New York’s EllicotTVille (WNY News Now).The Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office reports that after a traffic check early Saturday morning, a Machias man was taken into custody for driving under the influence.
On February 1, 2025, at around 2:58 a.m., authorities say that 23-year-old Davaughan W. Wells was pulled over on Route 242 in the Town of Ellicottville.
