Court Briefs from the Region
A Cattaraugus man has pleaded not guilty to vehicle manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in connection with an accident that killed an Otto, New York, man.
Court records indicate that 41-year-old Michael Andrews was driving while intoxicated on January 2 in the Town of Mansfield when an accident caused the death of 46-year-old Joseph Sebastiani.
Although the Cattaraugus County District Attorney's office asked for bail to be set at $100,000, Andrews was released on his own recognizance.
Three Buffalo residents waived their preliminary hearings on charges they sold crack cocaine from a room at the Best Western Bradford Inn.
Thomas Charles Patton III, Kesha Burney and Sophia Patton were all charged with possession of crack cocaine with intent to deliver.
Police executed a search warrant on room 108 at the motel after confidential informants bought crack cocaine there twice.
Officers had to force their way into the room through a window because the suspects dead-bolted the steel exterior door. Once inside officers located money, crack cocaine packaged for sale, marijuana and digital scales.
Burney and Thomas Patton are in McKean County Jail. Sophia Patton is free on bail.
A Bradford man accused of indecent assault has waived his preliminary hearing.
Court records indicate that on September 10 Orange Hyman grabbed a woman on South Center Street and started kissing her neck against her will.
When police found Hyman he allegedly had a large knife with him.
He's free on bail.
An Amish man who served a state prison sentence for killing his wife 15 years ago has been sent to jail for three months for illegally using a firearm while deer hunting last fall.
42-year-old Edward Gingerich will spend three to 12 months in the Crawford County Correctional Facility after pleading guilty to possessing a firearm.
Gingerich was barred from owning or possessing a firearm after he was involuntarily committed to Warren State Hospital following his arrest in 1993 on allegations that he murdered his wife, Katie Gingerich.
A jury later found Gingerich guilty, but mentally ill, of involuntary manslaughter.
