Police are seeking Disbrow on felony criminal contempt and harassment charges, according to the Newport Dispatch. Officers describe him as homeless and say he is a familiar presence downtown, and they believe he may be staying at Whitmore Court Apartments.
What Police Are Asking From the Public
Police have asked anyone with information about Disbrow's whereabouts to contact the department, call the tips line, or reach out by email, per the report.

How New York Classifies the Felony Charge
Criminal contempt in the first degree is classified as a class E felony under New York law, according to the New York State Senate. That classification mirrors other recent Saratoga County-area cases: in a separate matter out of Ballston, investigators found that 60-year-old Patrick Vezeau of Saratoga Springs had violated an order of protection, and he was charged with aggravated family offense along with criminal contempt in the first degree, a charge that CBS6 Albany reported was upgraded to a felony because of a similar charge within the prior five years.
In another unrelated case from earlier this year, deputies responding to a disturbance on Dibona Lane in Stillwater around 3:49 a.m. arrested 24-year-old Cody Farr of Saratoga Springs, according to CBS6's report on that investigation. That case also included a first-degree criminal contempt charge, listed as a class E felony, alongside a second-degree harassment violation. Those cases are unrelated to Disbrow and do not establish any connection between the men.
