Geneseo N.Y. — Livingston County Sheriff Tom Dougherty released new details Monday on a manhunt that took place in Rochester over the weekend after a registered sex offender who had been in custody was released from the hospital.
"I own this one as the sheriff," Sheriff Thomas Dougherty said. "I made the decision based on what I had. And again, if I knew it was going to change 24 hours later, it would have been a different decision."Dougherty said Steinmetz was in the department's custody until Friday, when he asked the court to grant a release.
"We always jump on things very aggressively," Dougherty said. "Especially when we are talking about felony sex charges when we don’t want him out wandering around."
