Some are already drawing conclusions — about whether Stewart will face charges and whether the political race between Povero and his challenger, ex-road patrol deputy Rodney Miller, has any bearing on the investigation.

“Povero is using it as a political tool,” Miller said of the investigation. Miller forced a Republican primary with Povero, a Democrat, who was endorsed by the Ontario County Republican Committee.
