BLOTTER: Oneida Police Department
Editor’s note: The Oneida City Police Department recognizes that persons arrested for crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
On the morning of Jan. 25, 2022, the Oneida City Police Department was notified that the Little Free Pantry located near Higginbotham Park on Farrier Avenue had been vandalized. This incident is at least the third time the pantry has been vandalized in the last two years. The Little Free Pantry is a small unlocked cupboard which sits atop of a post. Generally, the Little Free Pantry is stocked with food by local community members and is intended for anyone in need of food to retrieve it from the pantry, no questions asked.
On Jan. 31, the Oneida City Police Department was able to locate the individuals responsible for the damage during this incident after a comprehensive investigation was conducted. Timothy Hess, 23; and Devin Geary, 19, both of Oneida, were arrested and charged with criminal mischief in the third-degree a class E felony.
The Oneida Police Department would like to thank all members of the community who invest and contribute to projects like the Little Free Pantry. Resources such as the Little Free Pantry exemplify what the Oneida community stands for.
The Department also encourages anyone who witnesses any suspected crime occurring or has information about a past crime to call 315.363.2323 to report it.
Weapon investigations lead to arrests early in year
On Jan. 30, 2022, the Oneida police arrested Zachary J. Schnackenberg, 24, of Oneida for illegally possessing a handgun and over-capacity magazines. He was taken into custody without incident for the charges of criminal possession of a weapon third-degree (class D-Felony), criminal possession of a firearm (class E-Felony), and criminal possession of a weapon fourth-degree (class A-Misdemeanor). He was also arrested for an outstanding warrant issued by a nearby jurisdiction. Shnackenberg was remanded without bail to the Madison County Jail.
Schnackenberg was out on bail for a previous incident that occurred Dec. 07, in Oneida. During that incident, he was arrested by the Madison County Sheriff’s Department and charged with possessing illegal firearms, similar to the charges he was again arrested for on Jan. 30.
The Jan. 30 incident is the second of two illegal handgun seizures made by the City of Oneida Police Department during the month of Jan., with the first incident still under investigation.
