Avon: Livingston
County Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty reports the arrest of an Almond woman
following a traffic stop. On December 9, 2017 at approximately 12:10 a.m.,
Deputy Shawn Whitford stopped a vehicle on Lakeville Road in the Town of Avon
for a vehicle and traffic law violation.
During the course of the traffic stop, the Deputy found that a passenger
in the vehicle, 38-year-old Amber L. Gray, was allegedly in possession of
numerous items of drug paraphernalia, some of which were a digital scale and
glassine baggies.
Gray was placed under arrest for two counts of criminal
possession of drug paraphernalia. The deputy
allegedly had further reason to believe that Gray may be concealing further
items on her person. Central Booking
Deputies at the Livingston County Jail were alerted when Gray was turned over
for processing and pre-arraignment detention.
Deputies discovered that Gray was in fact, allegedly, concealing
two devices commonly use to smoke narcotics on her person. This resulted in Gray receiving an additional
felony charge for promoting prison contraband in the 1st degree.
The District Attorney's Office recommended bail of $5,000
cash or $10,000 bond.
Gray was later arraigned in the Town of Geneseo Court before
Justice Houston who remanded her to the custody of the Sheriff on $500 cash or
$1,000 bond. Assisting Deputy Whitford
with the traffic stop was Deputy Brandan Flickner.
