MAYVILLE — Potential jurors were sent home, and a trial for two Buffalo men facing weapons possession charges has been postponed in Chautauqua County Court over “COVID concerns” that arose Tuesday, a court clerk said.

The clerk confirmed that individuals who had arrived at the Mayville courthouse for the beginning of jury selection in the case involving Torrie Jones and Mikial Moore were released. The two are being tried as co-defendants on charges of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

The clerk said no further information was available.

Moore and Jones are each facing a charge of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. They were indicted by a grand jury in August 2020.

The Buffalo residents had been jailed in Mayville following a shooting March 26, 2020, in front of 707 Jefferson St. in Jamestown. A city man drove himself to UPMC Chautauqua for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries after he was reportedly struck in the head.

An investigation by the Jamestown Police Department led to six arrests, including Moore and Jones.

During a search of the Jefferson Street home, investigators reportedly found four unlawfully possessed handguns along with 200 rounds of ammunition, 12 pounds of marijuana, 1.2 ounces of cocaine and around $4,000 in cash.
