State Street

Dog runs under stopped car and refuses to leave

Dispatcher: "You're going to love this one: At State Street and Washington, a couple pulled up to the intersection and stopped at the stop sign. A dog ran out and run under the car and now refuses to come out."

I'm not making this up.

Man facing a lifetime jail sentence doesn't get bail from Judge Noonan

  • State Street

A man with multiple felony convictions who is accused of breaking into a State Street home and stealing several items while an elderly woman slept, won't get out on bail or bond any time soon.

Judge Robert Noonan denied a defense request to release Reginald M. Wilson, of 283 Seneca Manor Drive, Rochester, on $10,000 bond.

Wilson's sister was apparently ready to post bond, using her house as collateral.

"You're asking me to presume that a defendant facing a life-in-prison sentence because he's a persistent felon would care about his sister's $10,000?" Noonan said.

At which point, Wilson sat up straight in his chair and said, "Yes."

"That's a stretch," Noonan said, and Wilson slumped back in his chair.

Noonan noted that Wilson has 30 prior arrests, 12 convictions and 6 felonies on his record.

Two of his convictions led to state prison time, which means a third such felony conviction -- which Wilson is facing now -- means a life sentence.

Two men charged with State Street residential burglary

mug-reginald_wilson.jpgTwo men have been charged with burglary for allegedly breaking into a home on State Street on Sept. 2.

One of the men had been previously arrested and charged with possession of stolen property after he was reportedly caught driving a car stolen from the residence.

mug-dillon_brito.jpgBurglary in the second degree charges were filed against Reginald M. Wilson, 283 Seneca Manor Drive, Rochester, who was reportedly found driving the car, and Dillon M. Brito, 17, of 15 Maple St., Batavia.

The duo allegedly stole jewelry, cash, prescription medications, a clock, liquor, wine and food items. 

The resident was home sleeping at the time of the break-in, according to Det. Pat Corona.

Brito, who is also accused of breaking into a house on Maple Street this week, was taken into custody Wednesday.

Both men are being held without bail.
