NYC man who did not have ticket upset he could not get into show in Port Chester.

A New York City man who said he's been waiting decades to see a Rascals concert was arrested at The Capitol Theatre after he tried to get into the show without a ticket, according to Port Chester Police.

Kevin Brennan, 52, of 243 E. 14th St., Manhattan, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a 5:35 p.m. at the theater on Westchester Avenue. Police said Brennan attempted to enter the theater without a ticket and was turned away.

Brennan, according to police, repeatedly went back to the theater entrance and was then told by security staff that he could not enter. Lt. James Ladeairous said Brennan was spotted by police outside the theater as he was causing a disturbance.

At one point, Ladeairous said, the disturbance attacted a crowd and slowed traffic on Westchester Avenue. Ladeairous said that a village police officer warned Brennan repeatedly to leave the area, but he refused.

Ladeairous said Brennan was arrested after he got into a confronation with the village officer. A second village officer assisted in arresting Brennan as a result of the confrontation.

One of the officers suffered a knee injury in the incident, but was able to return to work on Friday.

Brennan faces a hearing in Port Chester Village Court.

If you missed the Rascals on Thursday and Friday, they'll be at The Capitol tonight, Saturday. Tickets: $135 / $95 / $65. The are back at The Cap on Dec. 20, 21 and 22 as well.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port ChesterRead More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland countiesRead More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

I am concerned there is not enough attention to detail in the BOE budget overall and Mrs. BrakewoodRead More comment about keeping taxes affordable ... where does she live ? they are out of control and in my opinion the money we pay for taxes we should have the best looking schools anywhere ... just my opinion
