Le Roy mother facing new criminal charges, accused of burglary

By Howard B. Owens

A Le Roy woman, already facing a pot growing charge, has been arrested again on an unrelated burglary charge.

Sara E. Schimley, 23, is accused of unlawfully entering or remaining in the apartment of an acquaintance between April 1 and May 24 and brandishing a crowbar and putty knife.

She was arrested by Le Roy PD on charges of first degree burglary, a Class B felony, and criminal possession of a weapon, 3rd.

Nearly two weeks ago, Schimley's apartment on East Main in Le Roy was raided by members of the Local Drug Enforcement Task Force and Schimley was charged with unlawful growing of cannabis, a Class A misdemeanor, and unlawful possession of marijuana.

Also charged a few days later was 33-year-old Michael J. Penvose.

Schimley and Penvose have a young daughter together and Penvose made news in April when he was accused of stealing a thermometer from Le Roy's Dollar General store. After sharing with police that he was concerned about the health of his infant child, a Le Roy PD officer purchased the thermometer for him.

Schimley was arraigned in Le Roy Town Court on the new charges and released under supervision of Genesee Justice.
