Jamestown, NY (WNY News Now) – Jamestown police officers responded to a precarious situation as a male clung to the roof of a moving vehicle driven by a female resident. The incident escalated from a domestic dispute, involving endangered children and a broken necklace, culminating in charges of reckless endangerment and child welfare violations.
On August 12, 2023, at approximately 3:19 PM Jamestown Police Department responded to reports of an alarming scene on the east side of the city. Witnesses alerted authorities to a male individual perched on the roof of a moving vehicle driven by Rochelle A. Leak Brown, 28, of Jamestown.
