CONVICTION AND SENTENCE IN ROXBURY GRAND LARCENY CASE

ROXBURY —  Delaware County District Attorney Shawn J. Smith announced that Michaela Briggs, 40, of Prattsville appeared before the Honorable Judge Jerald Stein in the Roxbury Town Court on October 1, and pleaded guilty to one count of Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle in the Third Degree, a Class A Misdemeanor.  As a result of the conviction, Judge Stein sentenced the defendant to a one-year conditional discharge, and she has to pay restitution, and pay fines to the court.   

On May 28, 2025, New York State Trooper James Vlahakis was dispatched to assist with a car in a ditch that was also reported stolen. On May 27th, Briggs was involved in a domestic dispute in the Town of Roxbury.  Constable Steven Williamson reported to the scene and eventually gave Briggs a courtesy transport back to her home in Prattsville.  Briggs then took her neighbor’s car in an attempt to make it back to the location of the domestic dispute and ultimately ran into the ditch on her way.

Delaware County District Attorney Shawn Smith commended Troopers Vlahakis and Anthony Valente of the New York State Police along with Roxbury Town Constable Stephen Williamson for their work on this case.
