ROCHESTER – A Rochester man was arrested on Wednesday after an investigation into the sale and distribution of heroin, crack cocaine and cocaine from Rochester to Orleans County.

The Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force, the Greater Rochester Narcotics Enforcement Team (G.R.A.N.E.T.), the Rochester Police Department and the Albion Police Department K9 Unit executed a search warrant at 504 Chili Ave., Rochester.

Police seized more than 3 ounces of cocaine, more than an ounce of crack cocaine, five bundles of heroin, a loaded semi-automatic 380 pistol, more than $8,000 in U.S. currency, scales, packaging and other drug paraphernalia.

Trevis D. Baker, 36, of 504 Chili Ave. was arrested on numerous drug charges. Baker is a New York State parolee, the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force said this afternoon.

Police seized a pistol, drugs and about $8,000 in cash after executing a search warrant at Baker’s residence.

He was arrested on five counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (Class B felonies). He faces additional drug and weapons charges in Monroe County, as well as possible federal charges, the Task Force said.

Baker was arraigned in Clarendon Town Court by Justice Thomas DiFante, and remanded to Orleans County Jail without bail due to a lengthy criminal history, the Task Force said. Baker is due back in Clarendon Town Court at 11 a.m. on April 5.

The Orleans County Sheriff’s Department also assisted in the investigation.

ALBION – Two people were sentenced to state prison this afternoon by Orleans County Court Judge James Punch.

Diane Gallagher of Shelby was sentenced to 3 years in prison, plus 3 years of post-release supervision, for attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree.

Gallagher, 46, of East Shelby Road admitted in a Jan. 19 court appearance to having heroin and selling it on April 2, 2015. She pleaded guilty and faced a maximum sentence of 1 ½ to 8 years in prison. However, as part of a plea deal, Gallagher, a second felony offender, would not be sentenced to more than 3 years in state prison.

Judge Punch gave her the maximum as part of the plea agreement.

Gallagher’s attorney, Mark Lewis, said she has struggled with heroin addiction. She stayed off the drug for three years before a relapse, Lewis said in court today.

“She is addicted to heroin,” Lewis said. “She has a terrible affinity for it.”

Punch said Gallagher sold heroin on multiple occasions.

“You are not the victim,” the judge said. “You are creating multiple victims.”

Punch also ordered Gallagher to pay $180 in restitution to the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force for drug buy money, and also suspended her driver’s license for 6 months.

In another sentencing, a Barre resident was sentenced to 2 years in state prison for violating his probation.

Joseph A. Smith, 21, of Oak Orchard Road was convicted in Ontario County for first-degree sexual abuse on Nov. 15, 2011. He allegedly had sexual contact with a child age 6 for that crime.

He admitted in a previous court appearance to violating his probation by leaving the area in a visit to Alabama without notifying probation, consuming alcohol on another occasion, meeting unsupervised with a 17-year-old girl, contacting a 17-year-old girl through social media, and being discharged from a sex offender program for noncompliance due to the drinking violation.

Judge Punch said those represent “substantial violations” to Smith’s probation and Punch sentenced Smith to 2 years in prison, plus 3 years of post-release supervision.

Smith apologized in court today.

“I am extremely remorseful to my victim,” he said. “I don’t know what was going through my mind.”

Punch said Smith has shown no progress dealing with his issues, has multiple failures on probation, and is a high risk of reoffending.

The judge today also arraigned a Holley man on several drug charges. Christopher J. Price, 28, of 1 Thomas St. was arrested on Feb. 4 and has been in jail since then. He is suspected in the manufacturing, sale and distribution of methamphetamine in the Village of Holley.

He was arraigned on charges of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, two counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, one count of unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine in the third degree and one count of criminal possession of precursors of methamphetamine.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

BUFFALO – U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. announced today that Donald Stirk, 36, of Albion was sentenced to 48 months in prison for importing αPVP into the United States.

Stirk could have faced up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Elizabeth A. Wolford.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank T. Pimentel, who handled the case, stated that on March 5, 2015, Customs and Border Protection officers in Memphis, Tenn. conducted a routine inspection of a package mailed from China and addressed to the defendant in Albion.

