ALBION – The man accused of stabbing one man to death and gravely wounding that man’s brother has been offered a plea deal that would keep him behind bars for 20 years to life.

Aaron D’Angelo, 36, of Medina has been charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder after two brothers were stabbed on Feb. 7 in Shelby.

D’Angelo allegedly caused the death of Dale R. Lang, 65, who was pronounced deceased at the scene, 4643 South Gravel Road (Route 63). His brother John Lang, 67, also suffered multiple stab wounds and was transported to Medina Memorial Hospital and then Erie County Medical Center. John Lang has recovered after being stabbed about 20 times.

District Attorney Susan Howard in court today offered D’Angelo a plea agreement where if he pleads guilty to second-degree murder and attempted murder in the second degree, he would face a maximum of 20 years to life in prison.

He also would need to plead guilty to menacing a police officer and would serve no more than eight years on that charge.

In addition, he faces charges of strangulation and criminal contempt in the first degree for violating an order of protection.

The plea deal would satisfy all charges and the sentences would be served concurrently or at the same time with the 20 years to life maximum, Howard said.

D’Angelo is represented by Public Defender Joanne Best. The plea offer wasn’t rejected today. It will be held over and discussed at the next court appearance.

MEDINA – Two people from the Hemp House in Medina pleaded guilty in Orleans County Court today to attempted criminal possession of cannabis in the first degree.

Mitchell Kwandrans, 38, of Medina and Marcus Verratti, 40, both admitted in court today to attempting to possess more than 10 pounds of marijuana on Nov. 5, 2025. A Niagara County lab weighed the cannabis at 10.16 pounds.

Kwandrans is the owner of the Hemp House which has been shut down by the NYS Office of Cannabis Management for possessing and selling unauthorized cannabis products. Verratti was an employee of the Hemp House.

Both were offered a plea deal and won’t face jail time as part of their pleas in court today.

They could face probation and a fine when they are sentenced on Sept. 30. They are both first-time felony offenders.

In another case, Medina man pleads guilty to sex abuse against child

ALBION – A Lyndonville man was sentenced to four years in state prison this morning by Orleans County Court Judge Sanford Church.

Stanley Jenks

Stanley Jenks, 55, on April 29 pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted sex abuse involving a child under age 11.

He was arrested on March 10 for sex abuse in the first degree. As part of a plea agreement, he admitted to attempted sex abuse in the first degree, by trying to have a child under age 11 touch his penis. Jenks said he did that for his own sexual gratification.

But today in court Judge Church and District Attorney Susan Howard said Jenks didn’t take responsibility during pre-sentencing interviews. Howard said there were also three other complaints against Jenks. Howard said Jenks hasn’t taken responsibility for the crime, and instead engages in “whole lot of victim blaming.”

Jenks is represented by Public Defender Joanne Best. She said Jenks has no other criminal charges in the prior 20 years. She asked for no incarceration and instead 10 years of probation where he would be monitored. The sex offender registry also means additional supervision for Jenks, she said.

Taylor Valovic

Judge Church opted for the maximum sentence in a plea deal of four years in state prison. Jenks will also be on post-release supervision for 10 years. He also issued an order of protection for the victim of the crime for eight years.

In another sex abuse case against a child, a Medina man pleaded guilty to first-degree sex abuse and could face up to five years in prison when he is sentenced on Oct. 28.

Taylor Valovic, 30, of Medina admitted in court to putting his hand on a 10-year-old girl’s private parts for his sexual gratification.

He was arrested by the Medina Police Department on March 25. He is currently in the Orleans County Jail with bail set at $100,000 cash, $200,000 bond and $500,000 partial secured bond.

ALBION – The man who allegedly stabbed two brothers in February, killing one and seriously wounding the other, was arraigned in Orleans County Court today.

Aaron D’Angelo, 36, of Medina was charged with murder and attempted murder after two brothers were stabbed on Feb. 7 in Shelby.

D’Angelo allegedly caused the death of Dale R. Lang, 65, who was pronounced deceased at the scene, 4643 South Gravel Road (Route 63).

