A man accused of assaulting and stealing three guns from a Byron resident last week has a chance to make bail despite a lengthy criminal history.
Judge Robert C. Noonan, after saying he would have set bail higher had the prosecution request a higher bail, said Darrell Bruce Reid, 45, of 4 N. Main St., Holley, can get out of jail if he can come up with $50,000 cash or bond.
"I don’t think I’ve ever had anybody in who’s been arrested over 100 times before," Noonan said.
Reid is accused of hitting a Byron resident at 3:30 a.m., April 24, and stealing three long guns. The victim reportedly had only met Reid recently. He was hospitalized with a broken nose and cuts.
According to attorney William Tedford, from the public defenders office, Reid has spent most of his life in Western New York, except for three years in South Dakota. He has a child living in Chili and a mother, who has breast cancer, living in Rochester. Tedford said Reid was the only child living in the region who could help care for his mother.
Tedford asked for $15,000 bail.
District Attorney Kevin Finnell asked for $50,000 after stating that Reid had two prior parole and two prior probation revocations.
Reid is charged with with robbery, 2nd, assault, 2nd, and three counts of grand larceny.