The inspection revealed that the package contained αPVP (sometimes known as “flakka”), a Schedule I controlled substance. On March 13, 2015, law enforcement officers inspected another package from China addressed to “Donald Starks” at the Albion Post Office, which again revealed αPVP.

Subsequent investigation revealed more such packages at the Albion Post Office. On April 15, 2015, officers performed a controlled delivery of several of the packages to the defendant at his Albion residence and then executed a search warrant at the residence revealing an additional quantity of αPVP.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by Special Agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James C. Spero.

Press Release, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr.

BUFFALO – U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. announced today that Allen M. Young, 39, of Barker pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methylone. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $2 million fine.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank T. Pimentel, who is handling the case, stated that between October 21, 2011, and December 13, 2012, the defendant conspired with Peter Viera to obtain methylone from China, which Young then distributed.

On December 13, 2012, while members of the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force were attempting to execute a search warrant on Young and his car, he fled at a high rate of speed before crashing the car in Ridgeway.

Young fled the scene on foot. Nine rounds of .50 caliber ammunition were found in the car. As he fled, the defendant discarded a backpack near the scene of the crash which contained 1.8 pounds of methylone and just over one pound of marijuana.

Young was subsequently arrested in Erie, Pa. on Feb. 14, 2013, and has been in custody ever since. On April 5, 2013, officers executed a search warrant at his residence and seized seven firearms belonging to the defendant.

Peter Viera has also been convicted and will be sentenced on May 5, 2016.

The plea is the result of an investigation on the part of the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force, under the direction of District Attorney Joseph V. Cardone and Sheriff Randall Bower, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, under the direction of James J. Hunt, Special Agent in Charge, New York Field Division.

Sentencing is scheduled for June 17, 2016, at 10:30 a.m. before Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci, Jr.

Press Release, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul

BUFFALO – U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Arlene Combs, 31, of Rochester, who was convicted of racketeering, was sentenced today to 240 months by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.

“This case, which began with greed, ended in the murder of a senior citizen,” said U.S. Attorney Hochul. “As this sentence demonstrates, law enforcement will be relentless in pursuing each and every person responsible for Mr. Marciniak’s death, regardless of role in that crime.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott S. Allen, Jr., who handled the case, said that Combs and co-defendant Rico Vendetti hired three men, Donald Griffin, Albert Parsons, and Juan Javier, to travel from Rochester to the Medina home of 78-year-old Homer Marciniak to steal Marciniak’s valuable comic book collection in exchange for $1,000 each.

In executing their plan, in the early morning hours of July 4, 2010, Combs, along with Griffin, Parson, and Javier, drove from Rochester to Medina and cut Marciniak’s phone line.

In the early morning hours of the following day, July 5, 2010, the defendants returned to Marciniak’s home. Wearing ski masks and gloves, Griffin, Parsons, and Javier forcibly entered and during the course of the burglary, Marciniak, who had a serious heart condition, awoke and confronted the burglars.

Griffin struck Marciniak in the face and then, along with Javier, bound his hands with bed linens. Javier then verbally threatened Marciniak with a BB gun in hand. Parsons, Griffin, and Javier ultimately located the comic book collection along with several strong boxes containing cash, coins, and other valuables.

After Griffin, Parsons, and Javier fled the scene with Combs, Marciniak freed himself and was taken to Medina Memorial Hospital for treatment of his facial injuries. However, after Marciniak was treated and released, he suffered a heart attack, was re-admitted to the hospital, and died shortly thereafter. Medical experts concluded that the blow Griffin struck, as well as the emotional trauma caused by the burglary, directly contributed to Marciniak’s cardiac arrest and resulting death.

Griffin, Parsons, and Javier gave the comic books to Combs who, along with another codefendant, Terry Stewart, took the comic books to Vendetti later in the day on July 5. Once Vendetti learned that the burglary resulted in Marciniak’s death, Vendetti disposed of the comic books.

Law enforcement officials within the Rochester Police Department identified the defendants during the course of separate investigation in October 2010. The defendants were arrested soon thereafter. In February and March 2011, Combs attempted to persuade Javier to not communicate with law enforcement about the July 2010 burglary and subsequent death of Homer Marciniak.

