Man Pleads to Injuring Police Officer

A Buffalo man already in Allegany County Jai on a robbery charge has pleaded guilty to injuring a police officer on an unrelated case.

Cattaraugus County District Attorney Lori Rieman says 22-year-old Zachary Barrett attempted to prevent a police officer from performing his duty on May 25, and injured the officer in the process.

He’ll be sentenced on March 14.

Barrett is currently in jail for robbing a pizzeria in Angelica and the Rushford Corner store at gunpoint.
