Brandon R. Fogg, 32, who pulled a fake BB gun out during a tussle with Batavia Police Officer Darryle Streeter in June, showed up late to Genesee County Court this morning, shortly after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

The Batavia resident pled guilty to first-degree menacing, a Class E felony, in Genesee County Court on June 21.

Fogg admitted then he intentionally put a person, Batavia Police Officer Darryle Streeter, in danger by displaying a black imitation BB pistol during an altercation with Officer Streeter on Ellicott Street near Cedar Street about 12:30 a.m. on June 5.

Officer Streeter had observed Fogg in the passenger seat of the vehicle being operated with an illegal tire and conducted a traffic stop as Fogg was wanted in a trespassing incident.

During the stop, Fogg attempted to flee from Officer Streeter.

Officer Streeter was able to take Fogg to the ground, where he began to fight with Officer Streeter.

Fogg pulled a BB pistol from his pocket and tried to turn it toward Officer Streeter. An employee of a local business observed the struggle and was able to step on Fogg's wrist, which made him lose his grip on the imitation gun. Officer Streeter was subsequently able to take Fogg into custody.

For the second time this month, Fogg’s sentencing was delayed so he could participate in a substance abuse program at the GCASA -- Atwater House.

GCASA – Atwater Home provides a structured, chemical-free environment for men and women in recovery from drug and/or alcohol addiction and is located on East Main Street in the city.

On Aug. 1st, Judge Charles Zambito delayed sentencing and allowed Fogg to participate in a 21-day drug treatment program in Bradford, Pa.

Fogg was being held at the Genesee County Jail without bail, he was released under supervision to his mother on Aug. 1st.

According to Fogg’s public defender, Jamie Welch, Fogg completed the program in Bradford on Aug. 22 and was discharged. He has since been staying at a halfway house at the Atwater House.

Fogg was scheduled to appear in Genesee County Court for sentencing this morning (Aug. 26), but Fogg was not in court at the appointed time and Welch did not know his whereabouts. Judge Zambito then issued a warrant for his arrest.

After showing up at 10 a.m., Judge Zambito recalled the warrant and the case proceeded.

After the case was recalled, Welch requested a two-month adjournment on sentencing to see how Fogg does in the program. He told Judge Zambito he was hoping for a sentence of five years probation.

Judge Zambito agreed to the two-month adjournment and requested reports from the program at Atwater House.

“I would like to know as soon as he is finished or if he was terminated from the program,” said Judge Zambito.

Zambito then warned Fogg if he was terminated from the program a warrant for his arrest would be issued.

“Considering the seriousness of the offense, there are no promises from me, you are working towards avoiding a state prison sentence.”

Fogg is scheduled to appear for sentencing at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 30.

The Genesee County Sheriff's Office investigated a report of a motor vehicle struck by a train at 12:29 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 25.

The incident occurred on the railroad tracks between Depot Street and Water Street in the Village of Corfu and was reported to the Genesee County Emergency Dispatch Center.

Upon arrival, patrols observed a CSX freight train stopped on the railroad tracks that appeared to be traveling west. A black 2015 GMC Sierra pickup truck was also observed on the railroad tracks with damage to the rear of the truck.

It appeared that the GMC attempted to cross over the tracks and bottomed out, coming to a rest on the north railroad track. That is when the CSX freight train struck the rear of the truck, pushing it off the tracks.

The GMC did not appear to be occupied; however the occupants were reported to have fled the scene by witnesses. No injuries were sustained or reported as a result of the incident.

After further investigation, Brendan M. Kotarski, 27, of Oak Street in Oakfield, and a female passenger were located and found to be the sole occupants of the 2015 GMC Sierra.

Kotarski was later identified as the operator and was administered standard field sobriety tests. Kotarski was allegedly found to be intoxicated and was charged with: driving while intoxicated; DWI with a BAC of .08 percent or more; reckless driving; leaving the scene of a property damage accident; and reckless endangerment in the second degree.

He was released and scheduled to appear in Corfu Village Court on Sept. 9.

The incident was investigated by Corfu Police Officer Kevin Koscielniak, Officer Peter Scanio and members of the CSX Railroad Police Department. Assistance at the scene was given by Genesee County Sheriff's Sgt. Andrew Hale, Deputy Erik Andre, Deputy Kenneth Quackenbush, and Deputy David Moore, along with members of the Corfu Fire Department.

Batavia Downs had its annual “Family Fun Day” this afternoon, with the highlight being the Wiener Dog races.

Eighty dogs had entered for 10 heats with one final race, that was again this year, a photo finish.

Dallas owned by Kristy Hody (Dallas is pictured below) came from behind and won the Dachshund Dash by a nose in a near three-way tie. 

Dallas is a first-time winner of the race. He had a little light trainng in the days preceding the event and is seen here with his favorite treat, a carrot.

Apparently Dallas’s athletic training regiment will not allow for him to have a higher calorie snack even after a victory. 

There was also face painting, games, magic, and pony rides for the kids during the normal Sunday harness racing meet.
