A Buffalo man who has been charged in connection with a home invasion in Pleasant Township last year is on his way back to Warren County… via Florida.

Laroy Darnell Hough, 37, 28 Linden Parkway, Buffalo, NY, was arrested on Feb. 23 by U.S. Marshals near Bradenton, Florida, according to Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Todd Koebley.

Charges were filed back in November but Hough was not apprehended until Thursday night.

Hough has been charged with two counts each of aggravated assault and burglary – overnight accommodation, no person present and three counts each of theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property.

All of those offenses are felonies. He has also been charged with several misdemeanors – two counts of simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and three counts of criminal mischief.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is coordinating his extradition back to Warren County.

“The deputies left Wednesday” and will return on Friday, according to Sheriff Ken Klakamp. “There were two deputies that are making the trip.”

Klakamp said that the costs of the extradition will be added to the costs of prosecution.

“My office has a line item for travel that covers meals and lodging,” he added. “We normally schedule deputies three days for extradition to the deep south.”

Klakamp said that they do comparisons to determine whether it is cheaper to send deputies to extradite or use an “extradition transport company.”

“Believe it or not (for) some states such as Idaho it (is) cheaper to send deputies than a company because it’s not on there normal travel route,” Klakamp said.

He said that deputies will lodge Hough at a county facility in North Carolina.

“We have done this before,” he said, “normally in Starksville, NC.”

Hough’s charges stem from an August 13 incident at two residences on Pleasant Drive – 3326 and 3411 – as well as at 2581 Lenhart Rd.

While state police were responding, a second call came from 3411 Pleasant Dr. where the resident “reported that their truck had just been stolen from their driveway.”

The resident followed the truck in a second truck and stopped his truck along the roadway “knowing that the accused had “fled down a one-way road and would have no choice but to turn around and come back towards” him.

The truck, driven by Hough, crashed off the side of the roadway as he approached the resident.

Hough and the resident, police said, “engaged in a brief physical altercation” which ended when Hough threw the victim to the ground.

Hough, police allege, “then jumped into the second truck and attempted to flee the scene. In doing so, he ran the leg (of the man) over, throwing his body forcefully to the ground, breaking his ribs and sternum and collapsing his lung.”

The injured resident was ultimately life-flighted to Erie.

Hough paved the path for police to figure out exactly who he is.

Inside one of the stolen trucks, “was a set of keys that contained a YMCA tag. A check with the Buffalo-Niagara YMCA showed that the tag belonged to (Hough),” police said in the affidavit. “Two cellular phones were located with in the vehicle that (Hough) arrived in to 3326 Pleasant Drive. A forensic search of the phone revealed that it belongs to (Hough) and contained ‘selfies’ of him.”
