Port Byron man facing burglary charges

By The Citizen staff report

Thursday, May 25, 2006 11:03 AM EDT

A Port Byron man has been arrested and charged on two felonies: second-degree burglary and fourth-degree larceny.
Detectives from the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office took Travis L. Wright, 29, into custody May 9.

Wright, of 27 Church St., Port Byron, is accused of stealing computer equipment and cash from another residence in the Church Street Apartments, where he lived.

The alleged theft occurred the morning of Wright's arrest.

Wright was being sought for questioning in an unrelated incident when the burglary was reported. Assisted by state police investigators, sheriff's detectives located Wright at a residence in the town of Throop later that afternoon.

A joint investigation between the sheriff's office and the state police lead to the execution of a search warrant at a Wayne County residence. A subsequent search at that residence uncovered stolen property from several burglaries, including firearms. Investigators' review of other cases may result in additional charges against Wright.

The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information pertinent to the case to contact Detective Smith at 253-1610 or 253-4869.

" My home was one of the residences that this man bugularized. He was not charged with anything in my case until two weeks ago. He stole 2 guns and $2500.00 worth of power tools. The state police and Cayuga county Sheriffs were able to get back my Nikon digital camera and a power saw. The guns and other belongings of ours are gone. It has been 6 months since this happened. He has been in jail this whole time and was released on 9/13/06. He went trough drug court and now has only to "test clean" for 6 months. What I want to ask is what about the victims? Not only us but the other people this person robbed. I talked with Investigator Smith of Cayuga County Sheriffs, Investigator Prooper of the NYS police and with Charles Thomas of the Cayuga County DA office today and was told that since he was on drugs and is now in some kind of treatment program that we are out of luck and that when he chooses to become employed again we might see some kind of restitution. Where are we the people and the victims in this case protected. The Current DA James Vargason is not being tough on crime. He is letting the perps go and the victims remain victimized. Where is the justice in the judicial system in this case? The message this is sending is clear, If you commit a crime claim you are on drugs and you will not serve the time in jail. I am throughly disgusted with the people handling this case. Yes they were able to recover some of my missing belongings, but I have yet to get these items back. They have been evidence for the past 6 months. I hope when it comes time for reelection paople will have read this and know what some elected officials are really up to. "