The burglary grew out of an organized shoplifting ring that stole hundreds of thousands of dollars in merchandise from retail stores such as Walmart, Sears, Home Depot, JoAnn Fabrics, Tops, and Wegmans. Vendetti, the former owner of Eastside Gold & Car Audio, formerly in Rochester, along with codefendant, Dayon Shaver, purchased the stolen merchandise for 25 cents on the dollar and then sold the stolen merchandise on eBay for about half of its retail value, primarily to out-of-state customers.

Also convicted in connection with this case:

Rico Vendetti was convicted of racketeering and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 20, 2016.

Donald Griffin was convicted of committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering: murder, and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 7, 2016.

Albert Parsons was convicted of a violent crime in aid of racketeering: assault resulting in bodily injury, and is scheduled to be sentenced in May 2016.

Juan Javier, who was 17 at the time of the burglary, was prosecuted as an adult in Orleans County and sentenced to seven years in state prison.

Terry Stewart was convicted of racketeering and was sentenced to 55 months in federal prison.

Dayon Shaver was convicted of conspiring to traffic in stolen goods across state lines on March 21, 2016, and was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison.

Brandon Meade was convicted of conspiring to traffic in stolen goods across state lines and was sentenced on January 21, 2016 to time-served after serving nine months in federal prison.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation on the part of Special Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Adam S. Cohen, the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Craig Hanesworth, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department, under the direction of Sheriff Scott Hess, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Patrick O’Flynn, the Medina Police Department, under the direction of Chief Jose Avila and officers from the Rochester Police Department, under the direction of Chief Michael Ciminelli. Special assistance was provided by Orleans County District Attorney Joseph Cardone.

David P. Perry Sr.

KENDALL – A Kendall man has been arrested on multiple charges related to sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of five girls ranging in age from 13 to 15, Orleans County Undersheriff Chris Bourke said this afternoon.

David P. Perry Sr., 67, of Norway Road allegedly forced juvenile victims to smoke marijuana and drink alcoholic wine and vodka over several months in 2015. At times, the victims would reportedly consume these substances to the point of becoming impaired and intoxicated, Bourke said.

Perry would allegedly make them undress, then he would perform various criminal sexual acts and sexual abuse. It is also alleged that Perry would force the victims to pose for pictures while undressed or partially dressed.

The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant on Perry’s Norway Road home in January. Electronic media evidence was recovered and submitted to the Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory in Buffalo for analysis.

Perry on March 9 was charged by Investigator Shannon Brett with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, one count of criminal sexual act in the third degree and one count of sexual abuse in the third degree.

Perry was arraigned before Kendall Town Justice Deborah Drennan. Bail was set at $5,000. Perry is scheduled to return to Kendall Court on April 4 at 6 p.m. Additional charges are pending, Burke said.

The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with additional information on this case to contact Investigator Brett at 585-590-4158 or 585-590-4143.

ALBION – Orleans County Court Judge James Punch arraigned three people for felonies today. All are currently in jail and entered not guilty pleas.

Michael A. Parkinson, 31, of Holley faces multiple charges. He is accused of manufacturing methamphetamine. The resident of 1 Thomas St., Apt. G, (Holley Hotel) was charged along with three other people on Feb. 4 after a search warrant was executed by the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force and other law enforcement agencies.

Parkinson was arraigned today for unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine in the third degree, one count of criminal possession of precursors of methamphetamine, and one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree.

Parkinson has prior felonies, Assistant District Attorney Susan Howard said. His attorney said Parkinson had a small role in the alleged crimes.

During sentencing Parkinson was reprimanded by Judge Punch for laughing.

“I don’t know if this is funny to you,” Punch said. “It sure isn’t to me.”

The judge set bail at $75,000.

In other arraignments:

A Rochester man who was charged on Halloween with driving a stolen 2010 Mercedes-Benz in Albion was arraigned for criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree.

