Three Chautauqua County, N.Y., residents have been sentenced to probation after three separate incidents in Warren County.

All three men were sentenced Friday by Judge Maureen Skerda.

Michael S. Lockerbie, was sentenced to five years probation with credit for 149 days time served after pleading guilty to third-degree felony retail theft – taking merchandise. He will also pay $950 in fines. Skerda gave no further penalty for a guilty plea of driving while operating privileges suspended or revoked. Lockerbie was also sentenced on a second docket to two years probation after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of retail theft – taking merchandise, a $500 fine and restitution. The probation sentences will run consecutively.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, Conewango police officers were notified of a reported theft from Lowe’s on Market Street. Store employees compiled a file with statements from store employees, reports, receipts, video footage and photographs detailing $1,943.98 in alleged thefts that had taken place between Feb. 19, 2025, and Feb. 24, 2025. Included in the file were photographs of a blue Kia Sportage licensed in New York. A search of police databases showed the same license plate registered to a 2013 Chevrolet Impala tied to a previous retail theft at Walmart in 2019. The registered owner of both vehicles is the same person living at the same address in Jamestown, N.Y.

Among items Lockerbie allegedly stole from Lowe’s over several days is a pair of scissors that he used to cut security devices off of a Dewalt drill and a brushless planer on Feb. 19, a Dewalt reciprocating saw, a Dewalt impact gun, several items from a Dewalt cut-out display, a Dewalt sander and a Dewalt oscillating tool.

Officers secured an arrest warrant for Lockerbie for the alleged Lowe’s thefts and, on March 20, were notified a vehicle identified as the same vehicle Lockerbie was allegedly driving during the Lowe’s thefts was seen near Warren Commons. Officers began to search the area for the vehicle and told Walmart’s loss prevention specialist that Lockerbie may be in the area. The Walmart employee then called police and said Lockerbie was leaving the Walmart store.

Aaron Nazario of Jamestown was sentenced by Skerda to two years probation after pleading guilty to a charge of misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking – movable property and another three years probation after pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy – criminal trespass, entering a structure. The probation will run consecutively. Nazario was also sentenced to pay a $500 fine.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Warren County Court by the Youngsville Police Department, Nazario allegedly stole an ebike from a garage in Youngsville valued at $1,200. The garage had been left open overnight, according to the affidavit.

A neighborhood resident was able to provide Ring doorbell camera footage showing a man and woman walking west on East Main Street, Youngsville, around 4:27 a.m. Oct. 20. The man shined a flashlight toward the garage and noticed it was open. Additional camera footage from the Country Fair store in Youngsville showed a Subaru Forester with New York registration that matched the pictures and video from the site of the burglary while the two people at Country Fair matched those seen in the Ring camera footage.

The arresting officer said Nazario met up with a woman at the Country Fair, with cameras allegedly showing Nazario getting a flashlight out of the Subaru and testing it. That flashlight, the officer said, was later seen in video used by Nazario to see into the open garage.

“Nazario is the only person that was observed walking up the driveway to the garage during this time,” the affidavit states. “Video shows Nazario riding the bike down the driveway and then him going east on East Main Street. The Subaru then follows.”

On a separate docket, Nazario had also been sentenced to a $1,000 fine, a 12-month driver’s license suspension, six months restrictive intermediate punishment to include 72 hours in the Warren County Jail and 30 days house arrest, attendance in an alcohol highway safety course and Victim’s Impact Panel, drug and alcohol treatment to satisfy a guilty plea to a charge of DUI: controlled substances, Schedule 2-3, first offense as well as vehicle and traffic fines.

Nazari had also been sentenced to between 134 days in jail and 1 year, 11 months and 29 days in jail after pleading guilty to theft by unlawful taking – movable property earlier this year.

Armando Colon of Falconer was sentenced Friday by Skerda to 24 months probation and a $1,000 fine after pleading guilty to a charge of simple assault.
