OVID, NY (607NewsNow) – Another man has been charged in an Ovid burglary investigation.

On January 20, the Seneca County Sheriff’s Office arrested Ted O’Connor, of Seneca Falls.

O’Connor is additionally charged with obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest.

Both men were held in detention due to previous felony convictions.
