A husband and wife from Endicott face charges in Steuben County following the investigation into a disturbance at a gas station in the village of Bath.
Police arrested 58-year-old James Bowers and 45-year-old Carrie Bowers after it was determined there had been a domestic dispute in a car that had traveled into the village and parked at the Kwik Fill. It is alleged that James and Carrie engaged in a domestic dispute in a moving car with a 15-year-old inside. Carrie and James were both determined to be intoxicated.
Carrie Bowers was charged with aggravated DWI with a child, a Felony, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and endangering the welfare of a child.
James Bowers was charged with obstructing governmental administration and endangering the welfare of a child.
The 15-year-old was turned over to a third party.
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.
