A Honeoye man, stopped for a traffic violation in Corfu, is behind bars this morning in lieu of $10,000 bail.
Robert Mann, 48, was stopped yesterday afternoon near the intersection of routes 77 and 33.
Authorities said as the officer was checking Mann’s license, Mann took off on foot and ran into a vacant building on East Main Street.
Other officers joined in the pursuit along with Deputy Chris Erion and K-9 Destro.
Erion said Destro found the suspect on the second floor of the building holding a stick with nails in it.
Eroin ordered Mann to drop the weapon and he was taken into custody without further incident.
Nearby Pembroke Elementary School was placed in lock-down as a precaution.
Mann has been charged with DWI and driving without a license. Police said additional charges are pending.
UPDATE / CORRECTION: We received an e-mail from Pembroke School District Superintendent Matthew Calderon stating that the school principal reported that "...we did not go into any lockdown and children went home at the normal time, 3 p.m. According to the principal, no one contacted the school to make us aware of any incident in Corfu." He added that if a lockdown were ever to occur, he would contact the media.
CLARIFICATION: We just received another e-mail from the superintendent further clarifying the matter. It states:
"I was able to confirm the following: The Sheriffs called and spoke to our Transportation Director at 3:21 p.m. to hold the students. Our students had already dismissed at 3:00, but the Transportation director had the bus driver that transports Village students cease from dropping students off until she received the 'all clear' around 3:50 p.m."
