Police searching for second grocery store robbery suspect
BAINBRIDGE – The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of a woman wanted for her role in an armed robbery at grocery store in November.
The Chenango County Court issued a warrant for the arrest of 27-year-old Jamie L. Ballard last week after police arrested her alleged co-conspirator in late February. The warrant accuses Ballard of second degree robbery, a class C felony.
Lt. Richard Cobb said Ballard’s last known residence was in the Town of Masonville, but said she also has connections to the Sidney area. He said investigators believe she has fled the area, but authorities are still searching for her in New York.
Police arrested Anthony R. Botte Jr., 23, Harpursville, Feb. 28 and charged him with second degree robbery and second degree criminal use of a firearm, both class C felonies, fourth degree conspiracy, a class E felony, and fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon, a class A misdemeanor.
Cobb said Ballard and Botte entered the Bainbridge Great American along North Main Street at around 8:56 p.m. Nov. 28, dressed in black, wearing bandanas over their faces and carrying a pistol.
Cobb said no customers were in the store at the time, but the robbers forced two clerks to hand over more than $2,000 in cash.
Cobb said a third party had donated a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Anyone with information about the incident should contact the sheriff’s office at 337-1863.
Botte is currently in Chenango County Jail on $50,000 cash bail.
Cobb said Botte’s arrest was part of an investigation involving the Village of Sidney Police Department, the New York State Police in Sidney, and the Village of Bainbridge Police Department.
