A series of arrests across Schuyler County earlier this month highlight a mix of alleged offenses ranging from burglary and forgery to driving while intoxicated and probation violations, according to the sheriff’s office.
Authorities released details from several incidents tied to complaints and traffic stops between April 2 and April 15, with multiple individuals facing charges in local courts.
Among the most serious cases, a 26-year-old Pennsylvania man was arrested on burglary and stalking charges following a complaint on Havana Glen Road in Montour Falls. He was arraigned in Schuyler County CAP Court and remanded to jail. The same individual was later charged again in a separate incident on April 7 in Montour Falls, this time for criminal contempt and aggravated harassment, and was again remanded to the Schuyler County Jail.
In another case, a Watkins Glen man, 36, was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant for violating parole stemming from the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. He was remanded to the Schuyler County Jail without bail.
A Burdett man, 30, was also arrested on an outstanding warrant for violating probation out of Schuyler County Court and was remanded to jail.
Retail theft and trespass complaints led to additional arrests. A 52-year-old Montour Falls man was charged with petit larceny after a complaint at a Dollar General store and was issued an appearance ticket for village court. Separately, a 35-year-old Montour Falls woman was charged with trespass following a complaint on Owego Street and was also issued an appearance ticket.
Deputies also reported a driving while intoxicated arrest in Watkins Glen. A 21-year-old Burdett woman was charged with DWI, operating with a blood alcohol content above .08%, and additional vehicle and traffic violations after a stop on State Route 414. She was issued uniform traffic tickets and is scheduled to appear in Watkins Glen Village Court.
In the Town of Hector, a 43-year-old Massachusetts man was arrested following a traffic stop on State Route 414 and charged with second-degree forgery. He was arraigned in Schuyler County CAP Court and released with a future court appearance scheduled.
All charges will be addressed in the appropriate local courts at a later date.
