On February 3, 2026, at about 2:49 p.m., troopers responded to a disturbance on Lakeview Drive in Halfmoon. The investigation determined Doston allegedly had entered the home of a victim who was known to him without their knowledge or permission while they were not there. The victim returned home and reportedly discovered Doston inside. Doston refused to leave after being told multiple times, and a physical altercation ensued, during which Doston caused injuries to the victim. During the altercation, Doston also allegedly damaged property belonging to the victim. The victim fled the residence in a vehicle, and Doston reportedly followed them in his vehicle until they were able to evade him and contact law enforcement.

Doston was located, arrested by the Schenectady Police Department, and turned over to troopers. Doston was transported to SP Clifton Park for processing. He was then arraigned at the Halfmoon Town Court, where he was remanded to the Saratoga County Correctional Facility without bail.