His brother John Lang, 67, also suffered multiple stab wounds and was transported to Medina Memorial Hospital and then Erie County Medical Center. John Lang has recovered after being stabbed about 20 times.

D’Angelo was arraigned in county court this morning for second-degree murder, attempted murder in the second degree, first-degree assault, menacing a police officer and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.

He also was arraigned on a separate indictment from November for second-degree strangulation, and two counts of criminal contempt in the first degree, for allegedly choking his mother and violating orders of protection she had against him.

County Court Judge Sanford Church continued to have D’Angelo be held in the county jail without bail for the murder and attempted murder charges. For the charges against his mother, D’Angelo is being held on $50,000 cash bail, $100,000 bond and $200,000 partially secured bond.

Public Defender Joanne Best is representing D’Angelo. She asked for “reasonable bail,” saying he has always shown up for his court appearances.

D’Angelo has been in the county jail since his arrest. There was a 730 exam to determine his mental capacity and he was found to be competent, District Attorney Susan Howard said.

D’Angelo is next scheduled to appear in county court on July 29 for a conference.

ALBION – A Medina man was sentenced to five years in state prison today for having a gun. He also will have five years of post-release supervision.

Reginald Kendrick, 50, pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. He was charged after law enforcement on Nov. 12 seized a loaded unbranded polymer “ghost” semi-automatic 9 mm pistol with an extended 30-round magazine. District Attorney Susan Howard said the gun was tested by a Niagara County lab and determined to be operable.

Kendrick is a prior felon after being convicted of selling cocaine in October 2016.

His attorney, Christian Catalano from the Public Defender’s Office, asked Judge Saford Church not to give Kendrick the five-year maximum in prison. Catalano said Kendrick has three young children and is recovering from back surgeries.

Kendrick said he has changed from his criminal past, which also includes charges in Georgia.

“As a person I have changed,” he said. “I just want to spend time with my kids. I’ll never do this again.”

Judge Church cited Kendrick’s “extensive criminal history” in giving him the maximum as part of a plea agreement.

In other cases in County Court today:

• Richard Neal, 36, of Medina was sentenced to six months in the county jail plus five years of probation for felony driving while intoxicated.

He was charged by State Police on Aug. 25 after allegedly driving a motorcycle on Route 31 in Ridgeway while intoxicated and without a license. He registered a BAC of 0.10 percent, just above the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He has a previous DWI conviction on May 29, 2025 in the City of Batavia.

Neal’s attorney, Public Defender Joanne Best, asked that Neal be sentenced to weekends in jail so he can continue working full-time.

But Judge Church said Neal didn’t do a substance abuse evaluation and was driving with a revoked license as well as being intoxicated.

Neal also needs to pay $570 in court fees and surcharges.

• Mitchell Gardner, a former inmate at Orleans Correctional Facility in Albion, pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated harassment of an employee by an inmate, a misdemeanor.

Gardner, 24, allegedly threw a cup of urine at a corrections officer and hit the officer in the face with the urine while in the Albion prison on Dec. 20, 2023. Gardner said he intended to hit another inmate with the urine, not a corrections officer.

Gardner was originally charged with aggravated harassment of an employee by an inmate.

Judge Church allowed him to plead to the misdemeanor and time served after being in the county jail for a few days. Gardner is now an inmate at Midstate Correctional Facility in Marcy, Oneida County. He is facing a felony charge there after allegedly biting a corrections officer.

He is currently serving an 8-year sentence for second-degree assault and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

• Glenn Quintern, 67, of Rochester was arraigned for second-degree grand larceny. The former Batavia resident allegedly stole a struck from Orleans Ford.

File photo by Tom Rivers: Seanna Corwin-Bradley speaks during a July 28, 2024 celebration for a new Barker village hall and public library. Corwin-Bradley was the village mayor at the time. She also served as president of the Barker public library. Barker celebrated the new building which opened 5 ½ years after the village hall and public library burned down on Jan. 20, 2019.

ALBION – A former mayor of Barker in Niagara County was sentenced today in Orleans County Court to six months in the county jail and then five years of probation for felony driving while intoxicated.

