Probe continues into pedestrian fatality in Toms River

TOMS RIVER - Authorities are continuing to investigate Friday’s fatal
crash on Route 35, while thousands of mourners bid farewell to Mark A.
Infante, 54, a prominent Essex County attorney who was struck and
killed near his summer home in Ocean Beach.
Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy said that the preliminary
investigation shows Infante was walking on the east shoulder of the
southbound lane of Route 35.
The initial investigation showed Infante was struck from behind by a
car driven by Crystal Vallee, 26, of West Princeton Avenue in Brick,
Mastronardy said.
Infante was en route to the Lavallette post office, about four blocks
away, when he was struck. Near the site where he was killed, a family
friend later found the letter Infante was taking to the post office,
Mastronardy said. The letter was returned to his family, Mastronardy
said.
Police said that Vallee’s car struck Infante then a second vehicle, a
Toyota Camry driven by Lawrence Geller, 76, of Philadelphia. The Camry
had minimal damage and was able to be driven after authorities cleared
the car from the scene.
Authorities are continuing to await forensic results that can help
determine the facts of Vallee’s activities before the crash and what
led to her car striking Infante, according to the Ocean County
Prosecutor’s Office. Forensic evidence that was collected is still
being analyzed. No charges have been filed against Vallee, police
said.
Vallee’s car, a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina, registered to her, has been
impounded by authorities and is the subject of a search warrant, a
standard protocol in any investigation involving a fatality, Mohel
said. Police are asking the public if they have any information
relative to the investigation to call Detective Craig Ally of the
Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 3113 or the
township police Traffic Safety Office at 732-349-0150.

Official fatally struck in Toms River crash

TOMS RIVER - A prominent Essex County attorney in line to be a state
administrative law judge was struck by a car and killed Friday while
walking along Route 35 near his summer home.
The lawyer, Mark A. Infante, 54, of West Orange, who maintains a
vacation home in Ocean Beach I, was returning from a walk to the
Lavallette Post Office when he was struck about 12:30 p.m., said Toms
River Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy. He was pronounced dead at
the scene, police said. Infante was struck by a southbound 1998
Chevrolet Lumina driven by Christal Vallee, 26, of Brick, Mastronardy
said. Traffic safety officers, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office
and county Sheriff’s Department are investigating the circumstances of
the accident. Police said Infante was across about 100 feet south and
across the street from the summer home which his family said was built
by his grandfather in 1962. Infante was returning to the summer home
after walking about a half-mile to the post office, police said.
Infante, the West Orange municipal prosecutor, was nominated in June
by Gov. Jon S. Corzine for appointment as a state a administrative law
judge. The family had gathered for Thanksgiving at the home of
Infante’s brother, Martin Infante, in Point Pleasant. On Friday,
members gathered and consoled each other and spoke about the man they
admired. They recalled how Mark Infante, in charge of this year’s
turkey and ever the stickler for detail, fussed over the best brining
kit for the holiday fowl. The brined bird turned out to be the best
they had ever had, the Infantes said. He also made bread pudding, said
Lynn Infante, 53, his wife of 31 years. He loved to cook and loved
family traditions especially when it came to food. “We were friends,
best friends,” Lynn Infante said. Lynn and Mark Infante, sweethearts
since junior high school, also have two sons, Mark, 21, and Andrew,
19, both of West Orange. Infante’s daughter, Jessica, is a staff
writer for the Asbury Park Press and Times-Beacon newspapers. A Giants
fan, Mark Infante was passionate about yelling instructions to the
players through the television screen. He didn’t care that they could
not hear him, Jessica Infante said. Mark Infante was a man of many
hobbies and had an appropriate outfit to go with each adventure. He
and his wife were fans of yoga and were planning on attending yoga
class this morning. He could do a perfect tree pose, Jessica Infante
said. His enthusiasm for yoga would at times lead him to engage other
yoga followers. “He would challenge you to a yoga-off,” Jessica said.
Lynn Infante said she was just grateful that “all the children were
together in the same room” on Thanksgiving. “He was a good egg,” Lynn
Infante said of her husband. “I would tease him about it all the
time.” Mark Infante loved his summer home, a place he cherished and
spent time fishing, boating and enjoying life, his family said. “He
always had as much fun as he could,” Jessica Infante said. “He was
like a big kid with toys.”

ID’d as driver in fatal crash, woman faces theft charge
By KATHLEEN HOPKINS

December 05, 2009 22:06 PM
TOMS RIVER - A 26-year-old Brick woman, identified by police as the
driver of a car that fatally struck a West Orange attorney in Toms
River last week, appeared in court Friday on an unrelated charge of
stealing from her mother.
Crystal A. Vallee of West Princeton Avenue appeared before Superior
Court Judge Wendel E. Daniels, who maintained her bail at $20,000 with
no option to gain release by posting 10 percent. Vallee pulled her
long, blonde hair in front of her face to shield it from a news
photographer for the duration of the brief court appearance. Vallee,
who has not been charged in the Nov. 27 car accident that claimed the
life of 54-year-old Mark A. Infante, was arrested Thursday and charged
with theft by deception, police said. They allege Vallee stole blank
checks from her mother and wrote them out to herself. The checks,
written and cashed between Nov. 1 and 8, totaled $1,400, police said.
Vallee has been identified as the driver of a vehicle that struck
Infante, of West Orange, while he walked near his vacation home in the
Ocean Beach I section Nov. 27. Before that, Vallee was arrested Nov.
14 in Neptune and charged with possession of crack cocaine and
possession of drug paraphernalia, a crack pipe. Daniels told Vallee
her bail will be reviewed again by Monday, and she would be notified
if there is any change to it.

Steven Vallee was arrested and charged with assaulting his wife
CAMBRIDGE MUT. FIRE INS. CO. v. VALLEE
12/31/1996
Cambridge Mutual Fire Insurance Company appeals from a summary
judgment entered in the Superior Court (Androscoggin County,
Alexander, J.) in favor of Steven M. Vallee, State Mutual Insurance
Company, and David and Renee Ouellette. Cambridge Mutual, in response
to a personal injury action brought against Vallee by the Ouellettes,
filed a complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that Vallee was not
covered under a homeowners insurance policy issued by Cambridge Mutual
to Vallee’s father. Cambridge Mutual argues the trial court erred in
deciding that Steven Vallee was a resident of his father’s household
at the time the Ouellettes’
action arose. We disagree, and affirm the judgment.
Vallee was the defendant in a
CAMBRIDGE MUT. FIRE INS. CO. v. VALLEE
12/31/1996
ling & Blasting, Inc., v. Insurance Co. of North America, 665 A.2d
671, 673 (Me. 1995) (citing Massachusetts Bay Ins. Co. v. Ferraiolo
Constr. Co., 584 A.2d 608, 609 (Me. 1990)).
Construing the term “resident” in favor of coverage, as we must,
Steven Vallee was a resident of his parents’ household within the
meaning of the homeowners policy issued by Cambridge Mutual. We are
not persuaded by its contention that the temporary nature of Vallee’s
stay, in itself, precludes residence. Faced with a court order that
prevented him from returning to his home, Vallee intended to reside
with his parents until the criminal charge against him was resolved.
The entry is:
Judgment affirmed.
All concurring.
3. “insured” means you and residents of your household who
are:
a. your relatives. . . .
The definitions section does not define or otherwise explain the
meaning of the term “resident” as contained in the definition of
“insured.”
On June 8, 1992, almost a month before Bradley Ouellette’s injuries,
Steven Vallee was arrested and charged with assaulting his wife. A
condition of his bail prohibited him from returning to their home in
Lisbon. A trial on the assault charge was scheduled for August 27,
1992. Between June 8 and his trial date (with the exception of a one-
or two-week period in August), Vallee lived at his parent’s house,
kept his clothes there, and returned there after work each day. Vallee
intended to live there until the assault charge against him was
resolved. On the date set for trial, August 27, the charge was dropped
and Vallee moved back into his Lisbon home.
On an appeal from a summary judgment, we view the evidence in the
light most favorable to the party against whom the judgment was
entered to determine whether the record supports the trial court’s
conclusion that there is no genuine issue of material fact and the
moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Simpson v.
Central Maine Motors, Inc., 669 A.2d 1324, 1325-26 (Me. 1996).
The term “resident,” as used in the homeowners policy issued to
Bertrand Vallee, is ambiguous. The language of a contract of insurance
is ambiguous if it is reasonably susceptible of different
interpretations. Brackett v. Middlesex Ins. Co., 486 A.2d 1188, 1189
(Me. 1985) (citing Lidstone v. Green, 469 A.2d 843, 846 (Me. 1983)).
As many courts have observed, “residence” has different shades of
meaning depending on the context in which it is used. See, e.g.,
Huffman v. Huffman, 232 Neb. 742, 441 N.W.2d 899, 904 (1989) (to
“reside” and its corresponding noun “residence” are “chameleon-like
expressions”); Jamestown Mut. Ins. Co. v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co.,
266 N.C. 430, 146 S.E.2d 410, 414 (1966) (the words “resident,”
“residing,” and “residence” have no precise, fixed meaning applicable
to all cases); State v. Tustin, 322 S.W.2d 179, 180 (Mo.App. 1959)
(the term “residence” is “like a slippery eel”).
Despite the ambiguity inherent in the term “resident,” that term was
not clarified in the homeowners policy issued to Bertrand Vallee. We
note that Cambridge Mutual did attempt to define numerous other terms
in the policy’s definitions section. Without the benefit of
elaboration, the term “resident” is ambiguous because it is reasonably
susceptible of different interpretations. It is well-established that
ambiguities in an insurance policy are resolved against the insurer,
Allstate Ins. Co. v. Elwell, 513 A.2d 269, 271 (Me. 1986) (citing
Baybutt Constr. Corp. v. Commercial Union Ins. Co., 455 A.2d 914, 921
(Me. 1983)), and that a liability insurance policy must be construed
to resolve all ambiguities in favor of coverage, Maine Dril

