Interstate 390 Traffic Stop Concludes With One Arrested For Felony Cocaine Possession

Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty reports the arrest of two Monroe County residents following  a traffic stop. 

On May 6, 2022 Sheriff’s Investigator Shawn Whitford was assigned to the Sheriff’s Office Operation Safe  Interstate initiative when he stopped a vehicle on Interstate 390 in the Town of Avon for a violation of the NYS  Vehicle and Traffic law.  

The operator of the vehicle was identified as Duane A. Young, age 38, from Rochester, NY. A passenger in the  vehicle was identified as Carlos H. Glasgow, age 43, also from Rochester.  

During the stop, the Investigator did determine that Young’s license was revoked, and also suspected drug  activity, prompting him to initiate a roadside drug investigation. 

The roadside investigation revealed that Glasgow was in possession of cocaine. 

Young was arrested and charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of Motor Vehicle in the Second  Degree. He was also issued multiple traffic tickets for additional violations of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic law.  He will appear at a later date in the Town of Avon Court to answer the charges. 

Glasgow was charged with felony Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Third Degree, felony  Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Fourth Degree and Criminally Using Drug Paraphernalia  in the Second Degree. 

Glasgow was transported and turned over to Central Booking Deputies at the Livingston County Jail for  processing and pre-arraignment detention. The District Attorney’s Office was contacted in regards to bail due to  the felony level charges. It was recommended that Glasgow be held without the chance of bail due to him  having two prior felony convictions. 

Glasgow was later arraigned at the Livingston County Centralized Arraignment Part (LC-CAP) at the  Livingston County Jail before Town of Groveland Judge Love. The Judge did remand Glasgow to the custody  of the Sheriff without the chance of bail to be held for further court proceedings.

The Livingston County Public Defender’s Office was present and represented Glasgow at the court arraignment  for his defense. The Livingston County District Attorney’s Office was notified but did not appear to represent  the people.  

Assisting with the investigation for the Sheriff’s Office were Sergeant Caleb Cutting, Deputy Jerry Pilkenton  and Deputy Gordon Truax.
