On July 7, 2026, at approximately 9:00 a.m., New York State Police in Marcy responded to a domestic dispute involving a tractor-trailer traveling westbound on State Route 49 near Cavanaugh Road in the town of Marcy.


An investigation determined that Thompson was operating a 2021 Freightliner tractor-trailer when she became involved in a dispute with her passenger, Capers. During the incident, Thompson brought the tractor-trailer to an abrupt stop in the middle of the roadway before reversing and striking an uninvolved 2022 Jeep occupied by Kenneth D. Zorns, age 43, of Morrisonville, NY.


During the investigation, Troopers recovered a loaded 9mm Taurus G3C handgun and two large-capacity ammunition feeding devices after they were thrown from the tractor trailer. Neither Thompson nor Capers claimed ownership of the firearm, and neither possessed a valid New York State pistol permit.


No injuries were reported as a result of the crash.

Thompson and Capers were transported to Oneida County Centralized Arraignment. Following arraignment, both were remanded to the Oneida County Correctional Facility without bail pending a felony examination scheduled for July 9, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. in the Town of Marcy Court.
