Several arraigned in County Court, including Clarendon man who had confrontation with police
3 inmates face charges for either assaulting or harassing correction officers
ALBION – Several people were arraigned in Orleans County Court on Thursday for felonies, including a Clarendon man who had a confrontation with law enforcement officers on Sept. 27.
Andrew Klaver, 18, allegedly pointed a loaded rifle at a deputy and sergeant with the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office before dropping the gun. Deputies were called to his residence on Bennetts Corners Road in Holley for reports of a family dispute. One family member was allegedly ramming a boyfriend’s car with her car. Her mother allegedly began pushing deputies.
Andrew D. Klaver allegedly ran back into the house then came back out with a loaded rifle and allegedly pointed it at two members of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office. Klaver dropped the rifle moments later but refused to comply with further orders and was taken into custody following deployment of the Taser, Undersheriff Chris Bourke said in a news release on Sept. 28.
Klaver was arraigned on charges of two counts of menacing a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon and resisting arrest. Bail was set at $10,000 by Judge Sanford Church.
The charges with the two other family members are misdemeanors and are being handled in Clarendon Town Court.

“Follow through and do it,” the judge told him. “It’s on you.”
