Man arrested for allegedly firing gun into residence in Le Roy

By Howard B. Owens

A Village of Le Roy resident was arrested early this morning after a brief overnight investigation into a report of a gun being fired into a residence at 36 E. Main St., Le Roy, at 12:05 a.m.

Taken into custody and held on $5,000 bail is Travis J. Hubbard, 21, of Clay Street.

It's not clear why Hubbard fired the gun, described as a shotgun, into the apartment. The circumstances that prompted the incident remain under investigation.

Hubbard was charged with reckless endangerment, 2nd, criminal mischief, 4th, and unlawful possession of marijuana.

The suspect allegedly broke the front door window of the victim's apartment and discharged the shotgun into the stairwell.

He breaks a window of an apartment at midnight, blasts a shotgun into the residence not knowing who he might possibly kill and his bail is only $5K?

Who is he related to and who does he know that kept his bail so low and kept him from being charged with attempted murder? What about illegally discharging a firearm within village limits and "forcible entry" burglary?

Something is not making any sense with the minimal charges lodged against this guy. Reckless endangerment, 2nd is only a misdemeanor as is criminal mischief, 4th.

Shouldn't shoving a shotgun through a broken window in the middle of the night and blindly discharging it into a residence constitute a felony charge somewhere?
