BATH, N.Y. (WETM) — A Painted Post woman was arrested on Wednesday after deputies claimed she was driving a stolen vehicle throughout Steuben County.

Alesha Hunt, 32, was arrested on Wednesday, July 9, on the Following charges:

Grand larceny in the second degree, a class C felony.

Criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree, a class D felony.

Reckless endangerment in the second degree.

Stalking in the fourth degree.

Petit larceny

Aggravated unlicensed operation in the third degree.

Various other traffic offenses.

Hunt’s arrest stems from a reported crash and a stolen vehicle in Thurston on Wednesday. Hunt is accused of stealing a vehicle in Bath and driving it to Thurston, deputies said.

Along with the vehicle being stolen, it didn’t have a valid inspection or registration, and Hunt was driving it with a suspended or revoked license, deputies said.

Around this time, deputies allege that Hunt followed a person in a public area and caused them to fear injury, or acted recklessly in a way that was likely to cause injury to that person.

Hunt was arrested on the above charges and processed before she was taken to the Steuben County Jail.

“Southwest NY State is definitely Appalachia, without Baptists, and with more NY-state-style socialism, and even more meth.”

I’m a Baptist and grew up in SW NYS — even lived in Painted Post for a year. There are so many Baptist that Seventh Day Baptists used to coexist with regular Baptists.

Also, have seen more Confederate flags in that neck of the woods than I’ve ever seen here in TN. Trump signs are EVERYWHERE.

It’s not Appalachia. Corning Glass there in Steuben County is high tech, and the place is crawling with PhDs.

Looks like Hunt should have been in the bath
room taking a bath rather than taking a car.

You grew up in SW NYS - how many years ago was that? Have you been back recently?

I still live in the area.

Yes, some religious and self-reliant people remain, and they vote Trump. I didn’t say there were zero good jobs, rather, most middle class jobs now are somehow all connected to State employment.

It’s a decayed socialist society, controlled from Albany and NY City and an afterthought to elites there. All the post-modern social pathologies JD Vance outlined in his biography exist in spades in Steuben County. My State Sheriff friends in Allegany, Stueben, Chemung, etc.. tell me they make only two kinds of arrests - drugs, and domestic violence.