Edward Arthur Vallee was arrested and charged with the crime by
Strathcona County RCMP
Alcohol may have been the root cause of two men stealing a large piece
of construction machinery and parking it on the middle of CN railway
tracks near Clover Bar Road in Strathcona County in July of 2008.
Miraculously no one was hurt. This in spite of the fact that the
11,000 kilogram machine was T-boned by an 85 car train and 13 of its
cars derailed. By sheer luck the train cleared a highly travelled
overpass before the derailment occurred.
Eighteen months later the police finally have suspects. Edward Arthur
Vallee was arrested and charged with the crime by Strathcona County
RCMP. He is currently out on bail with a court date of February 1st.
His alleged partner, Ian Douglas Gillie, has had an arrest warrant
issued with his name on it. Police are hoping that the media
attention will cause Gillie to turn himself in.
Both of the suspects face charges of theft over $5000, mischief over
$5,000 and mischief endangering life. The cost of clean-up and
related issues for the incident was over one million dollars. The
engineer, conductor, emergency responders and investigators all agree
that the damage to property and loss of human life could have been
catastrophic.

Disclosure still delaying train derail case
Posted By Michael Di Massa News Staff
Continuing arrival of disclosure has pushed back the election hearings
for two men accused of derailing a train near Sherwood Park in 2008.
Both suspects are now expected to enter pleas and elect how they wish
to be tried on June 2.
Speaking at the latest court hearing on Wednesday, Crown prosecutor
Susan Richardson said the Crown has been the one asking for the delays
since the first court appearance in February, with the expectation of
receiving additional information related to the case from the RCMP.
She said the Crown has recently received another “enormous binder of
discloser from the RCMP.”
The court case stems from a July 2008 train derailment at the Highway
16 rail overpass near Sherwood Park. Two engines and 13 of 85 railcars
derailed after the train collided with a road packer that had been
left on the tracks.
No one was injured in the collision.
It is believed by the RCMP that the road packer was stolen from a
nearby construction zone before being left on the tracks.
Edward Arthur Vallee and Ian Douglas Gillie have been charged with
mischief endangering life, mischief over $5,000 and theft over
$5,000.
Vallee was arrested on Dec. 30, 2009 and Gillie three weeks later Jan.
20.

Charges laid in ’08 train crash
Posted By Michael Di Massa News Staff
Crews work to right two engines and rail cars that came off the tracks
near Highway 16 in 2008.
Charges have been filed against two suspects in relation to the CN
train derailment that occurred east of Sherwood Park in July 2008.
Sherwood Park resident Edward Arthur Vallee, 26, has been charged with
mischief endangering life, mischief over $5,000, and theft over
$5,000.
Vallee was arrested by Strathcona County RCMP on Dec. 30, 2009, and
was subsequently released that same day after posting bail.
He is due to appear in Sherwood Park justice court on Feb. 3.
A second suspect is also being sought by the Strathcona County RCMP,
but little information is known about him, other than his name and
hometown: Ian Douglas Gillie, 26, from Edmonton.
Strathcona County RCMP media liaison Const. Wally Henry said Gillie’s
whereabouts are not known, but he is believed to be in the province.
Warrants for his arrest are in effect.
“We’re just requesting that Mr. Gillie take care of those warrants and
bring himself in,” Henry said.
Henry said the men were identified through a recent tip received from
someone from the public.
“These two people are not known to us. They weren’t on our radar as
far as tracking them down in the first instance,” Henry said.
“It was a matter of us putting all the pieces together … to make sure
everything matched up and at this point there’s enough evidence to lay
these charges.”

Shortly before 3 a.m. on July 10, 2008, a westbound CN train struck a
road packer that had been stolen from a nearby construction site and
parked on the tracks at the Highway 16 overpass east of Clover Bar
Road.
Thirteen of the 85 rail cars and two engines derailed as a result of
the collision. A fire, believed to be from a ruptured fuel tank, was
also triggered, but quickly extinguished by Strathcona County
Emergency Services.
There were two occupants in the train at the time of the collision.
They were not injured.
According to Henry, the incident cost about $1 million in damage and
emergency response.
“From that standpoint alone and the danger it caused to residents and
to motorists of Highway 16, with that overpass going right over the
highway, and the train derailing, it was definitely something that we
were anxious to get to the bottom of and try to solve,” he said. “The
potential for (the incident) to be catastrophic was definitely
there.”
It is believed the two suspects had consumed alcohol prior to their
alleged role in the incident. It is also believed that the road packer
was started by one of the suspects before being driven on the tracks,
Henry said.
There is no indication that the two suspects may have worked at the
construction site.
Members of the public who have information about the incident are
encouraged to call the Strathcona County RCMP at, 780-467-7741 or
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-1-800-222-8477.
Crime Stoppers provides rewards of up to $2,000 for information
leading to an arrest. Anonymous tips are also eligible for the
reward.

Robert Ernest Vallee, 37, of Lockesburg was arrested in Sevier County
on two counts of indecent exposure
Man Accused of Repeated Flashing Arrested
http://www.examiner.com/Strange-a818..._Arrested.html
HORATIO, Ark. - A man accused of repeatedly exposing himself to the
same woman has been arrested after the woman took a picture of him
naked standing on a highway and called police.
The man had exposed himself five times in the last six months to the
woman as she traveled on Arkansas 41 for work. She did not know the
man, police said.
”I think he had singled her out, and she was loaded and ready for bear
the next time she saw him,” Arkansas State Police Cpl. Ray Gentry
said. “She slowed down in her car to about 40 mph and got a picture of
him.”
Robert Ernest Vallee, 37, of Lockesburg was arrested in Sevier County
on two counts of indecent exposure stemming from incidents Thursday
and Jan. 19 and one count of harassment. All are misdemeanors.
”He admitted he was the suspect in question and he had exposed himself
to her. He admitted he was nude except for a shirt covering his face,”
Gentry said.
The woman said she didn’t want to press charges.
Authorities also had gotten a complaint from a 17-year-old female of a
man exposing himself. He reportedly would stand on the side of the
highway next to his car.
Vallee was arrested Thursday after the woman called a dispatcher,
saying a man in a silver Dodge Neon had exposed himself to her,
according to a Sevier County Sheriff’s Department report. The woman
said the vehicle turned onto Arkansas 24 East and she waited for an
officer at a Horatio convenience store.
Gentry encountered the vehicle traveling east on Arkansas 24 near its
intersection with Arkansas 329 and stopped it.
”He had put his pants back on by the time I made the arrest. He was
worried I was going to charge him with reckless driving for putting
his pants back on while driving,” Gentry said.
A Sevier County deputy took the woman from the store to the traffic
stop and she identified the vehicle.
Vallee was taken to the Sevier County Jail in De Queen. He posted bond
and was released from jail Friday.

