In a news release Thursday, police said that Rocco A. Stanley, 41, of Port Byron, has been charged with leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident, a Class D felony.
The accident took place at about 9:45 p.m. Feb. 9, 2021, on Route 31 between Mentz Church Road and Old State Route 31 in the town of Montezuma.
