BATAVIA, N.Y. — A convicted felon was arrested after he allegedly shot at a parked vehicle in the Town of Batavia.

Robert J. Talbot, 48, faces one count of reckless endangerment, one count of criminal mischief, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. New York State Police said Talbot has no known address.

State Police said they were called around 12:40 p.m. Wednesday to Babcock Mobile Home Park on Clinton Street Road in the Town of Batavia. That's where someone said shots were fired at a parked vehicle, and troopers later confirmed that a 2016 Ford Explorer was shot at multiple times in the windshield.

"Talbot was arrested, and the two weapons a Savage Mark II .22 LR Rifle and an H+R 1871 Pardner Pump 20 gage shotgun were recovered from the residence following a consent to search," state police said in a statement.

Talbot, a convicted felon, was taken to a Genesee County court to be processed, pending arraignment.