Richard Vallée, once a leading member of Quebec’s Hells Angels,
expressed some remorse for killing a government witness about to
testify against him
Angel with bloody hands
Adrian Humphreys, National Post
Sunday, Apr. 13, 2008
By Adrian Humphreys
Richard Vallée, once a leading member of Quebec’s Hells Angels,
expressed some remorse for killing a government witness about to
testify against him — he was sorry that his victim was driving a
classic Porsche sports car when he blew him up in 1993.
After a career marked by drugs, death plots, surprise acquittals and
unlikely prison escapes, Vallée will stand today in a New York
courtroom to learn whether he will spend the rest of his life in jail.
On July 28, 1993, a thunderous explosion tore apart a white, 1977
Porsche, sending both car and body parts across the large parking lot
of Bowl-Mart in Rouses Point, N.Y., about an hour’s drive south of
Montreal.
When the victim was identified as Lee Carter, 31, who worked part-time
as a bartender at the bowling lane and lived in an adjacent trailer,
New York police looked north for answers. Mr. Carter was known as the
sole witness who could finger Vallée, a founding member of the elite
Quebec Nomads chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, in a cross-
border cocaine smuggling conspiracy.
The Nomads were the architects of the biker war that would claim more
than 160 lives.
Mr. Carter’s troubles, however, started in May, 1992, when he was
asked by an acquaintance to move cocaine into Canada.
Mr. Carter, whose namesake father said his son “just wanted to do the
right thing,” feigned interest and then called police, offering to
work for them undercover.
Working with police, Mr. Carter brought 54 kilograms of fake cocaine
into Canada and, at a Montreal motel, was introduced to “Rick” who
told him where to deliver the load. Mr. Carter later identified Vallée
as the man he met and Vallée and fellow conspirators were soon
arrested.
In March, 1993, as Vallée’s trial approached, his lawyer wrote to the
Quebec prosecutor of the case. The letter, U.S. prosecutors claim in
court documents, “intended to ferret out what witnesses or evidence
connected Vallée to the cocaine.” The lawyer was told Mr. Carter was
the only witness who was willing and able to identify Vallée.
Mr. Carter did not get a chance to give his testimony; a month before
the trial he started his Porsche on a sunny morning after it had
secretly been loaded with explosives. Because of the murder of the
only witness against Vallée, his drug charges were dismissed.
Police in Canada and the United States were fairly sure Vallée was
behind the bombing and slowly built a case against him.
A neighbour of Mr. Carter said that two days earlier a man who looked
like Vallée was asking where Mr. Carter lived. New York police
recovered the detonator used in the blast and a year later police in
Quebec seized a nearly identical detonator from a man who was visiting
Vallée’s apartment. Quebec police next searched the apartment of an
associate of Vallée’s and found a bomb-making kit with Vallée’s
fingerprints on it.
Then, in 1995, Serge Quesnel, a Hells Angels assassin, agreed to
cooperate with police. He told officers that Vallée once learned that
Quesnel’s mother’s maiden name was Carter.
“He said, ‘Is she any relation to the guy that I blew up in the
States?’ ” Quesnel said.
The subject came up a second time: “I was telling him how much the
cops hate me because I had killed a guy; they knew it but they weren’t
able to pin it on me. And he said to me, he goes, ‘Well the police
hate me even more because I killed one of their witnesses in a drug
deal in New York,’ ” Quesnel said.
“And he said that it was actually a bit of a shame because the guy was
driving a really nice car and he had to blow up the car, so it was a
shame.”
Vallée was arrested in Trois-Rivières in 1995 and charged in Mr.
Carter’s death. He was told there were two witnesses against him.
Vallée was unfazed.
“You know what happened to Carter, I blew him up and he did not come
to testify. The other two witnesses will also not come to testify,” he
told officers, according to court documents. Bold action followed
those bold words.
In 1997, Vallée concocted a prison fight that gave him a broken jaw
and he was taken to a Montreal hospital. There, two days before he was
to be sent to the United States, a gun-wielding man confronted guards
and helped Vallée flee on a motorcycle.
For years he was a fugitive, featured on both the U.S. Marshals’ Most
Wanted list and the popular TV show America’s Most Wanted.
In 2003, he again fooled police when he was stopped in Montreal for
drunk driving. After giving officers forged documents and claiming he
was a businessman from Costa Rica, he was allowed to walk out of the
police station. It was not until the next day, when his fingerprints
were checked, that mortified officers learned they had again let
Vallée escape.
He did not go far, however, and was arrested days later as he left a
Montreal dépanneur.
In September in Albany, N.Y., Vallée faced a jury trial for—as William
Pericak, the Assistant U.S. Attorney who prosecuted the case, put it
—“procuring the unavailability of the witness by murder.”
Although the case was circumstantial and Vallée denied his
involvement, an anonymous jury found him guilty.
Judge Thomas McAvoy will sentence Vallée this morning. Mr. Pericak is
seeking a life term and $1.4-million in restitution to Mr. Carter’s
family for the loss of his income.
“When you go to jail here we have a thing called the Inmate Financial
Responsibility Program where you work,” Mr. Pericak said.
“It is our hope that Mr. Vallée works every single day for the rest of
his life and that every single day a fraction of that money gets paid
to the family of Lee Carter so that each day he has a reminder of what
he did.”

2 Arrested In Armed Robbery At Zuke’s Deli
Robber Flees With Restaurant’s Register Drawer
POSTED: 1:18 am EDT July 21, 2009
UPDATED: 12:47 pm EDT July 21, 2009
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.—
Police have arrested two people in connection with an armed robbery at
Zuke’s Deli in Plattsburgh on Sunday. Click To Watch Video Of suspects
Leaving Police Station Tuesday MorningPolice said the robber showed a
gun to the deli owner and left with a register drawer full of cash at
about 4 p.m. Police said the man left before officers arrived. Police
searched the area but were unable to immediately locate the man.
Franklyn R. Akey, 24, of Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Franklyn R. Akey, 24, and Anthony P. Vallee, 27, both of Plattsburgh,
were charged with first-degree robbery, a felony. Police said they
found an air pistol believed to have been used in the robbery and the
store register drawer at Vallee’s Wallace Hill Road home. Other
evidence was also found at the home, police said.
Anthony P. Vallee, 27, of Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Police said they traced the two men down using information on the
vehicles used during the robbery. The vehicle was located by police
and information obtained during a traffic stop of the vehicle led to
the arrest, police said, adding that they believe the men wanted the
cash to purchase illegal prescription drugs.Akey has also been charged
in connection with a June 19 burglary at Taylor Rental, where a safe
containing business cards and cash was stolen. He faces a third-degree
burglary charge in that case.Dan Harpp, the co-owner of Zuke’s, told
NewsChannel 5 that he’s “very concerned that this happened in a small
residential area in midafternoon.” He said he’s “thankful no one got
hurt.”Both men were arraigned in Plattsburgh court Tuesday and sent to
Clinton County Jail.

Vallee admits to robbing Zuke’s
March 24, 2010
By ANDREA VanVALKENBURG
PLATTSBURGH — Instead of taking his case to trial as expected, and
without a negotiated plea in place, Anthony Vallee has admitted to
robbing Zuke’s Corner Store last year.
The 27-year-old Plattsburgh man was set to go on trial this week but
recently returned to Clinton County Court and admitted to the full
indictment against him.
That means the terms of his sentencing will be at the discretion of
the court when Vallee returns on May 24, court clerks said.
Vallee and Franklyn Akey, 25, of Plattsburgh were arrested within a
day of the July 19 holdup inside the popular Plattsburgh deli.
Authorities have said that Akey drove the getaway car, while Vallee
stormed the store with an air pistol and threatened two clerks, making
off with a cash register containing $720.
No one was physically harmed during the robbery.
The pair were arrested when police searched Vallee’s home and found
evidence connected to the crime.
Prosecutors have said their addiction to painkillers fueled the brazen
daytime crime.
Akey recently pleaded guilty in the case and is now serving five years
at Bare Hill Correctional Facility. As part of his plea, Akey was
expected to testify against Vallee.
Vallee remains in custody at Clinton County Jail pending sentencing.

Thomas Arthur Vallee was arrested by the secret service in Chicago
days before a scheduled visit by Kennedy
There were three known attempts on taking JFK’s life in the fall of
1963. In late October, Thomas Arthur Vallee was arrested by the secret
service in Chicago days before a scheduled visit by Kennedy. Vallee
was discovered to have an M-1 rifle, a handgun, and three thousand
rounds of ammunition. Days later, the Secret Service received another
threat: Kennedy would be ambushed in Chicago by a Cuban hit squad. The
Chicago trip was cancelled without explanation. On November 18, four
days before the assassination in Dallas, Joseph Milteer outlined the
details for the upcoming Texas attempt to a police informant. None of
these threats were forwarded to authorities in Dallas. (Belzer 10)

U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive Richard VALLEE was arrested
Thursday night in Montreal, Canada, after years on the run.

