An investigation by the Penn Yan Police Department determined that the report 65-year-old Barry Stryker allegedly gave them revealed the alleged crime to be baseless. The investigation also revealed Stryker purchased the items from the business to submit them to police as alleged evidence.
Stryker was charged with falsely reporting an incident and was ordered to appear in Penn Yan Village Court at a later date.
