Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco III announced the arrest of Valley Cottage resident Cyril Jackson, 34, following a vandalism and resisting arrest incident late last month.
According to the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, on January 31, 2026, Jackson allegedly entered Building A of the Robert Yeager Health Center, where he caused damage to two interior doors, each with repair costs exceeding $250. After deputies became aware of the damage, Sheriff’s Patrol Officers located Jackson at a 7‑Eleven in New City.
Authorities say that when officers attempted to take Jackson into custody, he resisted arrest and became involved in a physical altercation with deputies. During the incident, additional damage was allegedly caused to merchandise inside the convenience store.
Jackson was taken into custody and charged with two counts of felony criminal mischief related to the damage at the health center, one additional count of felony criminal mischief for damage to store merchandise, as well as one count each of resisting arrest and obstructing governmental administration.
He was later released on an appearance ticket and is scheduled to return to court at a later date. All charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