DUI Arrest Results In U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted Capture
Richard Vallee Wanted for Murdering a Government Witness
U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive Richard VALLEE was arrested
Thursday night in Montreal, Canada, after years on the run.
A surveillance team spotted Vallee entering a massage parlor, and a
heavily-armed tactical team was put on alert. After exiting the
establishment, Vallee’s identity was verified, he was confronted by
law enforcement officers and surrendered without resistance.
Vallee was wanted on charges stemming from the car-bombing murder of
Lee Carter on July 28, 1993 near Champlain, New York. Carter was a
cooperating witness for the government in a cocaine smuggling and
criminal activities case against Vallee and other members of his
Hell’s Angels outlaw motorcycle gang chapter. It is alleged that
Vallee built and placed the car bomb which killed Carter. He was
indicted in this case by the U.S. District Court in Albany, New York
in August 1996.
Ironically, Vallee had been arrested six days prior to his arrest on
Thursday.
“The break we needed in this case occurred on Friday, April 11, when a
man who called himself Guy Turner was arrested by the Montreal, Canada
Police Department for driving under the influence,” said U.S. Marshals
Senior Inspector Harry Layne. “A search incident to that arrest
revealed a quantity of cash and a handgun in Turner’s vehicle. Turner
was released on bond, and later in the week his fingerprints were
determined to be a match for Vallee.”
After this discovery, Canadian law enforcement officers mounted a
massive effort. Their team consisted of more than 100 officers,
supported by members of the U.S. Marshals, New York State Police, and
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. This combined effort led
to Vallee’s arrest Thursday.
Vallee will appear in court in Montreal where it will be determined if
he will stand trial first in Canada on firearms and escape charges, or
be returned to the U.S. where, if convicted, he could receive a
maximum term of life without parole.
U.S. Marshals Service Director Benigno Reyna praised the cooperation
and dedicated police work of the Canadian authorities over the past
five years, which ultimately led to Vallee’s capture. He also
recognized the efforts of the New York State Police, the ATF, and the
Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which contributed to a successful and
safe apprehension.
Annually, U.S. Marshals arrest more than 50 percent of all Federal
fugitives and serve more Federal warrants than all other Federal law
enforcement agencies combined. Last year U.S. Marshals cleared 23,294
warrants on fugitives wanted by state and local law enforcement
authorities in addition to 38,249 Federal fugitive warrants.

Indictment: Brick woman stole $1,400 from mother by forging checks
By MICHELLE SAHN
STAFF WRITER
February 25, 2010 19:50 PM
TOMS RIVER - A 26-year-old Brick woman, accused in an accident that
killed a West Orange attorney, has been indicted in an unrelated case
in which she is accused of stealing from her mother.
An Ocean County grand jury last week charged Crystal Vallee of Route
88 in a single-count indictment alleging theft by deception. The
indictment accused Vallee of cashing a series of seven checks written
on an account she was unauthorized to use. The indictment alleges the
total amount of the theft was more than $500, the legal threshold for
a third-degree crime carrying a potential prison term of three to five
years upon a conviction. Authorities have said Vallee stole blank
checks from her mother, wrote a series of them to herself in amounts
totaling $1,400 and then cashed them. The alleged criminal activity
occurred between Nov. 9 and Nov. 24, 2009, the indictment said. Vallee
also is charged, but not yet indicted, in an unrelated case involving
the vehicular homicide of Mark A. Infante, 54, a municipal prosecutor
in West Orange who had been nominated last year by then-Gov. Jon
Corzine to become an administrative law judge. Infante was struck by
Vallee’s vehicle while he walked on Route 35 near his vacation home in
the Ocean Beach I section of Toms River on the day after Thanksgiving.
Vallee admitted using cocaine prior to the fatal event, an assistant
prosecutor said in court at a recent hearing. Vallee is being held in
the Ocean County Jail. She has been unable to post $150,000 bail set
in the vehicular homicide case or $10,000 set in the theft case.
Vallee also has charges pending against her in Monmouth County
stemming from her arrest in Neptune on Nov. 14 on charges of
possessing crack cocaine and a crack pipe.

Probe continues into pedestrian fatality in Toms River

December 03, 2009 00:21 AM
TOMS RIVER - Authorities are continuing to investigate Friday’s fatal
crash on Route 35, while thousands of mourners bid farewell to Mark A.
Infante, 54, a prominent Essex County attorney who was struck and
killed near his summer home in Ocean Beach.
Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy said that the preliminary
investigation shows Infante was walking on the east shoulder of the
southbound lane of Route 35.
The initial investigation showed Infante was struck from behind by a
car driven by Crystal Vallee, 26, of West Princeton Avenue in Brick,
Mastronardy said.
Infante was en route to the Lavallette post office, about four blocks
away, when he was struck. Near the site where he was killed, a family
friend later found the letter Infante was taking to the post office,
Mastronardy said. The letter was returned to his family, Mastronardy
said.
Police said that Vallee’s car struck Infante then a second vehicle, a
Toyota Camry driven by Lawrence Geller, 76, of Philadelphia. The Camry
had minimal damage and was able to be driven after authorities cleared
the car from the scene.
Authorities are continuing to await forensic results that can help
determine the facts of Vallee’s activities before the crash and what
led to her car striking Infante, according to the Ocean County
Prosecutor’s Office. Forensic evidence that was collected is still
being analyzed. No charges have been filed against Vallee, police
said.
Vallee’s car, a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina, registered to her, has been
impounded by authorities and is the subject of a search warrant, a
standard protocol in any investigation involving a fatality, Mohel
said. Police are asking the public if they have any information
relative to the investigation to call Detective Craig Ally of the
Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 3113 or the
township police Traffic Safety Office at 732-349-0150.

TOMS RIVER - A driver who allegedly caused a two-vehicle crash that
killed one of the passengers in his car has been charged with
vehicular homicide.
Authorities claim Jamal Lomax, 33, of Dove Street in Toms River, was
driving under the influence when he lost control of his Subaru Nov. 27
on the Thomas A. Mathis Bridge, which carries Route 37 traffic east
over Barnegat Bay. After striking a sport-utility vehicle, police said
the Subaru overturned, causing Lomax and two passengers to be ejected.
One of the passengers, 33-year-old Charles Hart of Toms River, was
pronounced dead at the scene shortly after the 11:30 p.m. crash. In
addition to the vehicular homicide and DUI charges, Lomax has been
charged with reckless driving and failure to wear a seat belt. He was
released from the Ocean County Jail in Toms River after posting
$75,000 bail. Lomax and the other passenger - 33-year-old Lamiont
Coston, also of Toms River - were treated for minor injuries at Jersey
Shore University Hospital in Neptune. The driver of the other vehicle,
Sarah Rathgeberkleinert, 22, of Toms River, and her three passengers
were uninjured, police said. The driver in a separate fatal accident
Nov. 27 also is facing vehicular homicide and driving while
intoxicated charges. Crystal Vallee, 26, of Brick was charged by Toms
River police in connection with a crash that killed 54-year-old Mark
A. Infante. Police said Infante, the municipal prosecutor in West
Orange, who had been nominated for a state judgeship, was walking
across Route 35 near the Lavallette post office when Vallee’s car
struck him from behind. At her first appearance in court on the
homicide charge Wednesday, a visibly distraught Vallee sat shaking her
head and shielding her face before standing to address Superior Court
Judge Wendel E. Daniels. Vallee also is charged with reckless driving,
possession of heroin in a motor vehicle, failing to maintain a lane of
travel and failing to keep to the right. When asked if she understood
her rights, Vallee put her face in her hands, then looked at the judge
and quietly said, “Yes, sir.” She remained held Tuesday on a total of
$170,000 bail for not only the homicide charge but also a theft
charged filed by Brick police after her mother accused her of stealing
blank checks and writing them out to herself

TOMS RIVER - A prominent Essex County attorney in line to be a state
administrative law judge was struck by a car and killed Friday while
walking along Route 35 near his summer home.
The lawyer, Mark A. Infante, 54, of West Orange, who maintains a
vacation home in Ocean Beach I, was returning from a walk to the
Lavallette Post Office when he was struck about 12:30 p.m., said Toms
River Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy. He was pronounced dead at
the scene, police said. Infante was struck by a southbound 1998
Chevrolet Lumina driven by Christal Vallee, 26, of Brick, Mastronardy
said. Traffic safety officers, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office
and county Sheriff’s Department are investigating the circumstances of
the accident. Police said Infante was across about 100 feet south and
across the street from the summer home which his family said was built
by his grandfather in 1962. Infante was returning to the summer home
after walking about a half-mile to the post office, police said.
Infante, the West Orange municipal prosecutor, was nominated in June
by Gov. Jon S. Corzine for appointment as a state a administrative law
judge. The family had gathered for Thanksgiving at the home of
Infante’s brother, Martin Infante, in Point Pleasant. On Friday,
members gathered and consoled each other and spoke about the man they
admired. They recalled how Mark Infante, in charge of this year’s
turkey and ever the stickler for detail, fussed over the best brining
kit for the holiday fowl. The brined bird turned out to be the best
they had ever had, the Infantes said. He also made bread pudding, said
Lynn Infante, 53, his wife of 31 years. He loved to cook and loved
family traditions especially when it came to food. “We were friends,
best friends,” Lynn Infante said. Lynn and Mark Infante, sweethearts
since junior high school, also have two sons, Mark, 21, and Andrew,
19, both of West Orange. Infante’s daughter, Jessica, is a staff
writer for the Asbury Park Press and Times-Beacon newspapers. A Giants
fan, Mark Infante was passionate about yelling instructions to the
players through the television screen. He didn’t care that they could
not hear him, Jessica Infante said. Mark Infante was a man of many
hobbies and had an appropriate outfit to go with each adventure. He
and his wife were fans of yoga and were planning on attending yoga
class this morning. He could do a perfect tree pose, Jessica Infante
said. His enthusiasm for yoga would at times lead him to engage other
yoga followers. “He would challenge you to a yoga-off,” Jessica said.
Lynn Infante said she was just grateful that “all the children were
together in the same room” on Thanksgiving. “He was a good egg,” Lynn
Infante said of her husband. “I would tease him about it all the
time.” Mark Infante loved his summer home, a place he cherished and
spent time fishing, boating and enjoying life, his family said. “He
always had as much fun as he could,” Jessica Infante said. “He was

