Erie County Sheriffs Office Family Court Warrant Unit Arrests 12 in Countywide Sweep.



Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard announces Deputies assigned to the Civil Enforcement Division’s Family Court Warrant and Child Support Enforcement Unit arrested twelve individuals today in a countywide sweep. Family Court warrant sweep that was conducted on Wednesday, June 13, 2018. Deputies searched the City of Buffalo, as well as towns and villages in Erie County for individuals, wanted on active Family Court warrants.
