        Suffolk County police say they arrested a man in connection to the human remains found in a suitcase on the Huntington-Huntington Station border.
        They say 31-year-old Ronald Schroeder, of Huntington, was arrested at Penn Station, just before 2 p.m. Friday.
        Schroeder was charged with concealment of a human corpse. He was due to be arraigned before a judge in First District court in Central Islip, but waived his right to appear citing a medical condition.
        MTA police also charged him with criminal possession of a controlled substance.
        Authorities say a strong odor of human remains were detected inside the suspect's apartment after police conducted a search last week of his home.
        Relatives of Seikeya Jones left Central Islip Court sobbing after learning the details regarding how she was found. Prosecutors say Jones was discovered in a fetal position in a suitcase with her wrists bound.
        He is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Sept. 7.
