MEDINA – On September 5, the Medina Police Department took a complaint from Emily E. Niersberger, age 24, and Christian A. Cooper, age 28.
Both stated that while walking with their 14-month-old child who was seated in a stroller an individual came up to them, assaulted Christian and then assaulted the child, resulting in injury to the child.
As officers began their investigation officers noticed slight differences in the account of Cooper and Niersberger’s description of the event. Further Investigation revealed that the stated suspect in this case was not in New York State at the time of the alleged occurrence.
The child who was treated at Golisano Children’s Hospital in Buffalo for minor injuries and was placed in a safe environment by Orleans County CPS during this investigation. As officers investigated this incident and compiled evidence it became clear that this explanation of the child’s injuries was clearly false.
Continued investigation revealed that Christian Cooper allegedly struck the child himself resulting in the child’s injuries and that Emily Niersberger conspired with Cooper in an attempt to conceal some of the details as to how the child was injured.
Christian Cooper was arrested on October 18 and transported to the Orleans County Jail for CAP Court arraignment.
He has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, class A misdemeanor; assault in the second-degree class D felony; forgery in the second-degree, class D felony; criminal contempt in the first-degree, class E felony; making a false written statement, class A misdemeanor.

MEDINA – A Bronx man has been charged in the armed robbery on Tuesday morning at the Family Dollar in Medina at 11322 Maple Ridge Rd.
Antonio Mclemoore, 58, of Bronx has been charged with two counts of attempted robbery in the first-degree, Class C felonies; one count of menacing in the second-degree, Class A misdemeanor; and one count of assault in third-degree class A misdemeanor.
Medina Police Chief Corey Black said Mclemoore entered the Family Dollar and asked the female clerk about purchasing a lighter. The clerk selected a lighter from behind the counter and when the clerk turned back around the suspect displayed a handgun and demanded property.
Mclemoore then came behind the counter pressing the gun to the clerk’s back and then ultimately the back of her head in an attempt to further the robbery attempt.
“Despite struggling with the suspect, the clerk was able to activate the store’s silent holdup alarm before being violently thrown to the floor by the suspect,” Black said. “The suspect then fled empty-handed.”
At 8:33 a.m. on Tuesday, the Orleans County Dispatch received a silent holdup alarm activation from the Family Dollar. As Medina police officers were responding, Orleans County dispatch advised that a 911 call came in reporting the store had been robbed at gunpoint and gave a suspect description and suspect vehicle description and direction of travel, said Corey Black, Medina police chief.
Medina officers arrived on scene and were able to obtain additional information to include a partial license plate and clothing description. Within approximately 30 minutes of the initial call, an investigator with the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department was able to locate the suspect vehicle by use of a Flock camera in Orleans County. It showed the vehicle traveling south on Route 63 toward Genesee County, Black stated in a press release.
Additionally, the investigator was also able to verify a complete license plate number which returned to a Bronx NY address. This information was relayed to Genesee County dispatch and within a short period of time, officers at Family Dollar were advised that the suspect vehicle had been observed in the City of Batavia on both Flock cameras and City of Batavia cameras, Black said.
“As a result of that information City of Batavia Police Officers patrolling the area of the suspect’s last known whereabouts were able to locate the suspect vehicle,” Black said. “As Batavia Police were preparing to attempt a traffic stop the suspect fled and a short pursuit ensued with the suspect ultimately failing to obey a traffic control device and striking a vehicle in an intersection.”
Mclemoore initially refused commands to exit the vehicle. City of Batavia officers were ultimately able to get the suspect to exit his vehicle, and the suspect was taken into custody and transported via ambulance to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
Mclemoore has since been transported to the Orleans County Jail to await arraignment on the above charges in Orleans County CAP Court.
“This investigation came to a successful conclusion as a direct result of multiple law enforcement agencies working together seamlessly utilizing current technology to include Flock cameras,” Black said. “Less than two hours after an armed robbery attempt in the Village of Medina the suspect with an address in Bronx NY was apprehended in an adjoining county.”
The Medina Police Department would like to thank the following agencies for their assistance in this case: Orleans County Sheriff’s Department to include Dispatch, New York State Police, Orleans County District Attorney’s Office and Major Felony Crime Task Force, Albion Police Department, Genesee County Sheriff’s Department and City of Batavia Police Department.
