A convicted rapist from Huntington Station has been arrested in connection with the 2013 murder of Sarah Strobel, a Walt Whitman High School graduate, Suffolk police said Wednesday.

A Huntington hero was honored in the state capital last Tuesday. Second Precinct Police Officer Mark Collins, who was shot in the neck and hip by a suspected gang member during an arrest last year, was honored for his exemplary service by Assemblyman Chad A. Lupinacci (R, C, I-South Huntington) and his colleagues in both the state assembly and state senate.

Community, government and religious leaders across Long Island and the Town of Huntington mourned the 49 lives lost Sunday in the Orlando shooting tragedy.
