Good morning, Poughkeepsie.

Poughkeepsie police responded to multiple crimes in recent weeks— a shooting on July 18 near Main Street that injured a woman and a basketball game incident on July 20 where two men were hurt and suspects caught— while drug sales on July 22 and shots fired plus a drug raid on July 23 led to additional arrests including Rashmi Ruparelia on federal probation.

Poughkeepsie residents will see a rare sky show when two meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariids & Alpha Capricornids, peak from Tuesday, July 29th through Wednesday, July 30th.

Observers may see up to 30 shooting stars an hour and should look for dark skies away from the city.

On Thursday, members of the LaGrange Fire Department Swiftwater Rescue Team trained with sheriff’s offices from Ulster, Dutchess, and Columbia counties on the Esopus Creek in Ulster County to sharpen their rescue skills (preparing for emergencies).

Pura Scents recalled roughly 851,400 Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers on July 24 because loose magnets in the detachable cover pose a swallowing hazard that can lead to blockages, infections, or death — customers are advised to remove and discard the cover and contact the company for a free replacement.
