Perry Police arrest woman for allowing her child to eat cannabis brownie
PERRY, N.Y. (WROC) – A Perry man was arrested after officers with the Perry Police Department received reports of a domestic incident in Perry on Covington Street last month. Officers say the incident took place during a party between 44-year-old Bobbie Ellis, 444, a man, and a child the two have in common. During the investigation, officers say Ellis provided and allowed her child, who's a minor, to consume a cannabis brownie and that Ellis was growing her own cannabis and 'had more plants than what is allowed by New York State Law governing the private ownership, cultivating, and harvesting of cannabis for private consumption.' Officers say when Ellis arrived to Perry Village Court for another matter on June 10, she was taken into custody and charged with endangering the welfare of a child for providing and allowing her child to consume a cannabis brownie. Officers also charged Ellis with cultivating more than six mature cannabis plants and six immature cannabis plants for a total of 12 plants. While investigating officers learned Ellis was in possession of 21 immature cannabis plants which were seized and disposed of by the Perry Police Department. Ellis was processed by Perry Police and returned to Perry Village Court where she was arraigned and released on her own recognizance. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

‘Take action:' Lifespan highlights World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Friday marks World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which is aimed at raising awareness and taking action to prevent elder abuse and neglect. Lifespan of Greater Rochester president and CEO Ann Marie Cook announced Friday the nonprofit has achieved nearly $7 million, across upstate New York, in court-ordered restitution for victims of financial exploitation, which is recognized as the most common form of elder abuse. In 2012, Lifespan introduced working teams made up of members of law enforcement, forensic and financial experts, district attorneys, and health care says much of their latest caseloads have revolved around the recent surge in scams. 'I cannot begin to tell you how our cases and scams have quadrupled. Really, maybe more,' said Cook, 'It is a trend we're seeing and these teams have just started to take up those cases in addition to traditional elder abuse cases. The harm to them in terms of those cases is just as great as the terms in traditional elder abuse.' Five seniors in Greece celebrate their 100th birthdays Monroe County Executive Adam Bello issued a proclamation to Lifespan, joining officials with a shared call on the community to help break the silence in what's described as a silent epidemic. 'Remember, you don't need a title or a badge to make a difference. You could be a friend, neighbor, or family member who sees or hears something that just doesn't feel quite right. We need everyone to recognize the signs of elder abuse and to know where to turn. Know the signs, know the resources, and take action,' said Kelly Zunner-Daniels, division leader for the Upstate Elder Abuse Center of Lifespan. Primary buildings across Monroe County and New York State will be lit in purple this weekend in light of raising awareness on elder abuse.

Rex Heuermann's pal describes his infamous basement gun room with 279 firearms: ‘One of only four people' to see it
Creepy alleged serial murderer Rex Heuermann was obsessed with firearms and kept a serious weapons cache in a concrete basement room, which almost nobody was allowed to see. However, one of the few admitted was his friend David Jimenez, a fellow weapons enthusiast who used to go with hulking Heuermann to the firing range. 'I was in that famous 'gun room' several times. He told me, 'You're one of only four people ever to be in this room'. And I said, 'Wow, okay, I'm privileged',' said Jimenez, who appears in new Peacock documentary 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets.' 8 Rex Heuermann pictured at a gun range.

When it was used, if it was altered, he's super knowledgeable when it comes to World War I, World War II, the Korean War, anything with firearms. I was fascinated by that, because I am too. 'And its ironic, because if he did do these killings, it doesn't appear he used a firearm,' Jimenez added to The Post. After Heuermann was arrested in 2023, leading to him being charged with the murders of seven sex workers, police raided the family home and recovered 'approximately 279 weapons' in the 'cluttered' residence, including 'quite a few long guns' and 92 handgun permits. Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison told CBS New York at the time the vault had a large iron door. Authorities later said some of the weapons were there illegally without a permit.

Peacock Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, and two grown-up children are not thought to have been allowed in the gun room. Jimenez clarified that while the number of firearms his pal owned sounds like a lot, for a serious collector it was in no way unreasonable. 'He's been collecting since he was 18 years old and kept on adding. Maybe 90% of them never got shot. A lot of them were just pieces for the collection. 'In the gun world, many collectors will have as many as they can afford. And then they gain value, so it's a good investment. An interest and a hobby.' Heuermann also stands accused of dumping the remains of the seven people he is charged with murdering across Long Island in a bloody spree between 1993 and 2011. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him and is currently awaiting trial. 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets' is available to watch now on Peacock.
