CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

PORTLAND — Deputies assisted Friday morning in locating a distraught subject who has fled from a town residence on Route 380 around 10:46 a.m.

Upon arriving at the location, deputies were told the subject was reportedly despondent and had made comments about self harm. Deputies were able to determine the subject had crossed over the roadway and headed across an open farm field towards a wooded area.
