The Erie County Sheriff’s Office released the following statement regarding the investigation into the incident that took place in the Town of Clarence over the weekend where a teenager was allegedly beaten at a party.

The statement, in its entirely, is included below:

Our agency is working diligently on the Clarence case from last weekend. Since first receiving a call about the incident, the Sheriff has assigned multiple Deputies and Detectives to the case. Over the last several days, the Sheriff’s Office has talked to the victim, subjects, and to parents or guardians. The law enforcement professionals assigned to the case have learned much about the incident. However, the Sheriff’s Office cannot discuss topics surrounding the incident because of the continuing investigation.

As with many cases, there is more to the incident than what many have seen in the media or on social media platforms. The Sheriff’s Office asks for the public’s patience as ECSO personnel continue their work.

We cannot give an estimate when our investigation will end or guess at its outcome.
