On May 27, 2025, a violent incident occurred at Samadhi House on Washington Avenue Extension in Saugerties, New York. According to the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) at Kingston, 38-year-old Shannon N. Marshall was arrested following an altercation that left a 37-year-old woman with multiple stab wounds.
The incident began around 4:45 a.m. when the victim responded to a knock at her room's door at Samadhi House. Marshall was on the other side, and a verbal dispute quickly escalated into a physical confrontation. During the altercation, the victim sustained multiple stab wounds. She was transported to HealthAlliance Hospital in Kingston for treatment.
Marshall was located shortly after the incident at the Wenton Motel on Route 9W in Saugerties. She was arrested without incident and processed at State Police Kingston. Marshall faces several charges:
Assault in the Second Degree (Class D Felony)
Two counts of Menacing in the Second Degree (Class A Misdemeanor)
Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree (Class A Misdemeanor)
Following her arraignment in Saugerties Town Court Centralized Arraignment Part (CAP), Marshall was remanded to the Ulster County Jail. Her bail was set at $20,000 cash, $50,000 bond, or $100,000 partially secured bond. She is scheduled to appear in Saugerties Town Court on May 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m.
The investigation involved multiple law enforcement agencies. Initially, the City of Kingston Police Department was notified by HealthAlliance Hospital staff upon treating the victim. Determining that the assault occurred within Saugerties' jurisdiction, the case was transferred to the Town of Saugerties Police Department and subsequently to the New York State Police. The collaborative efforts of these departments were instrumental in the swift apprehension of the suspect.
This incident underscores the serious legal consequences of violent crimes. Assault in the second degree is a felony offense in New York, carrying significant penalties, including potential imprisonment. Victims of such crimes often face not only physical injuries but also emotional and psychological trauma.
