By Howard B. Owens

Lennie M. Colley, 46, of South Lyon Street, Batavia, is charged with a felony count of criminal mischief, 3rd, DWI, driving with a BAC of .08 or greater and consumption of a alcohol in a motor vehicle. Colley is accused of smashing out windows of motor vehicles at about 2:40 a.m., today, on Route 5 in Stafford. Deputy James Diehl and Sgt. Brian Frieday responded to the call and found Colley allegedly driving drunk.

Lee Ann Marchese, 51, of Alleghany Road, Alabama, is charged iwth burglary 2nd. Marchese is accused of entering a dwelling in Stafford on Tuesday and stealing property.

Dimitri Carmelo Burton, 19, of East Main Street, Batavia, is charged with petit larceny. Burton is accused of shoplifting from the AT&T store on Veterans Memorial Drive. Burton was jailed on $250 bail.

Another example of inequity in our justice system (bail). Accusation of Petit larceny = $250 bail. Accusation of sexual abuse of a 2 year old = release to Genesee Justice.

I know nothing about Burton's criminal history. It's quite possible he has a history of not showing up for court. I don't know, but that would be one element that goes into setting bail, weighing far more heavily than the nature of the alleged crime.
