On June 14, 2024 at 0238 hours, Deputy M. Salada observed a vehicle traveling on Chestnut Road in the Town of Newfane. The vehicle had a headlight out and Deputy Salada subsequently initiated a Traffic Stop.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the operator of the vehicle, Richard L. Baldwin, a 40-year-old male from Wilson NY, was providing a false identity to Deputies. Once identified, Baldwin was found to be wanted on numerous full extradition felony warrants out of the State of Indiana.
The warrants totaled 6 charges on 4 warrants, relating to Methamphetamine and Auto Theft. He was subsequently charged with False Personation (Misdemeanor), Unlicensed Operation and No/Inadequate Headlight. Baldwin was remanded to the NCSO Correctional Facility, awaiting extradition.
A passenger in the vehicle, Michael T. Doxey Jr., a 37- year-old male from Lockport NY, was also taken into custody for an active bench warrant out of the Town of Lockport for Petit Larceny, Resisting Arrest and Obstruction of Governmental Administration. Doxey was remanded to the NCSO Correctional Facility, awaiting further proceedings both in the Town of Lockport and in the Town of Clarence, where he faces additional warrants relating to Burglary.