Probe continues into pedestrian fatality in Toms River
By MARGARET F. BONAFIDE

December 03, 2009 00:21 AM
TOMS RIVER - Authorities are continuing to investigate Friday’s fatal
crash on Route 35, while thousands of mourners bid farewell to Mark A.
Infante, 54, a prominent Essex County attorney who was struck and
killed near his summer home in Ocean Beach.
Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy said that the preliminary
investigation shows Infante was walking on the east shoulder of the
southbound lane of Route 35.
The initial investigation showed Infante was struck from behind by a
car driven by Crystal Vallee, 26, of West Princeton Avenue in Brick,
Mastronardy said.
Infante was en route to the Lavallette post office, about four blocks
away, when he was struck. Near the site where he was killed, a family
friend later found the letter Infante was taking to the post office,
Mastronardy said. The letter was returned to his family, Mastronardy
said.
Police said that Vallee’s car struck Infante then a second vehicle, a
Toyota Camry driven by Lawrence Geller, 76, of Philadelphia. The Camry
had minimal damage and was able to be driven after authorities cleared
the car from the scene.
Authorities are continuing to await forensic results that can help
determine the facts of Vallee’s activities before the crash and what
led to her car striking Infante, according to the Ocean County
Prosecutor’s Office. Forensic evidence that was collected is still
being analyzed. No charges have been filed against Vallee, police
said.
Vallee’s car, a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina, registered to her, has been
impounded by authorities and is the subject of a search warrant, a
standard protocol in any investigation involving a fatality, Mohel
said. Police are asking the public if they have any information
relative to the investigation to call Detective Craig Ally of the
Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 3113 or the
township police Traffic Safety Office at 732-349-0150.

TOMS RIVER - A prominent Essex County attorney in line to be a state
administrative law judge was struck by a car and killed Friday while
walking along Route 35 near his summer home.
The lawyer, Mark A. Infante, 54, of West Orange, who maintains a
vacation home in Ocean Beach I, was returning from a walk to the
Lavallette Post Office when he was struck about 12:30 p.m., said Toms

ID’d as driver in fatal crash, woman faces theft charge
By KATHLEEN HOPKINS

December 05, 2009 22:06 PM
TOMS RIVER - A 26-year-old Brick woman, identified by police as the
driver of a car that fatally struck a West Orange attorney in Toms
River last week, appeared in court Friday on an unrelated charge of
stealing from her mother.
Crystal A. Vallee of West Princeton Avenue appeared before Superior
Court Judge Wendel E. Daniels, who maintained her bail at $20,000 with
no option to gain release by posting 10 percent. Vallee pulled her
long, blonde hair in front of her face to shield it from a news
photographer for the duration of the brief court appearance. Vallee,
who has not been charged in the Nov. 27 car accident that claimed the
life of 54-year-old Mark A. Infante, was arrested Thursday and charged
with theft by deception, police said. They allege Vallee stole blank
checks from her mother and wrote them out to herself. The checks,
written and cashed between Nov. 1 and 8, totaled $1,400, police said.
Vallee has been identified as the driver of a vehicle that struck
Infante, of West Orange, while he walked near his vacation home in the
Ocean Beach I section Nov. 27. Before that, Vallee was arrested Nov.
14 in Neptune and charged with possession of crack cocaine and
possession of drug paraphernalia, a crack pipe. Daniels told Vallee
her bail will be reviewed again by Monday, and she would be notified
if there is any change to it.

Steven Vallee was arrested and charged with assaulting his wife
CAMBRIDGE MUT. FIRE INS. CO. v. VALLEE
12/31/1996
Cambridge Mutual Fire Insurance Company appeals from a summary
judgment entered in the Superior Court (Androscoggin County,
Alexander, J.) in favor of Steven M. Vallee, State Mutual Insurance
Company, and David and Renee Ouellette. Cambridge Mutual, in response
to a personal injury action brought against Vallee by the Ouellettes,
filed a complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that Vallee was not
covered under a homeowners insurance policy issued by Cambridge Mutual
to Vallee’s father. Cambridge Mutual argues the trial court erred in
deciding that Steven Vallee was a resident of his father’s household
at the time the Ouellettes’
action arose. We disagree, and affirm the judgment.
Vallee was the defendant in a
CAMBRIDGE MUT. FIRE INS. CO. v. VALLEE
12/31/1996
ling & Blasting, Inc., v. Insurance Co. of North America, 665 A.2d
671, 673 (Me. 1995) (citing Massachusetts Bay Ins. Co. v. Ferraiolo
Constr. Co., 584 A.2d 608, 609 (Me. 1990)).
Construing the term “resident” in favor of coverage, as we must,
Steven Vallee was a resident of his parents’ household within the
meaning of the homeowners policy issued by Cambridge Mutual. We are
not persuaded by its contention that the temporary nature of Vallee’s
stay, in itself, precludes residence. Faced with a court order that
prevented him from returning to his home, Vallee intended to reside
with his parents until the criminal charge against him was resolved.
The entry is:
Judgment affirmed.
All concurring.
3. “insured” means you and residents of your household who
are:
a. your relatives. . . .
The definitions section does not define or otherwise explain the
meaning of the term “resident” as contained in the definition of
“insured.”
On June 8, 1992, almost a month before Bradley Ouellette’s injuries,
Steven Vallee was arrested and charged with assaulting his wife. A
condition of his bail prohibited him from returning to their home in
Lisbon. A trial on the assault charge was scheduled for August 27,
1992. Between June 8 and his trial date (with the exception of a one-
or two-week period in August), Vallee lived at his parent’s house,
kept his clothes there, and returned there after work each day. Vallee
intended to live there until the assault charge against him was
resolved. On the date set for trial, August 27, the charge was dropped
and Vallee moved back into his Lisbon home.
On an appeal from a summary judgment, we view the evidence in the
light most favorable to the party against whom the judgment was
entered to determine whether the record supports the trial court’s
conclusion that there is no genuine issue of material fact and the
moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Simpson v.
Central Maine Motors, Inc., 669 A.2d 1324, 1325-26 (Me. 1996).
The term “resident,” as used in the homeowners policy issued to
Bertrand Vallee, is ambiguous. The language of a contract of insurance
is ambiguous if it is reasonably susceptible of different
interpretations. Brackett v. Middlesex Ins. Co., 486 A.2d 1188, 1189
(Me. 1985) (citing Lidstone v. Green, 469 A.2d 843, 846 (Me. 1983)).
As many courts have observed, “residence” has different shades of
meaning depending on the context in which it is used. See, e.g.,
Huffman v. Huffman, 232 Neb. 742, 441 N.W.2d 899, 904 (1989) (to
“reside” and its corresponding noun “residence” are “chameleon-like
expressions”); Jamestown Mut. Ins. Co. v. Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co.,
266 N.C. 430, 146 S.E.2d 410, 414 (1966) (the words “resident,”
“residing,” and “residence” have no precise, fixed meaning applicable
to all cases); State v. Tustin, 322 S.W.2d 179, 180 (Mo.App. 1959)
(the term “residence” is “like a slippery eel”).
Despite the ambiguity inherent in the term “resident,” that term was
not clarified in the homeowners policy issued to Bertrand Vallee. We
note that Cambridge Mutual did attempt to define numerous other terms
in the policy’s definitions section. Without the benefit of
elaboration, the term “resident” is ambiguous because it is reasonably
susceptible of different interpretations. It is well-established that
ambiguities in an insurance policy are resolved against the insurer,
Allstate Ins. Co. v. Elwell, 513 A.2d 269, 271 (Me. 1986) (citing
Baybutt Constr. Corp. v. Commercial Union Ins. Co., 455 A.2d 914, 921
(Me. 1983)), and that a liability insurance policy must be construed
to resolve all ambiguities in favor of coverage, Maine Dril

Edward Arthur Vallee was arrested and charged with the crime by
Strathcona County RCMP
Alcohol may have been the root cause of two men stealing a large piece
of construction machinery and parking it on the middle of CN railway
tracks near Clover Bar Road in Strathcona County in July of 2008.
Miraculously no one was hurt. This in spite of the fact that the
11,000 kilogram machine was T-boned by an 85 car train and 13 of its
cars derailed. By sheer luck the train cleared a highly travelled
overpass before the derailment occurred.
Eighteen months later the police finally have suspects. Edward Arthur
Vallee was arrested and charged with the crime by Strathcona County
RCMP. He is currently out on bail with a court date of February 1st.
His alleged partner, Ian Douglas Gillie, has had an arrest warrant
issued with his name on it. Police are hoping that the media
attention will cause Gillie to turn himself in.
Both of the suspects face charges of theft over $5000, mischief over
$5,000 and mischief endangering life. The cost of clean-up and
related issues for the incident was over one million dollars. The
engineer, conductor, emergency responders and investigators all agree
that the damage to property and loss of human life could have been
catastrophic.

