A Town of Le Roy justice and a retired Genesee County Sheriff's deputy has been arrested by State Police and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and harassment, 2nd.
John R. Duyssen, also a former Town of Le Roy board member, is accused of striking a 9-year-old child. The child reportedly suffered an injury.
Child Protective Services notified the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations, which opened an investigation.
The timeframe of the alleged incident was not released, nor are State Police releasing details around the incident in order to try and avoid identifying the victim.
Duyssen was arraigned in Bergen Town Court and released on his own recognizance. An order of protection was issued. He's scheduled to appear in Le Roy Town Court later this month.
