Cowburn is due to appear in Wellsville Village Court on January 26th at 4:30 p.m.

"This is a prime
example of the failure of NYS bail reform. Since August, Cowburn has victimized
four different people in the Village of Wellsville alone. In Village Court, he has five pending
misdemeanors, two pending felonies and has been arrested for two DWI related
offenses by other area agencies. Current
NYS law ties the hands of local law enforcement and the municipal justices from
protecting the public."
