On September 29, 2025, New York State Police arrested John M. Barber, age 24, of Lake Luzerne, NY, for unauthorized use of a vehicle.
On July 22, 2025, at approximately 5:44 p.m., troopers responded to Dock Lane in the town of Long Lake regarding a stolen vehicle complaint. An investigation revealed that the victim had allowed Barber to borrow his vehicle but expected it to be returned. Barber was driving the victim's gray 2017 Hyundai and was refusing to return it. The car was later found abandoned in New York City, and the victim was informed of its location.
State Police actively searched for Barber, who was eventually arrested and processed at the SP Schroon Lake. He was released on an appearance ticket, returnable to the Town of Schroon Lake for a later date in October.
