He is charged with 2nd degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon. Police say he shot his father Bernard Gallow, 58, to death at their Scipio home earlier this month.
He was shot in the head with a .22-caliber rifle in a garage about 20 yards from his home. He was a retired Cayuga County Sheriff's deputy, who worked for more than 20 years as a road patrol deputy.
Police have not yet released a motive for the crime.
Gallow is due back in court on June 2nd.
