Over the weekend, the Ulster County Sheriff's Office released an updated list of their top ten most wanted fugitives from justice.
The ten men on the list are wanted for a wide variety of alleged offenses: assault, larceny, welfare fraud, failing to register as a sex offender, failure to pay child support, and in one case, felony DWI.
One man on the list, 26-year-old Frankie Joseph, is currently incarcerated in the Lakeview Correctional Facility, a minimum-security prison in Chautauqua County. An officer at the Ulster County Sheriff's Office told the Watershed Post that Ulster County had only recently learned of Joseph's whereabouts.
The list:
1. Jahson A. Marryshow, 30, wanted for Robbery 1st (Bank of America, Woodstock), last known address of 26 Witchtree Road, Woodstock Read more

The Watershed Post obtained the names of the local runners with a zipcode-based search of the Boston Marathon organizers' runner database. Among them were two runners from Delaware County, two from Schoharie County, one from Sullivan County and thirteen from Ulster County. No runners from Greene County were found in the database.
Embedded below is a spreadsheet of the runners, with their home towns. We have cross-referenced their names with Google's Boston Marathon Person Finder to find out if local runners have been reported as safe. The links in the "Link" column lead to more information about specific runners. Read more
