Information from a provided press release
Chief Michael J. Grover reports the arrest of a Perry resident following a Petit Larceny complaint, harassment complaint and a violation of an order of protection on Borden Avenue in the Village of Perry
On October 13, 2024, at or around 5:00pm, Perry Police officers were called to an address on Borden Avenue in the Village of Perry, for a report of an individual who was allegedly pounding on the front door of the apartment and was trying to gain access.
This individual was identified as Eric R. Swede, a resident of the Village of Perry. Swede was arrested at the same address earlier that afternoon on a petit larceny charge and a harassment charge that resulted in an order of protection being placed against him protecting the individuals at that address.
When Officers arrived, Swede was located in a vehicle in the driveway of the same address and was arrested and charged with Criminal Contempt second degree, a class A misdemeanor in the State of New York, which is a qualified offense for violating an order of protection.
Subsequently, because the current charge of Criminal Contempt second degree is within five years of a
previous conviction of the same charge from the City of Batavia, Swede was additionally charged with an
Aggravated Family Offense, a class E felony in the State of New York, which is a qualified offense with no bail.
Swede was arraigned in the Village of Perry Court before the Honorable Judge Wolcott and remanded to the Wyoming Couty Jail with no bail until his next court date.
