• HARASSMENT: Anthony J. Cescon, 17, of Lockport, was charged Monday at Lockport High School with second-degree harassment, disorderly conduct, obstruction of government administration and resisting arrest. School Resource Officer Scot Snaith reportedly tried to serve the suspect an appearance ticket for disorderly conduct for an incident Sept. 29 at LHS. Upon receiving the ticket, Cescon walked back into his classroom, crumpled up the ticket and threw it on his desk while yelling vulgar phrases, according to the report. The SRO attempted to explain the reason for the ticket, but the suspect refused to listen and bumped Snaith in his chest, the report said. Cescon was advised that he was under arrest for harassment and he reportedly refused to put his hands behind his back. The Lockport Police Department was called for backup, and Cescon was pepper sprayed to gain compliance, according to the report. On the same day, Cescon was charged with harassment after he reportedly refused to leave the school after threatening another schoolmate.

• ASSAULT: Edlaus L. New, 39, 429 Newburgh Street, Buffalo, was charged with third-degree burglary and assault. The victim stated to police that while she was sleeping, she heard a knock on the back door of her residence. Before opening the door, she lifted up the shade to see who it was. When she saw it was a relative, she put the shade back down and walked away without letting New in. She immediately called 911 and while on the phone, she heard a loud bang and saw New kick open the door and run at her, according to the report. The suspect grabbed the victim by the neck and ran her into the wall, where she then fell to the ground, the report said. The victim’s roommate witnessed the incident and called 911 again, but by the time she got to the phone, the suspect had already left. On Tuesday, New was stopped for a reported traffic violation and the police found he was wanted on an active warrant from the City of Newfane.

• BURGLARY: A Ewings Road man reported Tuesday that $120 worth of beer cans were stolen off his back porch. There is no suspect at this time, and there were negative results upon checking with Tops and Quality for the beer cans.
