YORK: Livingston County Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty reports
the arrest of a Mount Morris resident after a report of a Burglary in the Town
of York. On July 11, 2017 at approximately 7:00 a.m., the Livingston County
Sheriff's Office was contacted directly by a local resident in the Town of York
for a Burglary to an attached garage to their house. The homeowners at the
location woke to find numerous items, including alcohol, cigarettes, and
motorcycle accessories, stolen from their garage. Sergeant Chad Draper was one
of the first units to arrive on scene, and while checking the surrounding area
for clues to the thefts, he quickly located the stolen property in question and
identified several potential suspects. Other
Deputy Sheriffs on scene assisted with interviews and evidence collection,
leading to the arrest of 18-year-old Michael W. Flint. Flint was charged with felony Burglary in
the 2nd Degree and Petit Larceny. Flint was turned over to Central Booking
Deputies at the Livingston County Jail for processing and pre-arraignment
detention. The District Attorney's
Office recommended bail of $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond on the matter. Flint was
later arraigned in the Town of Livonia Court before Justice Graf-Linsner. The Judge set bail at $1,500 cash or $3,000
secured bond.
On scene investigating for the Sheriff''s Office along with
Sergeant Draper was Captain Brian Applin who leads the Criminal Investigations
Division, Deputy Marty Herkimer of the Road Patrol Division, and Deputy Bob
Holt of the Forensic Identification Unit.
“Anytime we can solve a serious crime with no known suspects
in under an hour, is a job very well done,” said Sheriff Dougherty. “I commend Sergeant Draper and the assisting
Deputies on scene for their attention to detail and putting in the extra steps
to solve this crime; another great job by your Deputy Sheriffs.”
