Chemung County, NY – Two Elmira residents are in custody today after Chemung County Sheriff’s deputies arrested them as fugitives from justice tied to outstanding warrants in Pennsylvania.
According to the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office, 40-year-old Brian D. Grover and 37-year-old Stephanie L. Grover, both of Elmira, were taken into custody early Monday morning while deputies were assisting New York State Police with a separate warrant-related investigation.
Authorities say the arrests occurred Monday at approximately 10:48 a.m., when deputies located a subject at an address within the City of Elmira. During the encounter, law enforcement allegedly discovered that both individuals had active bench warrants issued out of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, stemming from an original charge of retail theft.
Officials confirmed both Brian and Stephanie Grover were wanted as fugitives from justice by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Deputies arrested the pair without incident at the scene.
Following their arrest, both individuals were processed and arraigned in Elmira City Court, where they were formally charged as fugitives from justice, according to the sheriff’s office. Authorities say the two were then remanded to the Chemung County Jail, where they are currently being held pending extradition proceedings back to Pennsylvania.
No additional charges related to the Elmira incident were announced, and officials did not release further details about the original retail theft allegations in Pennsylvania.
Residents in Chemung County, the Southern Tier, and nearby Elmira metro areas are reminded that arrest information reflects allegations, and all suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
