41 People Were Arrested In Niagara County This Week
Police in Niagara County were certainly busy this past week. For a minute, it seemed like crime had slowed down pretty significantly. Last week there were 13 people arrested and the week before there were 15 people arrested in the county. I guess now that the holidays are over, crime is back at full speed. It may have been hopeful thinking on my part that we could start 2025 with less crime than we had in 2024.

One recent crime committed by a Niagara County resident was a horrific case of animal abuse. Ashley Pritchard of Lockport was arrested after her dog was found alone on a road in Lockport. The dog named Eve was severely emaciated. Sadly, Eve died the day after she was rescued by the Niagara SPCA. Pritchard, who was arrested by SPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents was arraigned on one felony count of aggravated cruelty to an animal, according to WGRZ. She is due back in court on February 20, 2025.

This week there were lots of crimes committed in Niagara County. These 41 people were caught and arrested, but imagine how many were able to fly under the radar and avoid getting caught. Hopefully, in 2025 we can do better as a community and reduce the crime rate. Things like drug treatment programs, job training and job opportunities, and mental health resources can help stop crime. But, let's be honest, some people will commit crimes simply because it provides fast money and is easier than getting a job.
Each of the people listed below is considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Contact me here.