Xavier A. Lowry, 24, of 104 Hobart St. was the sole occupant of the vehicle and taken into custody on Oct. 31. Albion police were alerted to the stolen vehicle when the plate reader system in an Albion patrol vehicle detected the stolen car on North Main Street. The vehicle was found to have been stolen from the City of Rochester several days before.

Lowry has a prior youthful offender disposition, a failure to appear in court and several bench warrants have been issued for his arrest.

Judge Punch set bail at $50,000.

A Rochester man suspected in the sale and distribution of crack cocaine from Rochester to the Village of Albion was arraigned for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third and fifth degrees.

Steven L. Carter, 23, of 185 Mount Hope Blvd. was arrested on Jan. 15 after being stopped on Clarendon Street by the Albion Police Department.

Carter has no prior criminal record except for a youthful offender disposition.

The judge set bail at $10,000.

ALBION – Three people were sentenced to either county jail or state prison today, including two people for sex crimes.

A Cheektowaga man, 21, who allegedly had sex four times with a 16-year-old girl in Shelby was sentenced to 1 ½ years in state prison, plus five years of post-release supervision.

Carson Cavers also is facing rape charges in Ontario County and an unrelated charge of second-degree assault in Erie County.

He apologized to his victim and his family for the crime, third-degree rape, in Shelby. Orleans County Court Judge James Punch said the crime was too serious for probation.

“You seem to have a growing problem,” Punch told Cavers during sentencing this afternoon. “You need to get control of this right away.”

The judge also issued an order of protection for the victim. He told Cavers to change his trajectory in life, because he is harming others.

“You’re leaving a trail of disturbed people,” Punch told Cavers.

A Holley man was sentenced to six months in county jail, plus 10 years probation for second-degree attempted rape. Anthony Roe was 20 when he allegedly had sex with a 14-year-old girl in July.

“I just want to apologize for my actions, sir,” Roe told Punch in court today.

The judge said Roe has been too arrogant and should express humility.

“Arrogance will stop you from getting over this problem,” the judge said.

A Lockport man was sentenced to 1 ½ to 3 years in state prison for attempted assault in the second degree.

Markel Hill, 25, admitted in a previous court appearance he punched a woman in the face on Oct. 9, 2014. He was arrested by the Medina Police Department and charged with second-degree assault.

The woman who was punched in the face suffered a broken jaw and needed surgery. Her mouth was wired shut. She continues to suffer pain from the injury.

“It was unreasonable and unnecessary force that caused some pretty serious injury,” Punch said.

ALBION – A Rochester man who admitted he sold cocaine from his car in Holley in March 2015 was sentenced today to 5 years in state prison.

Roy L. Carter, 40, has at least one prior felony for a drug charge in Monroe County in June 2008.

Carter on Nov. 2 pleaded guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree. As part of a plea deal, he would face no more than 5 years in state prison.

Carter declined to speak during sentencing this afternoon. His attorney, Brian Degnan, said Carter wants to make changes to his life while in prison, earning his GED and taking vocational training.

Orleans County Court Judges James Punch gave Carter the maximum sentence as part of the plea.

“You need to turn your life around,” Punch said. “You’ve been selling drugs for a long time. You are clearly a drug seller. You’ve caused a lot of misery and young people to go off the tracks.”

In other cases today:

Judge Punch set bail at $150,000 for a Medina man facing numerous drug charges. Reginald A. Kendrick, 40, of 703 Church St., Apt. 2, was charged last month with eight counts of criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and four counts of conspiracy in the fourth degree.

He was allegedly selling crack cocaine in the Village of Medina. District Attorney Joe Cardone said Kendrick has a history of crimes, including in other states. He also has given false names, Cardone said.

“He has a remarkable record,” Punch said about Kendrick’s criminal history.

A mother and son were arraigned for three counts of promoting prison contraband.

Scott Briggs, 31, of Broome County is an inmate at the Orleans Correctional Facility serving a 6- to 7-year sentence for burglary and possession of stolen property.

ALBION – Three people face felony drug charges in Orleans County following an investigation into the sale and distribution of heroin and suboxone in the villages of Albion and Medina, the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force is reporting.

The trio was arrested on Monday after sealed indictments were handed up by an Orleans County grand jury.

