On Saturday, a Rochester man was arrested following an investigation into an erratically driven vehicle in the Town of Canandaigua.

Ontario County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested 31-year-old Samuel Bahiga at approximately 2:51 a.m. near the intersection of County Road 30 and New Michigan Road. Deputies had investigated reports of a vehicle driving erratically eastbound on County Road 30 before pulling over to park roadside.

Investigators determined that Bahiga was operating the vehicle with a revoked New York State driver’s license that had fifty total suspensions and revocations.

Bahiga was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the second degree.

He was taken into custody and transported to the Ontario County Jail for pre-arraignment detention to await court proceedings.

The charges are accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. Police reports are automatically removed from this site after 90 days.
