    Noah Coughlan Runs for America | Rochester News

    Noah Coughlan just completed his fifth cross-country run — a 260-day, 50-state journey ending on the Fourth of July in Hawaii — carrying an American flag on an eight-foot pole to symbolize unity over division. His “Run for America” began a decade ago to raise awareness for rare diseases but evolved into a powerful message of national togetherness, stopping in towns like Livingston County where locals turned out to cheer him on, even as he pushed a stroller loaded with gear. This isn’t his first marathon across the nation — but it’s his most ambitious yet, proving that shared symbols and perseverance can bridge divides.

    Deputy Accused of Child Rape | Rochester News

    A Cayuga County deputy, Hunter Lawrence, 25, was arrested Friday after state troopers accused him of raping a child over multiple years. Facing two counts of second-degree rape and endangering the welfare of a child, he was processed and jailed but released later that night under court order. The sheriff’s office placed him on paid administrative leave to protect his due process rights under civil service law, while also launching its own internal probe. No evidence suggests the alleged incidents occurred during his official duties. Lawrence, who joined the department in June 2023, is currently suspended without pay and barred from carrying a firearm.