Seanna Corwin-Bradley, 42, of Barker was charged on July 22, 2025 with a BAC at .193, more than twice the legal limit. She was in a car accident on Ridge Road in Ridgeway, where she allegedly crossed the center line and sideswiped a camper that was being pulled by a truck. She has a previous DWI conviction in Erie County in September 2024.

Corwin-Bradley was driving with a conditional license and was returning from a trip to the Thousand Islands. That conditional license didn’t allow her to drive that distance, County Court Judge Sandford Church said in court today.

Corwin-Bradley was very apologetic and tearful during the sentencing.

“As a former public official, I understand how important public safety is,” she said during sentencing. “I think about the people I could have hurt every day. I thank God no one was hurt.”

Corwin-Bradley said she has learned to accept help and do the hard work of dealing with her alcohol addiction.

“I feel guilt every day,” she said. “I feel guilt every day. I don’t know if those feelings will ever go away.”

Corwin-Bradley said she is humbled by the support of her family and friends, her counselor and the community.

“No matter how far someone falls there is still hope,” she said. “It is possible to rebuild your life.”

Timothy Brooks, the attorney for Corwin-Bradley, said addiction is an “insidious, vicious disease.” He said Corwin-Bradley has been a very productive member of society. He asked that she just be sentenced to probation with no incarceration.

Judge Church said Corwin-Bradley has put others in danger with her drunken driving.

“You are a dangerous driver while drinking,” he said. “I need to do my best to protect society.”

In addition to six months in jail and five years of probation, Corwin-Bradley had her license revoked for a year, must use a inter-lock ignition device which measures her BAC and needs to pay $570 in court surcharges and fees.

Former Clarendon official avoids jail in plea agreement, must pay restitution

File photo: Melissa Ierlan

ALBION – Melissa Ierlan pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the fourth degree today in Orleans County Court, admitting to taking $62,000 without authorization from the Clarendon Historical Society when she was the group’s president.

Ierlan won’t have to go to jail, but will need to pay full restitution and will be on probation for five years as part of a plea agreement. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 26 by Orleans County Court Judge Sanford Church.

The amount of funds missing from the Clarendon Historical Society was down from the $102,752 initially determined by the state comptroller’s office. The comptroller’s office then lowered the amount to $70,000.

Ierlan was able to show how some of the funds were spent for the Historcial Society, said Susan Howard, the county’s district attorney.

Ierlan’s attorney George Muscato said the $62,000 “was a fair and reasonable number.”

Judge Church asked Ierlan, who was under oath this morning, if she stole money from the Clarendon Historical Society from Dec. 16, 2020 to Sept. 27, 2025. She replied yes.

She acknowledged she took actions to take the money out of the bank without authority. The Historical Society allowed her to be the sole signer for writing checks.

Ierlan worked many years as the Clarendon code enforcement officer and cemetery administrator. She also has been president of the Clarendon Historical Society. In the Historical Society role she is alleged to have falsified records to steal $102,752.

The grand larceny charge as an E felony would carry a maximum of 4 years in state prison. The charge was reduced from a C felony where more than $50,000 is stolen and the maximum would be 15 years.

One issue during the plea deal this morning was whether the Historical Society agrees to the $62,000 in restitution. Howard said the Historical Society is currently reorganizing and doesn’t have people in place yet.

“I want to know whoever gets the restitution agrees to the amount,” the judge said.

Howard said the Historical Society “was pretty much just her,” she said referring to Ierlan.

Howard said the community is working to add members to the Historical Society and get the organization functioning.

“By sentencing I hope there will be a Historical Society properly in place,” she said.

The plea agreement today also included an order of protection for a witness who helped inform authorities of the missing funds.

The judge continued to let Ierlan be free without bail. She was joined at the court appearance today by her family, including husband Fred Seeman, who likely won the Republican primary for town supervisor on Tuesday. He has a 15-vote lead over Marc Major with 16 potential absentee ballots that could come in.

ALBION – An Albion man admitted in Orleans County Court today that he was driving under the influence and without a license when he was driving recklessly in the village on May 18, crashing into two Albion patrol cars.

