Seven defendants, who pleaded guilty for defrauding a federal program aimed at helping Rockland County schools, have now been sentenced. Sentencings for each defendant range from time served to four years in prison - according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The FBI raided several local businesses and homes in 2016. The program was designed to provide information technology to underprivileged schools. The U.S. Attorney's Office says four of the defendants received more than $14 million over a six year period - but admitted they did not provide the equipment the federal government was billed for.

Officials in Kingston are working to find out what caused a fire at a home on Garden Street. Fire officials say firefighters were sent out in the snow early Tuesday morning for a bedroom fire.

The victim's condition is unknown at this time.

A Newburgh man is facing felony charges for allegedly driving while intoxicated for a second time.

He's due in court next month.
