Most of the assault-related charges against a woman incarcerated in McKean County Jail were bound to McKean County Court Monday at a hearing before District Judge William Todd.
Amie J. Alcock, 37, had one charge against her withdrawn: a felony charge of assault by prisoner. However, Alcock still faces the following: aggravated assault, a second-degree felony; aggravated harassment by prisoner, a third-degree felony; two counts of simple assault, second-degree misdemeanors; and two summary counts of harassment. The criminal complaint alleges that on Sept. 24 Alcock struck one corrections officer at the McKean County Jail in the head with a closed fist and spit in the face and eye of another corrections officer. She remains incarcerated in lieu of $30,000 bail in the new case.
In another case that moved forward on Monday, Josh J. Bodistow, 35, of Kane, waived a preliminary hearing before District Judge David Engman on charges of aggravated assault, a second-degree felony; simple assault and recklessly endangering another person, second-degree misdemeanors; disorderly conduct, a third-degree misdemeanor; and summary harassment. On the night of Sept. 24, Bodistow, who was under the influence of several drugs, allegedly cut his girlfriend’s wrist with a circular saw when he was fighting off imaginary intruders, according to the criminal complaint. He is in jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Scott C. Sicheri, 56, of Bradford, waived a preliminary hearing Monday before Engman on two counts of terroristic threats, first-degree misdemeanors; and one count each of retaliation for past official action, a second-degree misdemeanor; disorderly conduct, a third-degree misdemeanor; and summary harassment. According to the criminal complaint, Sicheri was upset about a decision that District Judge Dominic Cercone made in August and called the judge’s office numerous times, upset; Sicheri continued calling even after police told him to stop. At one point, Sicheri compared Cercone’s August decision to a past decision of Cercone’s with which Sicheri did not agree. Sicheri is free, having posted $25,000 bail.
