Halpin today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind partnership to monitor Suffolk County’s groundwater and identify the source of any contaminants for the potential investigation and prosecution of polluters by the District Attorney’s Office. “The short term goal here is to identify sources of pollution for potential investigation and criminal prosecution,” District Attorney Sini said. “This sends a very important message that we will not tolerate bad actors contaminating our groundwater. The long term goal is to ensure that we leave our future generations what was left to us: the ability to turn on the faucet and drink that water with peace of mind. I want to thank the Suffolk County Water Authority for this very exciting, strategic partnership, which builds upon the work we are doing

The Suffolk County Water Authority is teaming up with the Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini to monitor groundwater and investigate where pollution is coming from. Sini said they could use that information to eventually prosecute polluters of the region’s water supply.
“The long term goal is to ensure that we leave our future generations what was left to us: the ability to turn on the faucet and drink that water with peace of mind,” Sini said, calling it a “the first-of-its-kind partnership.”

Sini has announced the indictment of a Manorville man in connection with five shootings throughout Suffolk County in 2020 as well as the alleged harassment of several victims via telephone and social media.

Goal: Punish the man who allegedly abused his puppy and lied to the vet about his injuries.
A puppy suffered serious, painful injures after he was allegedly thrown against a wall and beaten. The suspect apparently lied to the veterinarian, stating that the animal was hit by a car. If found guilty, then this man must be punished for this apparent cruelty.
Coco, a Labrador puppy, reportedly endured agonizing pain for an entire day before his owner, Daniel Keelan, took him to an animal hospital. There, veterinarians diagnosed him with a fractured femur and broken ribs- injuries not consistent with Keelan’s story. Per police, Keelan kicked and punched Coco and then threw him against a wall while his children looked on. A second puppy was found at the suspect’s home, and luckily that animal was deemed unharmed.
