In April 2007, Russel Trojan, 51, was at his home on Jerry’s Ave in Nanuet, when a building inspector came onto his property and started photographing some broken down vehicles parked in violation of town code. The incident escalated and Trojan stabbed the inspector multiple times with a kitchen knife before being subdued by a neighbor. The inspector was hospitalized but did survive. Trojan was convicted of attempted murder in the second degree. A sentence is still pending.
