On June 7th, 2024, at approximately 5:00 PM, following an investigation by the Cuba Police Department Narcotics Unit, Cuba Police arrested Robert C. Schappacher (43) of Friendship, NY.

Schappacher was arrested after a Grand Jury issued an indictment warrant on charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance 3rd (Felony), criminal sale of a controlled substance 3rd (Felony), criminal possession of a controlled substance 5th (Felony) and criminal sale of a controlled substance 5th (Felony).

Schappacher was processed, placed in front of a judge and sent to the Allegany County Jail on no bail.

Schappacher is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. These charges stem from the alleged sale of methamphetamine in the Town and Village of Cuba. The Narcotics Unit was assisted by the Allegany County District Attorney’s Office.

The Cuba Police Department would like to take this time to remind residents of the dangers of these narcotics. We ask that if you have any information on these types of illegal activities you contact our narcotics unit at 585-968-1666 or via our confidential tip email at tips@cubapd.org.

Yesterday, June 6th, 2024, was a day that highlighted the dedication and bravery of our officers. While I cannot share specific details due to an ongoing investigation, I must commend Chief Pat Warnick of Smethport Borough Police Department and Ptlm. Joshua Frederoski of the City of Bradford Police Department. Your actions were nothing short of heroic. Your professional training and experience were pivotal in bringing a dangerous situation to a peaceful resolution, ensuring the safety of our communities.

To all additional responding law enforcement agencies, EMS, and officers involved: the response I witnessed was one of the finest I have ever seen in our area. The teamwork and collaboration were exemplary. This was a defining moment, showcasing the strength and effectiveness of our services in McKean County.

Thank you sincerely for your dedication and bravery!

This is the damage done to the picnic tables at the park on North St. We have removed the tables due to the ongoing vandalism. We do not have a porta-potty at the park this year for the same reason. If anyone has any information on who is damaging our property, please contact the Township Office at 544-7549. If the vandalism continues to happen, we will have no choice but to close and lock the park up.
