A 23-year-old Palmyra man has been charged with drunk driving.

Canandaigua Police say they stopped Brandon Haak on Bristol Street after he exited a parking lot the wrong way. He was subsequently charged with DWI, operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .08% or higher, open container and disobeying a traffic control device.

Haak is due in Canandaigua City Court at a later date.

A 65-year-old Wayne County woman is facing charges following a traffic stop in Victor.

Sheriff’s deputies say they stopped Linda Lehr of Macedon on Route 96 in Victor for a routine traffic stop. She was subsequently charged with unlawful possession of marijuana and ticketed for having an uninspected motor vehicle.

She was issued appearance tickets and is due in court at a later date to answer to the charges.
 

She was a mother of two and a popular teacher in the Fairport Central School District. The trial for the two people charged in her death got underway Thursday.

Investigators call it a deadly game of cat and mouse. They say Mark Scerbo and Meagan Merkel were chasing each other down the road after a night of drinking last July. That's when officials say both their vehicles hit and killed Heather Boyum, who was riding her bike.

This is an unusual trial because prosecutors are trying Merkel and Scerbo simultaneously in the same courtroom with one judge and two different juries. Officials say it's to save you, the taxpayer, some money.

Opening statements in the case against Mark Scerbo wrapped up Thursday afternoon. Opening statements for Meagan Merkel were held Thursday morning.
