On July 23rd 2026, deputies were called to the area of Genesee Road in the Town of Eagle, for the report of a female possibly operating a motor vehicle under the influence, with a child in the car.
Deputies observed the suspect vehicle traveling eastbound on Genesee Road and conducted a traffic stop. During the stop, the vehicle operator, Christina R. Heidt, 37, of Eagle, NY, was asked to step away from the vehicle to submit to field sobriety testing.
