CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

– Scott Humble, 64, of the town of North Harmony was charged March 9 with two counts of second-degree criminal contempt. According to officials, at about 3 p.m., deputies received notification that Humble was in possession of dogs on his property. A search warrant was executed for the property, resulting in the discovery of two five-month-old Keeshond dogs located within a rear kennel. A court order, previously issued by the town of North Harmony on October 16, 2025, explicitly prohibited Humble from owning, harboring, or having custody or control of any animals until the final disposition of his pending animal cruelty case, stemming from an incident on September 24, 2025, which remains unresolved. Both dogs were seized and forfeited to the Chautauqua County Humane Society. Humble will be in North Harmony Town Court later.
