Jamestown Police Charge Two as Fugitives from Justice

The Jamestown Police Department charged two city residents this past week with being fugitives from justice. On Wednesday, officers were patrolling the area of Stowe Street and Buffalo Street shortly after 7:30 AM, when they saw 27-year-old Kaylee Keech, who had a known warrant from the Warren County Sheriff's Office in Pennsylvania for retail theft. They tried to detain Keech while the warrant could be confirmed, but she allegedly refused verbal commands and was taken into custody after a brief struggle. Keech was taken to the Jamestown City Jail and charged with 2nd-degree obstruction, in addition to being a fugitive from justice. She was later remanded to the Chautauqua County Jail pending extradition proceedings. Then on Thursday, officers determined that 27-year-old Tarice Echevarria, who was already being held in the Jamestown City Jail for failing to appear in court, was also wanted by the Warren County Sheriff's Office for theft by unlawful taking.

DEC Announces Temporary Road Closure in Boutwell Hill State Forest

The New York State DEC this week announced the temporary closure of a section of Arab Hill Forest Road at Boutwell Hill State Forest in Chautauqua County. This closure is necessary to accommodate a road maintenance project that will rehabilitate the northern section of that road. The DEC says contractors installed fresh gravel on a section of Arab Hill Forest Road that runs north from Housington Road to where it meets Lewis Road. The gravel needs time to settle and compact to ensure its viability for the future.?This section experiences heavy use during the hunting season and opening it to vehicular traffic immediately would result in rutting and likely compromise the road’s foundation, negating the recent repairs. The road is expected to remain closed to vehicular traffic until June 1, 2027. The roadways and trails will remain open to recreational use, including for hiking, horseback riding and bike riding for the remainder of the fall season and then winter activities when conditions allow.
