Steuben County Coroner Michael Powers has responded to his arrest for unlawfully dealing with a child on Thursday. The Steuben County Sheriff's Office alleges that Powers bought a keg of beer at Wegmans in Hornell, then pulled the old 'switcheroo', trading the car with the keg to his stepson in the parking lot with another car.Powers claims that he didn't want the keg left in his parked car while he was attending the Hornell Police Officer’s Ball, so his stepson took it back to the house and left it on the porch. From that location it was stolen (but was found later at the coroner's cabin with the stepson and the other delinquents).
The Sheriff's Office has Powers dead to rights (note pun). One would think that someone with the education of a coroner would be able to contrive a more feasible story. Alas, Powers studies were predominantly focused on determining whether or not a person is dead (a skill I might note most people can attain without a college education).
