Sheriff Gary Maha helped corral an alleged ice cream thief this afternoon.
Following a report of a theft of $7.27 in ice cream from the Arrow Mart on Clinton Street in the Town of Batavia, Maha spotted the suspect vehicle, a Chevy Venture, heading east on I-490.
Maha, driving an unmarked car, confirmed the description with dispatch and then stayed behind the suspect vehicle until it was intercepted by a State Trooper in North Chili.
Charged with petit larceny was Louis Edward Gary, 19, of Hopkins Street, Mount Morris.
Following the traffic stop in North Chili, Gary was brought back to Batavia where he was issued an appearance ticket.

Still not following the
Still not following the logic.
You see a suspected criminal, no matter what the crime, you try to apprehend the suspect. Period.
Any officer the law who didn't follow that simple, basic procedure, and the public found out, would be criticized.
If you don't see the suspect, well, then, what the hell are you supposed to about that?
The only thing you can do is try to gather all of the information you can through your investigation and hopefully ID and find the suspect. Which is what is happening in the bank robbery case.
There's no connection between the two incidents, and you know, just because somebody robs a bank, doesn't mean the police can catch them right away. It's rather ludicrous to expect otherwise.
