By Philip Anselmo

A local groom spent his honeymoon in jail this weekend. Forty-five-year-old Timothy T. Cole, of 16 Walnut St., Batavia, was charged with a felony count of first-degree criminal contempt Friday night following his wedding, city police said. Police responded to a report of a domestic dispute and allegedly found that Cole had married "the very same person that he was barred from going near." He was sent to Genesee County Jail without bail.


Jamie M. McGiveron, 32, of Akron, was charged with felony driving while intoxicated following a crash in the town of Pembroke Saturday afternoon, Genesee County sheriff's deputies said.

McGiveron was sent to Genesee County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bail. He was also ticketed with failure to keep right, driving left of pavement parkings and moving from the lane unsafely.
