Man who accosted US Rep. Zeldin will be released to rehab
The man who accosted Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee ZeldinĀ at a campaign event in western New York will be released from jail into an alcohol treatment program, a federal judge ruled.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Marian Payson agreed Wednesday to allow David Jakubonis to enter a treatment program administered by the Veterans Administration. He will then be transferred to a halfway house operated by an organization that assists troubled veterans.
The attack on Zeldin, a Congress member from Long Island who is challenging Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, occurred July 21 at a campaign rally near Rochester.