The following were arrested:

Terra J. Swift

Terra J. Swift, 23, of 404 East Oak Orchard St., Medina, who was charged with three counts of both criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (both Class B felonies).

Swift is accused of selling heroin to an undercover agent of the Task Force on several occasions.

She also is wanted on a warrant in Monroe County.

She is scheduled to be arraigned in Orleans County Court today at 3 p.m.

Fidanza is accused of selling suboxone to an undercover Task Force agent on several occasions.

He was arraigned in Orleans County Court on Monday by Judge James Punch. Fidanza was committed to the county jail on $50,000 bail. He is due back in court on March 14 at 2 p.m.

Fidanza faces additional charges for possession, the Task Force reported, because he was allegedly in possession of several baggies of heroin and hypodermic needles.

Roxanne M. Thomas

Roxanne M. Thomas, 40, of 17 Jay Drive, Holley, who was charged with one count of both criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree (Class D felonies).

Thomas is accused of selling suboxone to an undercover Task Force agent. She was arraigned in County Court by Judge James Punch, who sent her to jail on $10,000 bail. She is due back in court on March 14 at 2 p.m.

Thomas also was arraigned in Albion Town Court by Town Justice Joseph Fuller for welfare fraud in the fifth degree. She was committed to the county jail on that charge on $500 bail.

ALBION – Two people pleaded guilty to felonies in Orleans County Court on Monday and could be sentenced to either the county jail or state prison.

A Cheektowaga man pleaded guilty to third-degree rape and faces a maximum of 1 ½ years in state prison as part of a plea deal.

Carson Cavers, 21, allegedly had sex with a 16-year-old girl in Shelby four times between April 19 and July 4. He also is facing rape charges in Ontario County and an unrelated charge of second-degree assault in Erie County.

The Orleans County charge is independent of the other charges. The third-degree rape charge would normally carry a maximum of 4 years in state prison.

Cavers could also be sentenced to post-release supervision when he is sentenced on March 14.

In another case, an Albion man pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a firearm and could face up to a year in the county jail when he is sentenced on May 23.

Christopher D. Rivers Jr., 19, faced kidnapping, robbery, grand larceny, criminal use of a firearm, unlawful imprisonment and menacing charges after being arrested in January for allegedly holding adult male and female victims against their will and forcing a woman to withdraw money from her ATM.

Rivers, in a plea deal on Monday, admitted he had a Remington shotgun with a shortened barrel. Rivers said he didn’t have a license for the modified shotgun.

The charge of criminal possession of a firearm normally carries a maximum sentence of 1 1/3 to 4 years in state prison. If County Court Judge James Punch sentences Rivers to more than a year in county jail, he can withdraw his plea and go to trial. Rivers will be sentenced on May 23.

ALBION – A Brockport man, 29, was sentenced to seven years in state prison today after a jury convicted him on Dec. 7 of second-degree rape.

Matthew M. Edwards of West Ridge Road continued to profess his innocence today during sentencing. Edwards was found guilty by a jury of 13 counts of second-degree rape, 13 counts of second-degree criminal sexual act and one count of endangering the welfare of a child.

Edwards allegedly had sex with a 13-year-old girl in the Village of Holley between July 4 and Aug. 30, 2014.

District Attorney Joe Cardone asked Orleans County Court Judge James Punch to sentence Edwards to state prison. Cardone said Edwards has extensive criminal history, including other sex crimes.

Larry Koss, attorney for Edwards, said Edwards in past cases has admitted his crimes and pleaded guilty. If Edwards had pleaded guilty to the more recent charges, he could have reduced his prison sentence in a plea deal, Koss said. But Edwards has been consistent in denying the charges.

“I’ve done a lot of things in my life that I’m not proud of,” Edwards said during sentencing this afternoon. “I’ve made a lot of bad choices. But I didn’t do this. I didn’t do these crimes. I deserve to go to prison but not for this crime.”

Edwards said he has struggled with drug and mental health issues. He said he would use his time in prison to work on those problems.

“I’m tired,” Edwards said. “This isn’t the life I want to lead.”

Judge Punch said a jury found Edwards guilty.

