Information from a provided press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 24th, 2026, the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a burglary that occurred at
Lamb Farms in the Town of Oakfield. The responding deputy found that 17 Holstien heifer calves were
taken overnight from an open barn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the efforts of the Genesee County Criminal Investigations Division, the suspect in the burglary were identified as Torrence A. Schmitt, 25, and Kerisa J. Schmitt, 26, of Lockport, NY.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheriffs Office Investigators sought and were granted arrest warrants for the arrest of Torence and Kerisa
Schmitt. On June 3rd, 2026, with the assistance of the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office, both individuals
were located in Jamestown, NY. Genesee County Sheriff’s Office deputies took custody of Torrence and
Kerisa Schmitt and transported them to the Genesee County Jail for arraignment.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 4th, 2026, Torrence and Kerisa appeared in Genesee County CAP Court, in Batavia, NY.
They have been charged with:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burglary 3rd degree (D Felony)
Grand Larceny 3rd degree (D Felony)
o the aggregate value of the stolen calves was found to be over $41,000
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tampering with Evidence (E Felony)
o It is alleged that the Schmitt’s removed the identification tags of 16 calves, believing the same
would be used as evidence against them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falsifying Business Records 1st Degree (E Felony)
o It is alleged that the identification tags of the calves, serving as business records for the
accountability and inventory of Lamb Farms livestock, and destruction thereof, served to conceal
the commission of the burglary and grand larceny.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torrence and Kerisa were released under the supervision of Genesee Justice and are scheduled to appear in
Genesee County Court at an undetermined date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
