By Howard B. Owens

Tovia Poles, 24, of 77 W. Main St., Le Roy, is charged with grand larceny, 4th. Poles is accused of finding a wallet and rather than turn it into police, kept the wallet, destroyed the contents and then used the wallet herself. The person who lost the wallet reportedly left it on top of her car and then drove off from a parking spot on West Main Street, in the Village of Le Roy. The wallet fell to the ground at that location. The wallet contained personal identification, a credit car, a driver's license and a checkbook.

Chad Edward Merle, 31, of Broadway Road, Alexander, is charged with violation of a Family Court act. Merle was picked up on a Family Court warrant.
