ANDES — Sheriff Craig DuMond announced the arrest of a Delhi man for driving with a revoked license and an Andes woman on drug charges. 

On January 20, 2025, Sheriff’s Deputies, while on patrol in the Town of Andes, observed a vehicle being operated on State Highway 28, traveling at a very slow rate of speed, missing a headlight and crossing the double yellow line.

As a result of the search, Deputies arrested Casey Manwarren for aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the 2nd degree, an unclassified misdemeanor, and issued traffic summons of unlicensed operator, inadequate headlamps, and failure to keep right. 

Casey Manwarren was released on appearance tickets and traffic summonses and was directed to appear in the Town of Andes Court at a later date.

Jodi Alvarez was also arrested on an active arrest warrant from NYSP Oneonta. Jodi was turned over to NYSP Margaretville at the time of the traffic stop.
