GENEVA, N.Y. — A Farmington woman is dead after crashing her car while under the influence of alcohol, according to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO). Deputies say it happened in Geneva early Sunday morning. Around 2 a.m. Alyssa Coleman had been driving on County Road 4 when she veered off the road and crashed into a large tree. Police say she had been drinking and speeding, which both likely played a factor. Coleman was 36.

GROVELAND, N.Y. – New York State says it’s giving corrections officers on strike at dozens of prisons its final warning to return to work or face consequences. The state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said staff could face charges if they don’t return to their scheduled shifts on Friday. News10NBC went to Groveland Correctional Facility in Livingston County, as the unsanctioned strike entered its 18th day, to see whether staff chose to return to work vs. walk the picket line.

Waterloo-Geneva road is back open - but police are still investigating. Scene has shrunk to the Maillard Crossing trailer home neighborhood. Again, that individual who posed a threat is in custody.

UPDATE: Subject is in custody. Was barricaded inside, considered “armed and dangerous.” State police and other agencies are still working the scene, but say they will give details later in the morning. @news10nbc

I’m in between Waterloo & Geneva where NYSP have Waterloo/Geneva road shut down leading to the NYSP station. Waterloo CSD on a two hour delay and is citing a shelter in place due to a “serious incident.” We’re working to confirm the details on what that incident is @news10nbc https://t.co/nwW6v1Sljx
