A Buffalo man was taken into custody by the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office on a bench warrant.
The warrant issued out of Hopewell Town Court was issued after 70-year-old Joseph Adams allegedly failed to appear in court to answer the charge of Offering a False Instrument for Filing.
Adams will appear in Hopewell Town Court at a later date to answer his charges.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
