Gina M. Kalish, 41, or Rochester, was stopped by a Border Patrol agent while driving on I-490 through Bergen Monday night after the agent reportedly observed her vehicle moving erratically on the freeway. Upon further investigation by a Sheriff's deputy, the deputy arrested Kalish for allegedly operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs.
Laurie J. Lerkins, 32, of LeRoy, was arrested Monday for allegedly biting a child on the arm and throwing items at him. Lerkins is charged with harassment in the second degree and endangering the welfare of a child. Det. John Gondidorio said the charges stemmed from a January investigation after the 10-year-old child, a relation of Lerkins, developed bruises above his arm and on his head. Det. Gondidorio said, "During the investigation it was alleged that Lerkins, during the course of a disturbance with the child, bit the child on the arm causing a bruised bite mark and also threw items at him striking him in the head, bruising his head." Lerkins was arraigned in LeRoy Town Court and released on her own recognizance.
