February

A Mahopac school board member and assistant principal of an Elmsford high school was arrested over the weekend for allegedly assaulting two family members at a Mahopac school gym.

Sandra Muscente, 38, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of third-degree assault, following the altercation at Mahopac Falls Elementary School Saturday afternoon, Carmel police said.

Lt. Brian Karst said that police responded to a report of a physical altercation between several people at the Myrtle Avenue kindergarten school shortly before 4 p.m.. The two victims sustained physical injuries to various parts of their bodies, he said. Karst would not release any other information about them.

The incident apparently occurred during basketball clinics for second-graders being run that day by the Mahopac Sports Association at the Falls school. Larry Keane, MSAÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s basketball director, said he was not there but heard the altercation involved adults.

he was arraigned Saturday and released without bail.

She was elected to the Mahopac school board in 2006 and is the assistant principal at Alexander Hamilton High School in Elmsford. She goes by Sandra Calvi on both those school district Web sites.
