Buffalo, NY – Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard reports Deputies arrested 49-year-old Cassandra Metros of Blasdell following a traffic stop on October 30 at approximately 6:45 P.M. in the Village of Springville.

The defendant is remanded to the Erie County Holding Center pending her arraignment.
