SOUTH FALLSBURG — The call came into to the Fallsburg Police Department on Friday, January 9 at approximately 12:40 p.m. that a man in an apartment on Main Street has passed out as a result of what appeared to be an unknown head injury.
According to Officer Randy Yates of the Fallsburg Police Department, he and fellow officer Christopher Rosa responded to the aided call and found Reginald Rosa, 28, unresponsive and having severe difficulty breathing.
