Troopers received a complaint on August 25, 2023, at about 2:30 p.m., that a Recreational Vehicle (RV) valued at over $50,000 had been missing from an RV dealership in Clifton Park, NY since July. Troopers say, the stolen RV was located in Schaghticoke, NY in Rensselaer County, and following the State Police investigation, it was determined Castle was in possession of the recreational vehicle. The vehicle was seized and returned to the rightful owner.

Troopers say, Castle surrendered himself to State Police in Brunswick for processing. He was issued an appearance ticket returnable to the Schaghticoke Town Court on October 2, 2023, and released.

Mechanicville is located in the eastern portion of Saratoga County, in Upstate New York.
