Man Jailed for Manslaughter Now Charged
with Assaulting an Inmate

A Jamestown man already jailed on 2 counts of first degree manslaughter is accused of assaulting another inmate in the Chautauqua County Jail.

41-year-old Gregory Pattison allegedly hit the other person, causing facial injuries and bruising on his head and face. He is charged with assault and will appear in Town of Chautauqua Court to answer the charge, according to Chautauqua County Sheriff's Deptuies.

Pattison pleaded guilty June 20 to killing Richard Alicea Jr. and Johnny Houston back in 2001. He was convicted of murder back in 2005 but the conviction was overturned on a technicality.

Pattison was hired by two drug dealers to kill Alicea, who was an informant for the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force and took more than $150,000 worth of drugs from them.

The drug dealers, Aaron Pike and Daniel Diaz were convicted for their roles in the murders and are still in prison.
