Exclusive: Krauss to Stay With Putnam DA’s Office
After it was first announced that District Attorney Adam Levy’s second-in-command would be resigning, Levy confirmed through a spokesperson that chief Assistant District Attorney Chana Krauss wouldn’t be going anywhere.
In a statement sent to The Putnam Examiner, Levy confirmed Krauss would be staying with the DA’s office.
“It is with great pleasure I announce that due to a change in personal circumstances, Chana Krauss will be continuing her wonderful work with the Putnam County District Attorney’s Office,” Levy stated.
In mid-November, Levy stated Krauss would be leaving the office because of family circumstances, but an exact date for her departure wasn’t known. In that statement Levy said he was accepting the resignation with a “heavy heart” and noted the “immeasurable impact” she had on the Putnam DA’s office.
Krauss, who lives in Northern Westchester, has been Levy’s chief ADA since former chief ADA Christopher York retired in November 2013 after 13 years at that post for two different district attorneys. York is now in private practice in Brewster.