“I have no quarrel with the jury’s verdict,” Punch told Edwards. “You need to come to grips with what you did in this case.”

The judge also said there would be 15 years of post-release supervision for Edwards, and ordered that he pay a $1,000 victim fee, $325 court surcharge, $50 DNA fee, and $50 sex offender registry fee. The judge also issued an order of protection for the victim.

MEDINA – Two people have been charged, including a taxi driver, for allegedly selling crack cocaine in the Village of Medina, the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force is reporting today.

The Task Force says a driver for Medina Transport used the taxi to sell crack cocaine and transport a drug dealer to customers, and also transport customers to the drug dealer. The owner of Medina Transport didn’t know the taxi driver was using the taxi for the crimes, the Task Force reported today.

The following were arrested on Friday:

Reginald A. Kendrick

Reginald A. Kendrick, 40, of 703 Church St., Apt. 2, in Medina was charged with eight counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (Class B felonies), eight counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (Class B felonies), and four counts of conspiracy in the fourth degree (Class E felonies).

Kendrick was arraigned in Ridgeway Town Court by Town Justice Joseph Kujawa. Kendrick was remanded to the Orleans County Jail without bail due to his previous criminal history, the Task Force reported.

Kendrick is to return to Town Court at 6 p.m. on March 3. He also is wanted on a drug charge out of the State of Georgia.

Roy W. Bishop

Roy W. Bishop, 42, of 11345 Main St., in the Town of Shelby was arraigned on three counts of both criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (Class B felonies) and five counts of conspiracy in the fourth degree (Class E felonies).

Bishop works for Medina Transport as a driver. He was using his job to facilitate the drug crimes, said Joseph Sacco, supervising investigator for the Task Force.

Bishop was arraigned by Ridgeway Town Justice Joseph Kujawa and remanded to the county jail on $50,000 bail. Bishop is to return to Town Court at 6 p.m. on March 3.

Further arrests and charges are pending in the investigation, Sacco said.

ALBION – An Albion who was charged with driving while intoxicated on July 25 in Medina was sentenced to 1 to 3 years in state prison today.

John L. Sunday Jr., 46, of Crandall Road registered a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.19 percent, more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent. He has a prior DWI conviction in Ridgeway from Aug. 23, 2010.

Sunday has a criminal record going back to the 1980s, but his attorney Dominic Saraceno said Sunday “has the potential to be a law-abiding citizen.” Sunday went 13 years without an arrest in one stretch, Saraceno said.

He also noted Sunday had been on probation four times before and completed three of his probations without a violation.

Orleans County Court Judge James Punch said Sunday represents a danger to public.

“You were driving very drunk and very erratically,” Punch said this afternoon during sentencing. “I’m afraid you’re going to kill somebody on the streets.”

The judge also fined Sunday $525, revoked his license for a year and required him to install an interlock ignition device in the future that will measure his BAC when he starts a car.

In other cases today:

A Medina man accused of manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine in Orleans County was arraigned on additional charges today.

Joshua L. Miller, 35, of 4706 East Shelby Rd., was arraigned in County Court on Dec. 14 for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine in the third degree, and criminal possession of precursors of methamphetamine.

Today he was arraigned on four counts of both criminal possession and criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree.

Judge Punch increased Miller’s bail from $100,000 to $150,000. Miller has a prior felony and five prior misdemeanors.

A Barre resident on probation after being convicted of first-degree sexual abuse pleaded guilty to violating his probation and could face up to 7 years in state prison.

Joseph A. Smith, 21, of 4750 Oak Orchard Rd. was convicted in Ontario County for first-degree sexual abuse on Nov. 15, 2011. He allegedly had sexual contact with a child less than 11 years old.

He admitted today to violating his probation by leaving the area in a visit to Alabama without notifying probation, consuming alcohol on another occasion, meeting unsupervised with a 17-year-old girl, contacting a 17-year-old girl through social media, and being discharged from a sex offender program for noncompliance due to the drinking violation.

Judge Punch said those represent “substantial violations” to Smith’s probation. Smith will be sentenced on March 28 at 2 p.m.
