SCHENECTADY – Cases against two protesters who allegedly chalked Schenectady police headquarters, prompting the Police Department to put temporary fencing around the building’s entrance in April, have been conditionally resolved.
A court clerk said cases against Mikayla Foster, 22, and Kasey Charles, 26, were adjourned in contemplation of dismissal on June 9.
Foster and Charles’ records will be sealed in December if the city residents aren’t arrested in the next six months, the clerk said.
The two had been charged with third-degree criminal tampering, a Class B misdemeanor, in connection with an April 13 protest outside the police station.
