MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) – An assistant scoutmaster at a suburban New York Boy Scouts troop is facing criminal charges after allegedly sharing LSD, marijuana and alcohol with a 13-year-old troop member.
Lawrence Moschitta, 32, of West Babylon, was arrested Sunday, according to court documents. The incident allegedly happened Dec. 3 in Moschitta’s Long Island home, the documents said.
Moschitta, who works as an operations manager at a Long Island industrial business, was charged with two misdemeanors: unlawfully dealing with a child and failure to exercise control of a minor. He was released on $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bond.
His father, Anthony Moschitta, said his son, a former Eagle Scout, returned home after being released Tuesday night but was not immediately available to speak about the charges. The elder Moschitta said his son has yet to hire an attorney.