Disclosure still delaying train derail case
Posted By Michael Di Massa News Staff
Continuing arrival of disclosure has pushed back the election hearings
for two men accused of derailing a train near Sherwood Park in 2008.
Both suspects are now expected to enter pleas and elect how they wish
to be tried on June 2.
Speaking at the latest court hearing on Wednesday, Crown prosecutor
Susan Richardson said the Crown has been the one asking for the delays
since the first court appearance in February, with the expectation of
receiving additional information related to the case from the RCMP.
She said the Crown has recently received another “enormous binder of
discloser from the RCMP.”
The court case stems from a July 2008 train derailment at the Highway
16 rail overpass near Sherwood Park. Two engines and 13 of 85 railcars
derailed after the train collided with a road packer that had been
left on the tracks.
No one was injured in the collision.
It is believed by the RCMP that the road packer was stolen from a
nearby construction zone before being left on the tracks.
Edward Arthur Vallee and Ian Douglas Gillie have been charged with
mischief endangering life, mischief over $5,000 and theft over
$5,000.
Vallee was arrested on Dec. 30, 2009 and Gillie three weeks later Jan.
20.

Charges laid in ’08 train crash
Posted By Michael Di Massa News Staff
Crews work to right two engines and rail cars that came off the tracks
near Highway 16 in 2008.
Charges have been filed against two suspects in relation to the CN
train derailment that occurred east of Sherwood Park in July 2008.
Sherwood Park resident Edward Arthur Vallee, 26, has been charged with
mischief endangering life, mischief over $5,000, and theft over
$5,000.
Vallee was arrested by Strathcona County RCMP on Dec. 30, 2009, and
was subsequently released that same day after posting bail.
He is due to appear in Sherwood Park justice court on Feb. 3.
A second suspect is also being sought by the Strathcona County RCMP,
but little information is known about him, other than his name and
hometown: Ian Douglas Gillie, 26, from Edmonton.
Strathcona County RCMP media liaison Const. Wally Henry said Gillie’s
whereabouts are not known, but he is believed to be in the province.
Warrants for his arrest are in effect.
“We’re just requesting that Mr. Gillie take care of those warrants and
bring himself in,” Henry said.
Henry said the men were identified through a recent tip received from
someone from the public.
“These two people are not known to us. They weren’t on our radar as
far as tracking them down in the first instance,” Henry said.
“It was a matter of us putting all the pieces together … to make sure
everything matched up and at this point there’s enough evidence to lay
these charges.”

Shortly before 3 a.m. on July 10, 2008, a westbound CN train struck a
road packer that had been stolen from a nearby construction site and
parked on the tracks at the Highway 16 overpass east of Clover Bar
Road.
Thirteen of the 85 rail cars and two engines derailed as a result of
the collision. A fire, believed to be from a ruptured fuel tank, was
also triggered, but quickly extinguished by Strathcona County
Emergency Services.
There were two occupants in the train at the time of the collision.
They were not injured.
According to Henry, the incident cost about $1 million in damage and
emergency response.
“From that standpoint alone and the danger it caused to residents and
to motorists of Highway 16, with that overpass going right over the
highway, and the train derailing, it was definitely something that we
were anxious to get to the bottom of and try to solve,” he said. “The
potential for (the incident) to be catastrophic was definitely
there.”
It is believed the two suspects had consumed alcohol prior to their
alleged role in the incident. It is also believed that the road packer
was started by one of the suspects before being driven on the tracks,
Henry said.
There is no indication that the two suspects may have worked at the
construction site.
Members of the public who have information about the incident are
encouraged to call the Strathcona County RCMP at, 780-467-7741 or
Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-1-800-222-8477.
Crime Stoppers provides rewards of up to $2,000 for information
leading to an arrest. Anonymous tips are also eligible for the
reward.

Robert Ernest Vallee, 37, of Lockesburg was arrested in Sevier County
on two counts of indecent exposure
Man Accused of Repeated Flashing Arrested
http://www.examiner.com/Strange-a818..._Arrested.html
HORATIO, Ark. - A man accused of repeatedly exposing himself to the
same woman has been arrested after the woman took a picture of him
naked standing on a highway and called police.
The man had exposed himself five times in the last six months to the
woman as she traveled on Arkansas 41 for work. She did not know the
man, police said.
”I think he had singled her out, and she was loaded and ready for bear
the next time she saw him,” Arkansas State Police Cpl. Ray Gentry
said. “She slowed down in her car to about 40 mph and got a picture of
him.”
Robert Ernest Vallee, 37, of Lockesburg was arrested in Sevier County
on two counts of indecent exposure stemming from incidents Thursday
and Jan. 19 and one count of harassment. All are misdemeanors.
”He admitted he was the suspect in question and he had exposed himself
to her. He admitted he was nude except for a shirt covering his face,”
Gentry said.
The woman said she didn’t want to press charges.
Authorities also had gotten a complaint from a 17-year-old female of a
man exposing himself. He reportedly would stand on the side of the
highway next to his car.
Vallee was arrested Thursday after the woman called a dispatcher,
saying a man in a silver Dodge Neon had exposed himself to her,
according to a Sevier County Sheriff’s Department report. The woman
said the vehicle turned onto Arkansas 24 East and she waited for an
officer at a Horatio convenience store.
Gentry encountered the vehicle traveling east on Arkansas 24 near its
intersection with Arkansas 329 and stopped it.
”He had put his pants back on by the time I made the arrest. He was
worried I was going to charge him with reckless driving for putting
his pants back on while driving,” Gentry said.
A Sevier County deputy took the woman from the store to the traffic
stop and she identified the vehicle.
Vallee was taken to the Sevier County Jail in De Queen. He posted bond
and was released from jail Friday.

