JAMESTOWN, N.Y. (WIVB) — A homeless man on probation in Jamestown was taken into custody for a number of reasons, police in the city announced early Thursday morning.
Around 1 a.m., police were in the area of Cherry and W. 5th streets after numerous trespassing and criminal mischief complaints were recently received.
