Porter

• ASSAULT: Deputies responded to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center about 3:30 p.m. Sunday to interview the victim of an apparent assault. An Orchard Drive, Lewiston, man told deputies he had gone to a home on Youngstown-Lockport Road because he was concerned about a depressed friend. The friend’s stepfather reportedly punched the man in the face because he did not want him around his stepson. The victim suffered swelling to his lip and cheek area and a deep cut inside his mouth, the report said.

Wheatfield

• DWI: Gregory Robert LaCount, 31, 520 Pine Sun Lane, Virginia Beach, Va., was charged early Wednesday with driving while intoxicated, failure to use designated lane and failure to obey a traffic signal. Deputies were alerted to a possible drunk driver on Niagara Falls Boulevard. As a deputy was responding to the scene, LaCount allegedly drove by and crossed the center lane, causing the deputy to change lanes to avoid a collision. Deputies stopped LaCount’s car and noticed a strong smell of alcoholic beverage on his breath, the report said. LaCount reportedly passed two field sobriety tests but failed two additional tests. He allegedly registered a 0.25 percent blood alcohol content on a breath test. He was held in lieu of $250 bail and is due Tuesday in Wheatfield Town Court.