Timothy Ausman Jr., 56, of Albion pleaded guilty to two felonies in county court today, and faces a 1 to 3-year sentence in state prison when he is sentenced on Aug. 26.

Ausman pleaded guilty to aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and attempted criminal mischief in the second degree.

He has a previous DWI in 2010, which caused him to lose his driver’s license.

He appeared before County Court Judge Sanford Church this morning. Ausman agreed to pay $14,259 in restitution for damaging two Albion Police Department patrol cars. That restitution covers the cost of repairs, towing and getting decals replaced.

Ausman admitted that he intentionally drove into the patrol cars, intending to damage them, and said he had been drinking alcohol before driving on May 18.

Ausman has been in the county jail for about six weeks. Judge Church was asked by Public Defender Joanne Best to either reduce Ausman’s bail or let him be released on his own recognizance.

But Judge Church said he would keep bail at $10,000 cash, $20,000 insurance bond and $50,000 ten percent partially secured bail bond.

In other cases:

• Mohammed Ayash, 35, of Cheektowaga was arraigned for criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree and criminal nuisance in the second degree.

Ayash, owner of D-R Smoke Shop in Albion, was charged in September after undercover controlled buys by the Orleans County major Felony Crimes Task Force.

One of the numerous controlled buys was a chocolate bar infused with mushrooms (Psilocin) which is a controlled substance classified as a hallucinogen.

Ayash entered not guilty pleas to the charges in court this morning.

• Allan Bieber, 22, admitted to violating terms of his probation. Judge Church said they were substantial violations and revoked Bieber’s probation and will sentence him up to a year in the county jail on July 22.

Bieber in December was sentenced to 10 years of probation for third-degree rape for having sex with a 15-year-old girl at St. Joseph’s Park on South Clinton Street on April 25. Bieber is a first-time offender.

He has missed many of his appointments for probation, a job training program, sex offender counseling and mental health counseling. Those appointments are terms of his probation.

Former Ogden police officer also was briefly chief deputy of Orleans County Sheriff’s Office

Steven Ploof

ROCHESTER – Steven Ploof, who briefly was chief deputy of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office in 2023, was sentenced to 14 months in prison on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Meredith A. Vacca.

Ploof, 48, of Greece was convicted of threatening to assault a member of the immediate family of a federal law enforcement officer with the intent to impeding that law enforcement officer while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with intent to retaliate against such law enforcement officer on account of the performance of official duties.

Ploof, who worked 16 years for the Ogden Police Department, resigned from the Orleans County in June 2023 after being put on administrative leave relating to suspected drug use, according to Channel 10 News in Rochester.

Ploof on September 15, 2025, went to the Ogden residence of an FBI special agent and his family. When he arrived at the house, Ploof placed two posterboard signs on the front porch. One sign read “Corrupt FBI AGENT!” and the other sign read “I Want To (expletive) Your Kids!”

Video of Ploof placing the two signs on the front porch was obtained from a residential security system, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Everardo A. Rodriguez, who is handling the case for U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo of the Western District of New York.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Allen D. Davis II, the Greece Police Department, under the direction of Acting Chief Ryan Parina, the Ogden Police Department, under the direction of Chief Travis Gray, and the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Christopher Bourke.

ALBION – Two people from Rochester pleaded guilty in Orleans County Court on Wednesday to felony drug charges.

Both have no prior criminal history.

Tamage Faison, 19, pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 5th degree for having cocaine in Albion on March 4.

As part of a plea agreement, there are no sentencing promises. He could face a 1 to 2 ½ year sentence in state prison or the judge could sentence Faison to the county jail or probation.

Faison will be sentenced on Sept. 23.

Another Rochester resident, Malcolm Power, pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 3rd degree.

Power, 21, was found passed out in a car in Medina on May 14 with drugs in his backpack, said Susan Howard, the Orleans County district attorney.

The victim of the crime spoke in court and said Senko manipulated her and sexually abused her.

“I lost my friends, my confidence and myself,” she said. “He twisted to my mind to think I was special.”