Richard Vallée, once a leading member of Quebec’s Hells Angels,
expressed some remorse for killing a government witness about to
testify against him
Angel with bloody hands
Adrian Humphreys, National Post
Sunday, Apr. 13, 2008
By Adrian Humphreys
Richard Vallée, once a leading member of Quebec’s Hells Angels,
expressed some remorse for killing a government witness about to
testify against him — he was sorry that his victim was driving a
classic Porsche sports car when he blew him up in 1993.
After a career marked by drugs, death plots, surprise acquittals and
unlikely prison escapes, Vallée will stand today in a New York
courtroom to learn whether he will spend the rest of his life in jail.
On July 28, 1993, a thunderous explosion tore apart a white, 1977
Porsche, sending both car and body parts across the large parking lot
of Bowl-Mart in Rouses Point, N.Y., about an hour’s drive south of
Montreal.
When the victim was identified as Lee Carter, 31, who worked part-time
as a bartender at the bowling lane and lived in an adjacent trailer,
New York police looked north for answers. Mr. Carter was known as the
sole witness who could finger Vallée, a founding member of the elite
Quebec Nomads chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, in a cross-
border cocaine smuggling conspiracy.
The Nomads were the architects of the biker war that would claim more
than 160 lives.
Mr. Carter’s troubles, however, started in May, 1992, when he was
asked by an acquaintance to move cocaine into Canada.
Mr. Carter, whose namesake father said his son “just wanted to do the
right thing,” feigned interest and then called police, offering to
work for them undercover.
Working with police, Mr. Carter brought 54 kilograms of fake cocaine
into Canada and, at a Montreal motel, was introduced to “Rick” who
told him where to deliver the load. Mr. Carter later identified Vallée
as the man he met and Vallée and fellow conspirators were soon
arrested.
In March, 1993, as Vallée’s trial approached, his lawyer wrote to the
Quebec prosecutor of the case. The letter, U.S. prosecutors claim in
court documents, “intended to ferret out what witnesses or evidence
connected Vallée to the cocaine.” The lawyer was told Mr. Carter was
the only witness who was willing and able to identify Vallée.
Mr. Carter did not get a chance to give his testimony; a month before
the trial he started his Porsche on a sunny morning after it had
secretly been loaded with explosives. Because of the murder of the
only witness against Vallée, his drug charges were dismissed.
Police in Canada and the United States were fairly sure Vallée was
behind the bombing and slowly built a case against him.
A neighbour of Mr. Carter said that two days earlier a man who looked
like Vallée was asking where Mr. Carter lived. New York police
recovered the detonator used in the blast and a year later police in
Quebec seized a nearly identical detonator from a man who was visiting
Vallée’s apartment. Quebec police next searched the apartment of an
associate of Vallée’s and found a bomb-making kit with Vallée’s
fingerprints on it.
Then, in 1995, Serge Quesnel, a Hells Angels assassin, agreed to
cooperate with police. He told officers that Vallée once learned that
Quesnel’s mother’s maiden name was Carter.
“He said, ‘Is she any relation to the guy that I blew up in the
States?’ ” Quesnel said.
The subject came up a second time: “I was telling him how much the
cops hate me because I had killed a guy; they knew it but they weren’t
able to pin it on me. And he said to me, he goes, ‘Well the police
hate me even more because I killed one of their witnesses in a drug
deal in New York,’ ” Quesnel said.
“And he said that it was actually a bit of a shame because the guy was
driving a really nice car and he had to blow up the car, so it was a
shame.”
Vallée was arrested in Trois-Rivières in 1995 and charged in Mr.
Carter’s death. He was told there were two witnesses against him.
Vallée was unfazed.
“You know what happened to Carter, I blew him up and he did not come
to testify. The other two witnesses will also not come to testify,” he
told officers, according to court documents. Bold action followed
those bold words.
In 1997, Vallée concocted a prison fight that gave him a broken jaw
and he was taken to a Montreal hospital. There, two days before he was
to be sent to the United States, a gun-wielding man confronted guards
and helped Vallée flee on a motorcycle.
For years he was a fugitive, featured on both the U.S. Marshals’ Most
Wanted list and the popular TV show America’s Most Wanted.
In 2003, he again fooled police when he was stopped in Montreal for
drunk driving. After giving officers forged documents and claiming he
was a businessman from Costa Rica, he was allowed to walk out of the
police station. It was not until the next day, when his fingerprints
were checked, that mortified officers learned they had again let
Vallée escape.
He did not go far, however, and was arrested days later as he left a
Montreal dépanneur.
In September in Albany, N.Y., Vallée faced a jury trial for—as William
Pericak, the Assistant U.S. Attorney who prosecuted the case, put it
—“procuring the unavailability of the witness by murder.”
Although the case was circumstantial and Vallée denied his
involvement, an anonymous jury found him guilty.
Judge Thomas McAvoy will sentence Vallée this morning. Mr. Pericak is
seeking a life term and $1.4-million in restitution to Mr. Carter’s
family for the loss of his income.
“When you go to jail here we have a thing called the Inmate Financial
Responsibility Program where you work,” Mr. Pericak said.
“It is our hope that Mr. Vallée works every single day for the rest of
his life and that every single day a fraction of that money gets paid
to the family of Lee Carter so that each day he has a reminder of what
he did.”

2 Arrested In Armed Robbery At Zuke’s Deli
Robber Flees With Restaurant’s Register Drawer
POSTED: 1:18 am EDT July 21, 2009
UPDATED: 12:47 pm EDT July 21, 2009
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.—
Police have arrested two people in connection with an armed robbery at
Zuke’s Deli in Plattsburgh on Sunday. Click To Watch Video Of suspects
Leaving Police Station Tuesday MorningPolice said the robber showed a
gun to the deli owner and left with a register drawer full of cash at
about 4 p.m. Police said the man left before officers arrived. Police
searched the area but were unable to immediately locate the man.
Franklyn R. Akey, 24, of Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Franklyn R. Akey, 24, and Anthony P. Vallee, 27, both of Plattsburgh,
were charged with first-degree robbery, a felony. Police said they
found an air pistol believed to have been used in the robbery and the
store register drawer at Vallee’s Wallace Hill Road home. Other
evidence was also found at the home, police said.
Anthony P. Vallee, 27, of Plattsburgh, N.Y.
Police said they traced the two men down using information on the
vehicles used during the robbery. The vehicle was located by police
and information obtained during a traffic stop of the vehicle led to
the arrest, police said, adding that they believe the men wanted the
cash to purchase illegal prescription drugs.Akey has also been charged
in connection with a June 19 burglary at Taylor Rental, where a safe
containing business cards and cash was stolen. He faces a third-degree
burglary charge in that case.Dan Harpp, the co-owner of Zuke’s, told
NewsChannel 5 that he’s “very concerned that this happened in a small
residential area in midafternoon.” He said he’s “thankful no one got
hurt.”Both men were arraigned in Plattsburgh court Tuesday and sent to
Clinton County Jail.

Vallee admits to robbing Zuke’s
March 24, 2010
By ANDREA VanVALKENBURG
PLATTSBURGH — Instead of taking his case to trial as expected, and
without a negotiated plea in place, Anthony Vallee has admitted to
robbing Zuke’s Corner Store last year.
The 27-year-old Plattsburgh man was set to go on trial this week but
recently returned to Clinton County Court and admitted to the full
indictment against him.
That means the terms of his sentencing will be at the discretion of
the court when Vallee returns on May 24, court clerks said.
Vallee and Franklyn Akey, 25, of Plattsburgh were arrested within a
day of the July 19 holdup inside the popular Plattsburgh deli.
Authorities have said that Akey drove the getaway car, while Vallee
stormed the store with an air pistol and threatened two clerks, making
off with a cash register containing $720.
No one was physically harmed during the robbery.
The pair were arrested when police searched Vallee’s home and found
evidence connected to the crime.
Prosecutors have said their addiction to painkillers fueled the brazen
daytime crime.
Akey recently pleaded guilty in the case and is now serving five years
at Bare Hill Correctional Facility. As part of his plea, Akey was
expected to testify against Vallee.
Vallee remains in custody at Clinton County Jail pending sentencing.

Thomas Arthur Vallee was arrested by the secret service in Chicago
days before a scheduled visit by Kennedy
There were three known attempts on taking JFK’s life in the fall of
1963. In late October, Thomas Arthur Vallee was arrested by the secret
service in Chicago days before a scheduled visit by Kennedy. Vallee
was discovered to have an M-1 rifle, a handgun, and three thousand
rounds of ammunition. Days later, the Secret Service received another
threat: Kennedy would be ambushed in Chicago by a Cuban hit squad. The
Chicago trip was cancelled without explanation. On November 18, four
days before the assassination in Dallas, Joseph Milteer outlined the
details for the upcoming Texas attempt to a police informant. None of
these threats were forwarded to authorities in Dallas. (Belzer 10)

U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive Richard VALLEE was arrested
Thursday night in Montreal, Canada, after years on the run.

DUI Arrest Results In U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted Capture
Richard Vallee Wanted for Murdering a Government Witness
U.S. Marshals 15 Most Wanted fugitive Richard VALLEE was arrested
Thursday night in Montreal, Canada, after years on the run.
A surveillance team spotted Vallee entering a massage parlor, and a
heavily-armed tactical team was put on alert. After exiting the
establishment, Vallee’s identity was verified, he was confronted by
law enforcement officers and surrendered without resistance.
Vallee was wanted on charges stemming from the car-bombing murder of
Lee Carter on July 28, 1993 near Champlain, New York. Carter was a
cooperating witness for the government in a cocaine smuggling and
criminal activities case against Vallee and other members of his
Hell’s Angels outlaw motorcycle gang chapter. It is alleged that
Vallee built and placed the car bomb which killed Carter. He was
indicted in this case by the U.S. District Court in Albany, New York
in August 1996.
Ironically, Vallee had been arrested six days prior to his arrest on
Thursday.
“The break we needed in this case occurred on Friday, April 11, when a
man who called himself Guy Turner was arrested by the Montreal, Canada
Police Department for driving under the influence,” said U.S. Marshals
Senior Inspector Harry Layne. “A search incident to that arrest
revealed a quantity of cash and a handgun in Turner’s vehicle. Turner
was released on bond, and later in the week his fingerprints were
determined to be a match for Vallee.”
After this discovery, Canadian law enforcement officers mounted a
massive effort. Their team consisted of more than 100 officers,
supported by members of the U.S. Marshals, New York State Police, and
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. This combined effort led
to Vallee’s arrest Thursday.
Vallee will appear in court in Montreal where it will be determined if
he will stand trial first in Canada on firearms and escape charges, or
be returned to the U.S. where, if convicted, he could receive a
maximum term of life without parole.
U.S. Marshals Service Director Benigno Reyna praised the cooperation
and dedicated police work of the Canadian authorities over the past
five years, which ultimately led to Vallee’s capture. He also
recognized the efforts of the New York State Police, the ATF, and the
Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which contributed to a successful and
safe apprehension.
Annually, U.S. Marshals arrest more than 50 percent of all Federal
fugitives and serve more Federal warrants than all other Federal law
enforcement agencies combined. Last year U.S. Marshals cleared 23,294
warrants on fugitives wanted by state and local law enforcement
authorities in addition to 38,249 Federal fugitive warrants.

