A 26-year-old Seneca Falls man was arrested on three separate occasions in a 36 hour period in crimes involving stolen bicycles, punching a female in the face in front of a child, and threatening two men with a tire iron on Green Street. On Tuesday at about 12:02 am the Town of Seneca Falls Police Department arrested Brandon S. Stone, age 26 of Peterman Road in Seneca Falls, with intimidating a witness in the third degree, a felony. The arrest stems from an incident where Stone threatened two other males on Green Street in Seneca Falls with a tire iron.

The original arrest of Stone occured the night before at about 8:04 pm when the Town of Seneca Falls Police Department responded to 25 Peterman Road B7 in Seneca Falls following a domestic dispute.
