Steuben man jailed on Meth charges


An investigation into a domestic dispute that occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. on March 17 has resulted in meth-related charges against a Dansville man.  Troopers assigned to the Wayland and N. Hornell barracks were initially dispatched to a private residence on Oak Hill Road in the Town of Dansville, and in conjunction with that investigation, conducted a vehicle stop on St. Rt. #36, also in the Town of Dansville.  The operator of the vehicle, Thomas J. Jacobs, Jr., age 39, of 10528 Oak Hill Rd., Dansville, N.Y., who’s driving privileges had previously been suspended, was allegedly found to be in possession of lab equipment, precursors, chemical reagents, and/or solvents – all of which are commonly used in the production of methamphetamine. Jacobs was charged with Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine, 3rd degree (class “D” felony), as well as Vehicle & Traffic Law charges.  He was subsequently arraigned in the Town of Dansville Court and remanded to the Steuben Co. Jail without bail.  He is scheduled to reappear in the Town of Dansville Court at a later date.
