Two people arrested in dispute that involved a gunshot at home in Le Roy

By Howard B. Owens

The Sheriff's Office has announced two arrests in connection with an incident Nov. 10 that led deputies and troopers responding to a house on Asbury Road, Le Roy, with lights and sirens after dispatchers were told a shot had been fired.

Steven A. Myers, 46, of Asbury Road, Le Roy, is charged with criminal mischief, 3rd, for allegedly shooting the phone of 17-year-old Brandon N. Benz, of Clinton Street Road, Batavia.

Myers reportedly came home and discovered Benz at the Asbury Road residence. He is accused of shooting a phone belonging to Benz.

Benz has been charged with sexual abuse, 2nd, and endangering the welfare of a child, both misdemeanors.

Nobody was injured in the incident.

The case was investigated by Deputy Bradley Mazur, Deputy Brian Thompson, Trooper Paula Caton and Investigator Roger Stone.

LOL While I'm sure this story has alot more detail that are not laughable I have to point out.....

How many of us in our late 30's to early 50's have not entertained the fantasy of taking a 17 yr old's cell phone or ipad or whatever and shooting it.

Judging from the charges the 17 yr old recieved it looks like a throwback to old time discipline.

I didn't know it was cell phone season.....are bragging rights based on processor size or base cost?
