Two Mills Players Among Trio Arrested For Robbery

Steve Murray, the big center and a big part of the state ranked NYM boys basketball team, and Chris Lansdall were arrested for felony Robbery early Wednesday morning.

Murray had played hours earlier in the Marauders Section III Class D-1 quarterfinal win over Remsen. Murray scored four points in the Mills 59-26 win over Remsen. Lansdall was not listed among the scorers in the game against Remsen.

Murray and Lansdall, both 18, along with a third teen, Michael Teti Jr., 19, were arrested after an incident on New Hartford St., near the Ramada Inn. It is alleged that the teens approached two men on the street and demanded money. When the men refused one of the victims was struck in the head. The teens took that man’s hat and reportedly fled in a car. They were located at a house on New Hartford St. in New York Mills and taken into custody.

All three were arraigned in New Hartford Town Court, charged with second degree Robbery, a class C Felony. They were sent to the Oneida County Jail in lieu of bail.

Murray is a 6’6” center and Lansdall is a 6’3” forward. Both are seniors. New York Mills is ranked 6th in the state in Class D and will next play Poland in the Section III Class D-1 semifinals.
