State electric court filing system on Thursday evening did not show any future court dates for Zarrillo, who was processed at the State Police headquarters in Lockport and taken to Niagara County Jail, pending arraignment.
