YORK – Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty reports the arrest of an Avon resident on felony Driving While Intoxicated charges following an investigation by the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office.

On March 25th, 2026 at approximately 6:26 pm, Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the area of Main Street and Genesee Street in the Town of York for the report of a vehicle being operated in an erratic manner.  It was then reported that the vehicle had pulled into a business on Main Street. 

Deputies arrived on location and made contact with the vehicle and the operator, who was identified as 33-year-old Brandon Becker of Avon.  During the initial encounter with Becker, Deputies suspected that he was possibly under the influence of alcohol.  Deputy Caleb Nellis, who is assigned to the Sheriff’s Office STOP DWI Unit conducted a DWI investigation, which included the performance of standardized field sobriety tests.  At the completion of the investigation, Becker was taken into custody for DWI.

Becker was transported to the Sheriff’s Headquarters in Geneseo where Deputy Meghan Waters of the Jail Division administered a breathalyzer test to determine his blood alcohol content (BAC).  The breathalyzer revealed that Becker had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .20%.

A records check showed that Becker did have a prior conviction for DWAI Drugs in 2018, making this arrest a felony.

Becker was charged with felony DWI, Aggravated DWI and violations of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law. 

Becker was turned over to Central Booking Deputies at the Livingston County Jail for arrest processing and pre-arraignment detention.  He was later arraigned at the Livingston County Centralized Arraignment Part (LC-CAP) at the Livingston County Jail before Village of Geneseo Justice Bushnell.  The Judge did release Becker on his own recognizance as the offenses do not qualify for bail under the NYS Bail Reform Act.

The Livingston County Public Defender’s Office was present and represented Becker at the court arraignment for his defense.  The Livingston County District Attorney’s Office was also present to represent the People.
