The Wayne County Office of the Sheriff reported the arrest on Thursday (12/13) of Kimberly A. Rogers, age 38, currently held in the Wayne County Jail pending her transfer to New York State Department of Corrections.

Kimberly Rogers was convicted of a felony drug related crime on December 13, 2018 and was taken into custody during that court proceeding at the Wayne County Court in Lyons, New York.
