WELLSVILLE – Founded in 1992 by Steve Havey, then manager of the Wellsville Kmart store, the local Shop With a Cop program was a popular holiday tradition, brightening the season for disadvantaged children while giving them a positive interaction with law enforcement. In fact, Havey notes, “through the 26 years that Shop With A Cop was a physical presence at Christmas time, over 2,500 at-risk kids had the experience of a better Christmas and a new friend in uniform.”

The Alfred Police Department came under fire Thursday, but it wasn’t intentional. Police Chief Paul Griffith was leaving the station Thursday afternoon when he noticed an arrow had been fired and struck the Department’s Sally port. A quick investigation led them to an Alfred University student who allegedly admitted to firing the wayward sticking device. 21-year-old Louis Shengulette of Webster was arrested and charged with two misdemeanor counts…reckless
endangerment and criminal mischief. Chief Griffith said “it wasn’t an intentional strike, but it was reckless.”<!–[if supportFields]><![endif]–> Shengulette wasn’t immediately hauled before a judge, but rather Griffith said, he will appear in court at a later date. The Chief said police in Alfred deal with a variety of cases but, he said, “this caught my attention.”
