Thomas Weber of Evans charged in stalking and attempted rape.
The Town of Evans Police have charged Thomas J. Weber, 64, of Evans with felony first-degree stalking, to commit a specified sex offense; prostitution; attempting to lure a child into a vehicle/building to commit a crime; third-degree attempted rape, victim less than 17 and the perpetrator over 21; second-degree harassment and acting in a manner injurious to a child.According to police, at about 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 26, while diving an older vehicle, Weber followed a 16-year-old female Town of Evans resident and allegedly offered her $20 and a pack of cigarettes to have sex with him.
When she walked away from him, he allegedly drove around, pulled ahead of her, parking in the driveway of a vacant lot and began soliciting her again.
He drove off before police arrived at the scene, but on Sunday, Oct.28, he returned to the area, where he was apprehended.
He was in the area because he allegedly left a note in the victim's mailbox asking her to meet him at 1 p.m. on that day.
A computer check shows that he has been arrested previously in Buffalo for two sex offenses, including patronizing a prostitute and exposure. The computer also revealed that there have been other complaints of him following another female.
On Tuesday, Oct. 30, he was arraigned in the Town of Brant Court and was transported to the Erie County Holding Center in lieu of $5,000 bail.

The first question that comes to mind for me is, the "mayor" and her husband are both in the fire department, both EMT's, so why instead of stopping the ambulance didn't they just take over if the driver wasn't qualified? It's real comforting knowing that if you call 911 in Farnham your ambulance might be delayed by a mayor on a power trip. Someone should remind her this isn't a dictatorship and put her in her place. Excellent representation of the village, but what do you expect from someone who won the position by default? Maybe next election they could at least get a chimp to run against her, I'm sure you can guess who they'll vote for this time.
