Schuyler County Woman Arrested on Victor Bench Warrant

SHARE NOW

A Schuyler County woman was arrested Thursday night in Ontario County on an outstanding bench warrant.

Deputies say 28-year-old Rachel Phytila, of Montour Falls, was taken into custody around 10:00 p.m. at a location on State Route 5 and 20 in the Town of West Bloomfield. The arrest stemmed from a bench warrant issued by Victor Town Court for failing to appear on previous charges of petit larceny and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Phytila was held for arraignment and is expected to appear in Victor Town Court at a later date to answer to the charges.

The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
