LOCKPORT: Missing woman found safe

A woman wanted on a bench warrant in the City of Lockport who had been reported missing Friday was found by city police Monday evening.

Family members said Bethany A. Flach, 22, of 701 Gardenwood Drive in the Woodlands, had not been seen since Wednesday.

Flach, a mother of three, failed to appear in Lockport City Court on Friday, triggering a bench warrant in her name. She was charged June 17 with fourth-degree grand larceny in the Town of Hartland.

Detective Lt. Scott Seekins said the woman was located Monday evening and was in custody on the bench warrant.

Seekins said Flach was “safe and sound.”

“There were no problems,” he said.

Flach was charged with stealing a Cornerstone Community Federal Credit Union ATM card from a Ridge Road woman. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the case was transferred to Lockport City Court through the treatment court program, Officer Paul Beakman said.

Family members reportedly said her disappearance was unusual and officers had been concerned for her well-being until she was found Monday, Beakman said.

Do you think local and county officials will have a Niagara Falls to Lewiston tourist trolley up and running for the summer?

Yes. It’s too good of an idea to pass up, they’ll find a way.
No. They haven’t even figured out how to pay for it yet, there’s not enough time before summer starts.
Ready with my token. It’s kind of a longshot but I have hope.
