A 20-year-old Rochester man is accused of removing a security sensor from jewelry and leaving the store without paying.

Matthew Denk is charged with criminal mischief and petit larceny.

Sheriff’s Deputies say Denk removed the sensor off of a watch and necklace from Lord & Taylor at Eastview Mall. The value of both items was $296.68.

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

A Rochester man is facing charges following an incident involving two police officers.

Rochester Police say the landlord of a property on Lake Avenue called officers to remove a man who regularly sleeps in the hallways of the property.

When officers attempted to take the man – Anthony Giles – into custody, police say he flung his arms, pinning the officers against the wall. According to police, Giles then fought with the officers, tumbled down a set of stairs and then ran away from the apartment building.

Two officers were treated for contusions; a third officer was uninjured.

Giles was later taken into custody and charged with assault, criminal obstruction of breathing and resisting arrest.