“My lack of good, sound decision-making will forever haunt me,” he told County Court Judge Sanford Church.

The judge issued an order of protection for the victim for the next 10 years. Senko also will need to pay $1,425 in court fees and fines.

In another sentencing, Wilfred Barnes, 66, of Carlton was given five years of probation plus four months of weekends in jail for felony driving while intoxicated. He was stopped on Nov. 26 on Ridge Road in Gaines and registered a BAC of 0.12 percent, which is above the legal limit of 0.08. Barnes has a previous DWI in 2020.

Judge Church also revoked Barnes’s driver’s license for a year and will require an inter-lock ignition device that measures his BAC when he drives in the future.

In another case, Nevada Nichols, 31, of Batavia pleaded guilty to one count of fourth-degree grand larceny, a class E felony.

She admitted to stealing $1,413 in merchandise from the Albion Wal-Mart, which is above the $1,000 threshold for fourth-degree grand larceny.

The charge could carry 1 1/3 to 4 years in state prison, but Nichols could receive time in the county jail or probation when she is sentenced on Sept. 23.

In another case, the judge said he is considering revoking the probation for an Albion man and having him spend a year in the county jail.

ALBION – An Albion man was sentenced to 1 ½ to 3 years in state prison on Wednesday in Orleans County Court.

Stacy Moss, 36, pleaded guilty on April 1 to criminal contempt in the first degree and attempted burglary in the third degree. Moss, formerly of Medina, is a second-felony offender.

The charges originated in the Town of Shelby on November 14, 2025. Moss, in an April 1 county court appearance, admitted to going to the residence of a person he was supposed to not have contact with through an order of protection. He went to that residence on Nov. 14 and he acknowledged he tried to break down her door and threatened to kill her. He admitted to violating the order of protection.

Stanley Jenks

ALBION – A Lyndonville man pleaded guilty in Orleans County Court today to first-degree attempted sex abuse involving a child under age 11.

Stanley Jenks, 55, could face a maximum sentence of 1 1/3 to 4 years in state prison when he is sentenced on July 1.

He was arrested on March 10 for sex abuse in the first degree. As part of a plea agreement, he admitted to attempted sex abuse in the first degree, by trying to have a child under age 11 touch his penis. Jenks said he did that for his own sexual gratification.

Orleans County Court Judge Sanford Church told Jenks the maximum sentence could be up to 4 years in state prison. Jenks also could face 3 to 10 years of post-release supervision and will be on the sex offender registry.

Jenks has been in the Orleans County jail since his arrest on March 10 with bail at $2,500 cash, $25,000 bond.

Public defender Joanne Best asked that Jenks be released on his own recognizance. District attorney Susan Howard asked the judge that bail continue.

Judge Church set bail at $5,000 cash and $10,000 bond.

ALBION – A former Lyndonville man was sentenced to 1 ½ years in state prison today by Orleans County Court Judge Sanford Church.

Carl Ostrander, 42, on Jan. 21 pleaded guilty to first degree attempted sexual abuse that occurred in the town of Yates.

The female victim, who was under 13 when Ostrander touched her in her private parts, spoke during the sentencing and said Ostrander has ruined her mental health and self esteem.

“You are more dangerous than you appear on paper,” she said. “I want everyone in the court to know that.”

She asked Judge Church to impose the maximum sentence. Ostrander was charged for sexual misdemeanor crimes against two other underage girls but those charges were dismissed after he was declared mentally incompetent. However, he was later deemed fit to stand trial and he faced the felony charge.

His attorney, Jeffrey Mallaber, said Ostrander suffered a traumatic brain injury in his youth that is a contributing factor in the case.

Judge Church said a TBI shouldn’t be blamed for Ostrander’s actions, which the judge said were intentional acts.

Ostrander, who recently moved to Lockport, did not speak during his sentencing today.

The judge gave him the maximum sentence as part of a plea agreement. Ostrander also will be on post-release supervision for 10 years and will be on the sex offender registry. The judge also issued an order of protection for the victim who spoke in court today.
