It began Tuesday (11/24) at 2 a.m. when an intoxicated Jean Marc A. Ropiteau began calling officials in Rochester telling them they were doing nothing about terrorists and he was going to “blow them up.”

Rochester Police called the State Police in Williamson to go to Ropiteau’s home at 4851 Ridge Chapel Road in Marion and tell him to quit calling.

When State Police arrived at Ropiteau’s house he kicked the police off his property, sat in his driveway and continued to drink beer. He reportedly told police he even wanted them to stop standing off his property in “his half of the roadway.”

Police said that two hours later Ropiteau got into his vehicle, took out a neighbor’s mailbox, got stuck and left his vehicle muffler behind. He then reportedly parked his vehicle in the roadway, blocking Ridge Chapel Road. Police believed he was upset that police had driven by his house and he was going to block them from any other pass-bye.

A driver came upon Ropiteau’s vehicle in the road and tried to wake him to move. Unsuccessful, the driver drove around Ropiteau’s vehicle in the gravel alongside the road.

This attempt to thwart his road block woke Ropiteau up and he angrily pursued the driver. He (Ropiteau) sped up, lost control and overturned his vehicle, hitting a tree in the front yard at 5343 Ridge Chapel Road.

Police were summoned by the other driver and a highly intoxicated Ropiteau became belligerent. He was transported to Newark Wayne Hospital to be checked over and released back into the custody of police.

Ropiteau was charged with DWI/Refusal to Submit to a Breath/Blood Test, Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, Speed Unreasonable or Prudent, Reckless Driving, Failure to Keep Right and Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Accident. He was arraigned in Marion Town Court and remanded to jail on $1000 cash bail to reappear in Marion Court.
