• SUSPICIOUS: Deputies responded to the area of Slayton Settlement Road about 5:45 p.m. for a report of a suspicious man. They said they found a 21-year-old Newfane man walking on Lockport-Olcott Road. He reportedly said he needed a ride home because he was afraid the woman he was with was going to kidnap him. The man told deputies he and the woman had been walking in the nature park on Slayton Settlement Road, smoking marijuana, when he suddenly became afraid she was going to kidnap him and took off running. He said she did not attempt to kidnap him and did not talk about kidnapping him, but he said he “had a feeling” she might because of a dream he had. The man reportedly said the situation felt like deja vu to him. Deputies transported the man home, where two residents said the man would be OK and they would watch over him, the report said.
