City police: New station hours (plus this week's charges)

By Philip Anselmo

Starting on September 1, the Batavia police station at 10 W. Main St. will only be open to the public from 8:30am to 4:30pm. A desk clerk will be on hand during those hours. A call box will be set up outside the station to contact dispatch at the Genesee County Sheriff's Office on Park Road. City police has also opened a new non-emergency number and for contacting police personnel: (585) 345-6444.


Derrick G. Ryzner, 19, of Pennsylvania, was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana Tuesday, Genesee County sheriff's deputies said. Deputies had responded to a suspicious vehicle complaint when they allegedly found the drugs in Ryzner's vehicle.


A couple's complaint about a stolen bank card and an account robbed of its funds led to charges against the couple themselves, Genesee County sheriff's deputies said. Twenty-five-year-old Jennifer and 23-year-old Christopher Cummings, both of Pavilion, were charged with third-degree falsely reporting an incident. After reporting the theft of bank card and money, deputies discovered that the two had allegedly taken their own money out of the bank and reported it stolen.

This reminds me of the tv episode of "the simpsons" , when Homer picked up the phone and asked the operator,
" QUICK ! GIVE ME THE NUMBER FOR 911 " !

During off hours, there will be a phone inside a locking door at the police station. That phone will connect you directly to the 911 center. There will also be a camera that will show the dispatchers at the 911 center what is going on in that doorway. If you need additional help the county jail is right across the parking lot. The station is open during the day so that people can get reports and various other things they need.
