Inmate Facing More Charges

An inmate at the Chautauqua Jail is facing more charges after allegedly being found with drugs and then threatening guards Friday night.

Sheriff’s deputies say 19-year-old Joshua Roach of Brocton had 3 Gabapentin pills hidden in a bandage on his arm during a routine search of the jail. During the search, Roach allegedly tried to resist the officers to prevent them from finding the contraband. He also allegedly said he would “swing on the officers.”

This is the third month in a row Roach has been in trouble with law enforcement.

In April he was charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly yelling vulgarities at deputies who were investigating a fight. He also allegedly obstructed traffic throughout the investigation.

Last month, he was charged with harassment for allegedly calling a student at Brocton Central School and threatening the person.
