On August 20th, 2020, at around 6:20pm, a Deputy with the
Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office was patrolling westbound on Clinton Street Road
(State Route 354), in the Town of Bennington, when a violation of the vehicle
and traffic law was observed. Following a vehicle and traffic enforcement stop
on the vehicle, the driver was identified as Rebecca L. Bischoff (33, of
Bennington). The Deputy performed a data
check on Bischoff’s license which showed she was suspended for failure to pay
child support. A search of the vehicle also revealed Bischoff possessed several
different controlled substances. Bischoff was then asked to perform Standardized
Field Sobriety tests, which she performed poorly and was placed under arrest
for DWAI Drugs. Bischoff was transported to the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office
where she submitted to a drug influence evaluation conducted by a NYS Certified
Drug Recognition Expert. Following the evaluation, it was determined that
Bischoff was under the influence of several different drugs and could not
operate a motor vehicle safely. Bischoff
was charged with DWAI Drugs, DWAI Drugs Combo, Aggravated Unlicensed Operation
3rd Degree and three counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance
7th Degree. Bischoff was released on appearance tickets and is scheduled to
appear in the Town of Bennington Court at a later date.