Indictment: Brick woman stole $1,400 from mother by forging checks
By MICHELLE SAHN
STAFF WRITER
February 25, 2010 19:50 PM
TOMS RIVER - A 26-year-old Brick woman, accused in an accident that
killed a West Orange attorney, has been indicted in an unrelated case
in which she is accused of stealing from her mother.
An Ocean County grand jury last week charged Crystal Vallee of Route
88 in a single-count indictment alleging theft by deception. The
indictment accused Vallee of cashing a series of seven checks written
on an account she was unauthorized to use. The indictment alleges the
total amount of the theft was more than $500, the legal threshold for
a third-degree crime carrying a potential prison term of three to five
years upon a conviction. Authorities have said Vallee stole blank
checks from her mother, wrote a series of them to herself in amounts
totaling $1,400 and then cashed them. The alleged criminal activity
occurred between Nov. 9 and Nov. 24, 2009, the indictment said. Vallee
also is charged, but not yet indicted, in an unrelated case involving
the vehicular homicide of Mark A. Infante, 54, a municipal prosecutor
in West Orange who had been nominated last year by then-Gov. Jon
Corzine to become an administrative law judge. Infante was struck by
Vallee’s vehicle while he walked on Route 35 near his vacation home in
the Ocean Beach I section of Toms River on the day after Thanksgiving.
Vallee admitted using cocaine prior to the fatal event, an assistant
prosecutor said in court at a recent hearing. Vallee is being held in
the Ocean County Jail. She has been unable to post $150,000 bail set
in the vehicular homicide case or $10,000 set in the theft case.
Vallee also has charges pending against her in Monmouth County
stemming from her arrest in Neptune on Nov. 14 on charges of
possessing crack cocaine and a crack pipe.

Probe continues into pedestrian fatality in Toms River
By MARGARET F. BONAFIDE
STAFF WRITER
December 03, 2009 00:21 AM
TOMS RIVER - Authorities are continuing to investigate Friday’s fatal
crash on Route 35, while thousands of mourners bid farewell to Mark A.
Infante, 54, a prominent Essex County attorney who was struck and
killed near his summer home in Ocean Beach.
Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy said that the preliminary
investigation shows Infante was walking on the east shoulder of the
southbound lane of Route 35.
The initial investigation showed Infante was struck from behind by a
car driven by Crystal Vallee, 26, of West Princeton Avenue in Brick,
Mastronardy said.
Infante was en route to the Lavallette post office, about four blocks
away, when he was struck. Near the site where he was killed, a family
friend later found the letter Infante was taking to the post office,
Mastronardy said. The letter was returned to his family, Mastronardy
said.
Police said that Vallee’s car struck Infante then a second vehicle, a
Toyota Camry driven by Lawrence Geller, 76, of Philadelphia. The Camry
had minimal damage and was able to be driven after authorities cleared
the car from the scene.
Authorities are continuing to await forensic results that can help
determine the facts of Vallee’s activities before the crash and what
led to her car striking Infante, according to the Ocean County
Prosecutor’s Office. Forensic evidence that was collected is still
being analyzed. No charges have been filed against Vallee, police
said.
Vallee’s car, a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina, registered to her, has been
impounded by authorities and is the subject of a search warrant, a
standard protocol in any investigation involving a fatality, Mohel
said. Police are asking the public if they have any information
relative to the investigation to call Detective Craig Ally of the
Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, ext. 3113 or the
township police Traffic Safety Office at 732-349-0150.

Drivers charged with vehicular homicide in Toms River crashes

December 13, 2009 05:50 AM
TOMS RIVER - A driver who allegedly caused a two-vehicle crash that
killed one of the passengers in his car has been charged with
vehicular homicide.
Authorities claim Jamal Lomax, 33, of Dove Street in Toms River, was
driving under the influence when he lost control of his Subaru Nov. 27
on the Thomas A. Mathis Bridge, which carries Route 37 traffic east
over Barnegat Bay. After striking a sport-utility vehicle, police said
the Subaru overturned, causing Lomax and two passengers to be ejected.
One of the passengers, 33-year-old Charles Hart of Toms River, was
pronounced dead at the scene shortly after the 11:30 p.m. crash. In
addition to the vehicular homicide and DUI charges, Lomax has been
charged with reckless driving and failure to wear a seat belt. He was
released from the Ocean County Jail in Toms River after posting
$75,000 bail. Lomax and the other passenger - 33-year-old Lamiont
Coston, also of Toms River - were treated for minor injuries at Jersey
Shore University Hospital in Neptune. The driver of the other vehicle,
Sarah Rathgeberkleinert, 22, of Toms River, and her three passengers
were uninjured, police said. The driver in a separate fatal accident
Nov. 27 also is facing vehicular homicide and driving while
intoxicated charges. Crystal Vallee, 26, of Brick was charged by Toms
River police in connection with a crash that killed 54-year-old Mark
A. Infante. Police said Infante, the municipal prosecutor in West
Orange, who had been nominated for a state judgeship, was walking
across Route 35 near the Lavallette post office when Vallee’s car
struck him from behind. At her first appearance in court on the
homicide charge Wednesday, a visibly distraught Vallee sat shaking her
head and shielding her face before standing to address Superior Court
Judge Wendel E. Daniels. Vallee also is charged with reckless driving,
possession of heroin in a motor vehicle, failing to maintain a lane of
travel and failing to keep to the right. When asked if she understood
her rights, Vallee put her face in her hands, then looked at the judge
and quietly said, “Yes, sir.” She remained held Tuesday on a total of
$170,000 bail for not only the homicide charge but also a theft
charged filed by Brick police after her mother accused her of stealing
blank checks and writing them out to herself

TOMS RIVER - A prominent Essex County attorney in line to be a state
administrative law judge was struck by a car and killed Friday while
walking along Route 35 near his summer home.
The lawyer, Mark A. Infante, 54, of West Orange, who maintains a
vacation home in Ocean Beach I, was returning from a walk to the
Lavallette Post Office when he was struck about 12:30 p.m., said Toms
River Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy. He was pronounced dead at
the scene, police said. Infante was struck by a southbound 1998
Chevrolet Lumina driven by Christal Vallee, 26, of Brick, Mastronardy
said. Traffic safety officers, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office
and county Sheriff’s Department are investigating the circumstances of
the accident. Police said Infante was across about 100 feet south and
across the street from the summer home which his family said was built
by his grandfather in 1962. Infante was returning to the summer home
after walking about a half-mile to the post office, police said.
Infante, the West Orange municipal prosecutor, was nominated in June
by Gov. Jon S. Corzine for appointment as a state a administrative law
judge. The family had gathered for Thanksgiving at the home of
Infante’s brother, Martin Infante, in Point Pleasant. On Friday,
members gathered and consoled each other and spoke about the man they
admired. They recalled how Mark Infante, in charge of this year’s
turkey and ever the stickler for detail, fussed over the best brining
kit for the holiday fowl. The brined bird turned out to be the best
they had ever had, the Infantes said. He also made bread pudding, said
Lynn Infante, 53, his wife of 31 years. He loved to cook and loved
family traditions especially when it came to food. “We were friends,
best friends,” Lynn Infante said. Lynn and Mark Infante, sweethearts
since junior high school, also have two sons, Mark, 21, and Andrew,
19, both of West Orange. Infante’s daughter, Jessica, is a staff
writer for the Asbury Park Press and Times-Beacon newspapers. A Giants
fan, Mark Infante was passionate about yelling instructions to the
players through the television screen. He didn’t care that they could
not hear him, Jessica Infante said. Mark Infante was a man of many
hobbies and had an appropriate outfit to go with each adventure. He
and his wife were fans of yoga and were planning on attending yoga
class this morning. He could do a perfect tree pose, Jessica Infante
said. His enthusiasm for yoga would at times lead him to engage other
yoga followers. “He would challenge you to a yoga-off,” Jessica said.
Lynn Infante said she was just grateful that “all the children were
together in the same room” on Thanksgiving. “He was a good egg,” Lynn
Infante said of her husband. “I would tease him about it all the
time.” Mark Infante loved his summer home, a place he cherished and
spent time fishing, boating and enjoying life, his family said. “He
always had as much fun as he could,” Jessica Infante said. “He was
like a big kid with toys.”
