A July incident in the city of Dunkirk led to a pair of arrests for a city man.

Dunkirk Police report that around 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 24 officers responded to an address on St. Hedwigs Avenue for a reported physical domestic dispute. Upon arrival it was determined the suspect, Jetchuan A. Reyes, 35 of Dunkirk, had prevented the victim from calling 911 for help and pushed the victim through a porch railing during the dispute.

Reyes was arrested by officers on scene and transported to the city police headquarters for processing, where eight individual baggies containing a significant amount of an unknown powder substance was located on his person.
