PRESS RELEASE
LIVONIA: Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty reports the arrest of a
Dansville man on felony charges after a traffic stop by a Deputy Sheriff.
On April 12 at approximately 11:10 p.m., Deputy Connor
Sanford was assigned to the STOP DWI Unit when he stopped a vehicle on East
Lake Road in the Town of Livonia for a violation of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic
Law.
The operator of the vehicle was identified as 49-year- old
James L. Casey. The Deputy Sheriff suspected that Casey was under the influence
of alcohol and conducted a DWI investigation. At the conclusion of the roadside
investigation, Casey was taken into custody for DWI.
A records check revealed that Casey was operating with a
revoked driver’s license and it was revoked for a previous DWI related
conviction in 2013. Casey was charged with felony Driving While Intoxicated and
felony Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the 1st Degree.
The DWI and AUO charges are felonies due to the DWI related conviction being
within the previous ten years. Casey was offered a breathalyzer test at Central
Booking but he allegedly refused to submit to one. Casey was later arraigned at
the Livingston County Centralized Arraignment Part (LC-CAP) at the Livingston
County Jail before Town of Geneseo Justice Kathleen Houston. The Judge remanded
Casey to the custody of the Sheriff without bail.
