Albion man sentenced to state prison for burglary, criminal contempt
ALBION – An Albion man was sentenced today to 2 to 4 years in state prison for third-degree burglary and two counts of criminal contempt in the first degree.
Patrick Allen, 41, of Albion on Sept. 20 pleaded guilty to the charges and admitted to entering a trailer with the intent to commit a crime on West State Street on Feb. 21, 2023. He also twice had contact with someone who had an order of protection against him.
As part of a plea agreement, he was given a reduced sentence from a maximum of 3 ½ to 7 years in prison.
He was sentenced today by Orleans County Court Judge Sanford Church.
In another case today, Medina native Erika Poole, 43, was arraigned for criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree for allegedly selling more than a half ounce of cocaine, which makes it an A-2 felony.
District Attorney Joe Cardone said Poole should be considered a persistent felon for her prior criminal history, which includes criminal sale and possession of a controlled substance. Cardone asked for bail, and Judge Church set it at $5,000 in cash and $25,000 bond.
