Watkins Glen man arrested on child support warrant

Copyright © 2015 Finger Lakes Daily News

On Friday, March 27, Richard A. Franklin, age 39, appeared before Family Court Judge Dennis Morris on the outstanding warrant.

The warrant was issued when Franklin failed to appear for court in February on a petition charging him with contempt of court, due to his failure to make child support payments.

At Friday’s court appearance, assistant County Attorney Steven Getman asked the court to incarcerate Franklin, due to a history of non-compliance.

A Campbell woman was sentenced Tuesday (December 22) to immediate incarceration for failing to pay nearly $1150.00 in back child support.

Assistant County Attorney Steven Getman represented the support collection unit. Getman, noting that this was not the woman’s first violation, asked the court to imprison her immediately for contempt of court. At the time of court, records showed that the woman owed approximately $1149.00 in back child support.

The punishment was imposed by Family Court Judge Dennis Morris. Morris directed the woman to report to the Schuyler County jail immediately (December 22) to begin her sentence. He ordered her released at 5:00 pm on Christmas Eve, with a direction to serve two additional weekends of jail thereafter. The woman was then taken into custody under the order of commitment.
