Ontario County Sheriff's deputies say a Henrietta woman led them on a chase across county lines Tuesday morning.

Sheriff's deputies say they responded to a call at a West Bloomfield 7-eleven store.

When they arrived, deputies say a customer told them that a female had thrown coffee on him and then struck him before leaving the store in a car.

Police say they located the car on Route 5 and 20 and attempted to pull the driver, Jillian Gregory, 29, over.

Police say Gregory initially stopped, but when she was asked to step out of the vehicle, deputies say she placed the vehicle in drive and sped off.

Investigators say the deputies pursued her in to Monroe County where she pulled in to her parent's driveway.

Report: Monroe County most fiscally stressed in NYS

Submitted by WHEC_Web_Staff

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013, 11:20am

The state comptroller's office says Monroe County is listed as the most fiscally stressed local government in New York State.

Two dozen communities in New York have been designated as such through the comptroller's new Fiscal Stress Monitoring System. The list includes eight counties, three cities and 13 towns.

The comptroller judges municipalities by things such as cash on hand, patterns of operating deficits, population trends and tax assessment growth.

The comptroller says he hopes the early warning system will motivate elected leaders and their constituents to become more efficient, more creative and more forward thinking with resources available.
