A Geneva man has been charged in connection with the theft of a cellphone from a Walmart shopping cart in the Town of Hopewell.
The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office reports that 31-year-old Samuel E. Vazquez was arrested Saturday afternoon following an investigation into a larceny reported five days earlier.
Deputies say Vazquez is accused of removing a victim’s cellphone from their cart while inside the Walmart store on July 14. He has been charged with petit larceny, a misdemeanor.
Vazquez was issued an appearance ticket and is scheduled to appear in Hopewell Town Court at a later date to answer the charge.
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.
