Citation issued in accident involving Sheriff's personnel

By Howard B. Owens

A Sheriff's Office youth officer involved in an accident on Route 33 in Stafford on Tuesday has been cited for alleged failure to yield the right of way, according to an accident report released by the department.

John Dehm, driving a county-owned 2009 Chevy sedan, was southbound on Mill Road at 4:55 p.m., when he approached a yield sign at Route 33. He said he stopped and checked both ways but did not see a vehicle on Route 33.

His car struck the passenger's side front tire of a 2011 Lincoln SUV, which skidded off the south shoulder and struck a concrete foundation of a demolished building.

The report says that a utility pole near the intersection may have obstructed Dehm's view.

Vicki J. McKeirnan, 62, of Batavia, suffered minor injuries and was transported by private vehicle to UMMC.

Report of motorcyclist down at Ross and East Ave, Batavia

By Howard B. Owens

Dispatchers have received a report of a motorcyclist down in the roadway at Ross Street and East Avenue, Batavia.

City Fire and Mercy EMS responding.

UPDATE 2:40 p.m.: The rider, who was on a  scooter, not a motorcycle, was not injured, but he was taken into custody on suspicion of DWI.  When police arrived on scene, he volunteered, an officer said, that he had never rode a motorcycle or scooter before and did not have an operator's license for a motorcycle. He reportedly told police that his bike was hit from behind, but a witness said there was no car around when he went down. The witness said he failed to negotiate the curve and laid the bike down. A city employee arrived on scene and said just minutes before he had seen the rider "flying down the sidewalk" on a nearby street.  The suspect allegedly refused to get into the back of the police cruiser following his arrest and may face a resisting arrest charge.  The scooter is registered to another person. We would anticipate having the suspects name and specific charges in Monday's Law and Order column.
