Geneseo, NY – A Steuben County man was arrested after a traffic stop in Geneseo led to the discovery of multiple alleged offenses, including felony weapon possession.
According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, the arrest happened Friday around 12:01 p.m. when Sheriff’s Sergeant Mike Donals pulled over a vehicle in the Village of Geneseo for a traffic violation. Deputies identified the driver as 31-year-old Zachary Allen of Arkport, New York.
Investigators said Allen was allegedly operating the vehicle with a suspended driver’s license. During the stop, deputies reported finding brass knuckles inside the vehicle. Allen was arrested by Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Hilt and charged with felony criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, misdemeanor aggravated unlicensed operation in the second degree, and multiple violations of New York’s Vehicle and Traffic Law.
Allen was transported to the Livingston County Jail and processed before being arraigned in front of Geneseo Justice Durbin. Court records show a judge released him on his own recognizance under the state’s bail reform laws, which do not allow bail for the listed offenses.
The Livingston County Public Defender’s Office represented Allen during his arraignment, while the Livingston County District Attorney’s Office was present for the prosecution.
