Port Allegany Man Not Guilty Of Harassment Charge

PORT ALLEGANY MAN FOUND NOT GUILTY

Jason L. Daugherty of Port Allegany was found "not guilty" of Harassment in a summary trial in front of District Judge William Todd in Smethport Wednesday.

Daugherty was accused of harassment by Bobbi Jo Saltsman, also of Port Allegany, who had accused Daugherty of emailing and text messaging her on January 8, 2011. Charges were filed by Officer Dickerson of the Port Allegany Police Department.

Judge Todd ruled in Daugherty's favor after listening to arguments from Officer Adam Dickerson, and Miss Saltsman.

When Daugherty presented proof in the form of cell phone records and email records disputing Saltman's and Officer Dickerson's accusations, Judge Todd was quick to dismiss their claims, calling them " a huge waste of time".

Dickerson is one of those "gung ho" town cops who gets off by the power of a gun and a badge. I wonder if he's related to Phelps? Dickerson runs around Shinglehouse in his personal vehicle, rarely uses a turn signal, or stops completely at a stop sign. However, he'd be the first to pull you over and cite you for those infractions. The last thing a public servant should be is a hypocrite. Try doing your job with compassion, a friendly attitude, and abiding by the same rules you're are supposed to uphold. We all live here and we're all neighbors. In this case it sounds like one story was heard and the other was dismissed. Maybe a thorough investigation would have led to better use of taxpayer money.

I know Phelps I live in his township and he is one of the nicest, fairest guys I know. so how is it you formed your opinion of Mr. Phelps smokin Jo??? I'm guess he gave you a ticket and did'nt care who your were. I take it your frome Shinglehouse if you see Dickerson doing all the things you say then maybe you should call the Chief over there and report it. or are you just full of hot air? which I am guessing you are. it's funny how the only people that have a problem with the cops are the ones that have had dealing with them on a bad note.

I can't believe that an officer, or even a court, would hold a hearing if there were no evidence against Daugherty. Didn't she show anyone the texts or call list ?? What did this cop work on ??

Call Mr. Dickerson what you want, he is a true cop. He has told his mother he definitely would arrest her if she is doing something illegal, stop sign, whatever.
Officer Dickerson was very compassionate and a God send when we had some issues with our grandson and abuse by his mother. The officer knew exactly what to say when we needed him to tell us exactly what had happened. Our grandson opened up to the officer when we couldn't pry anything out of him.
We need more officers like him. He does the job he is paid to do and tries his best.

Seriously, you had to pull Phelps' name in to this when he wasn't even involved. Opinions like that should be kept to yourself.

This is just another case of the girl accusing a guy of something and the guy getting in trouble for it. Anymore if the girl says it happened then it did and the guy gets arrested or what have you. I'll be if they checked in to a lot more of this stuff they would find that the girls are filing false reports and then they would start getting burnt!!!!

I think that deep down, Officer Dickerson is a good guy, but he has some friends in "low places" in Port Allegany...which tarnishes both his image and the image of the police department. This was simply a case of him acting upon the wishes of one of those people. Hopfully he sees the light and keeps better company from now on.

Why isn't anyone saying anything about Bobbi Jo Saltsman? Seems she made false statements to start trouble and was proven a liar in court. True the officer should have done his due diligence but she should not be allowed to make false accusations and not be held accountable. Perhaps make her pay for the court costs.... I bet if that were the case she would stop doing these things.

Maybe you should have gone to the hearing to have the full story. There was a fraction of the story that didn't fit the piece of the puzzel and was only found out when they had a hearing. This is not a issue of false reports. The report was true, nothing false about it. Unfortunately the police have to believe the victim and have to proceed with the current evidence. I'm sure in this case you'll find that Ms.Saltsman initiated this texted call and unfortuantely daugherty fed into it and most like said things that people shouldn't say. Saltsman didn't like it and also continued to feed on this and eventually report it. Not an issue of false reports. Its an issue of stupidity on adults, Wish there was a law for that. Remember get the entire story before running your mouth after reading half the story.

Phelps is a great cop and a good guy, I wish there were more people like him around here rather than all the whiners there seem to be.
