ALBION – Five people were arraigned in Orleans County Court on Monday after being arrested last month for allegedly manufacturing methamphetamine in downtown Albion.The five people were arrested on April 19 after police searched an apartment and discovered methamphetamine was allegedly being produced at the site, 28A East Bank St.

Albion police officers executed a search warrant at the apartment. The warrant was related to a police investigation from a burglary that occurred on April 11 at the Vape Shop, 15 East Bank St.

As a result of the search warrant, the Police Department recovered stolen property from a burglary. The search warrant also resulted in the seizure of over 4 ounces of methamphetamine and the volatile chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine, Police Chief Roland Nenni said last month.

The methamphetamine was being produced in the apartment and was in production when the search warrant was executed, the police chief said.

Judge James Punch arraigned the five all on felony charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine in the third degree, and criminal possession of precursors of methamphetamine.

The following were arraigned in County Court:

Tara A. Ryan, 19 of 28A East Bank St., Albion; Nicholas D. Barrett, 19, of 28A East Bank St., Albion; Ryan J. Adkins, 22, of 80 Genesee St., Apt. 6, Lockport; Maja L. Pugh, 19, of 80 Genesee St., Apt. 6, Lockport; and Bridgette A.M. Fronczak-Reilly, 19, of 80 Genesee St., Apt. 6, Lockport.

Four of the five remain in the county jail on $30,000 bail. Pugh has posted bail. All entered not guilty pleas.

In another case in County Court, a Batavia man made his first appearance in County Court after being arrested on April 18 by the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office on multiple charges related to the sexual abuse and rape of a 5-year-old child.

Nicholas L. McKague, 24, of West Main Street Road in Batavia faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child and course of sexual conduct against a child.

His arraignment was not complete on Monday because the court wants to see if he is eligible for the public defender. He will be arraigned with counsel on Friday at 11 a.m.

ALBION – Four people were arraigned in Orleans County Court today for second-degree attempted gang assault.The four allegedly attacked a person on April 5 on Beaver Street in Albion, kicking and punching the victim.

Christopher Rivers, 19, of Sandy Creek Apartments was among the alleged perpetrators. He was to be sentenced today for criminal possession of a firearm and could have faced up to a year in jail. But that sentencing was put off because of the latest charge.

Judge James Punch also increased the bail for Rivers from $100,000 to $150,000. Matthew Parrinello, attorney for Rivers, asked that the bail be reduced to $20,000, which is where it was before the latest charge, which was initially disorderly conduct but was upgraded to attempted gang assault. Parrinello said Rivers had very little criminal activity prior to the two recent charges.

District Attorney Joe Cardone said the latest alleged crime happened while Rivers was out of jail awaiting sentencing on the weapons charge. Cardone asked that bail not be reduced.

“Things are getting worse, not better,” Punch said in raising the bail.

Three other Albion men were arraigned today for second-degree attempted gang assault. They include:

Ashay S. Gaffney, 22, of Crimson Heights. The judge set bail at $20,000.

Sharoz R. Haywood, 19, of Lyndun Drive Extension. The judge set bail at $20,000.

Jasper D. Lloyd, 22, of Lydun Drive Extension. He said he is hiring a private attorney and will be fully arraigned on Friday with his lawyer.

John P. Klotzbach

ALBION – A Gaines resident has been arrested for conspiracy and weapons charges after an investigation regarding the illegal purchase of a gun by a third party, also known as a “Straw Purchase,” at a local gun shop in the Village of Albion, the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force is reporting.

John P. Klotzbach, 66, of 13563 Ridge Rd., was charged on May 20 following an investigation by the Task Force, the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office.

Klotzbach allegedly attempted to purchase a shotgun and refused to complete the required ATF form 4473 for the federal background check and was subsequently denied the purchase.

Several days later, a female acquaintance allegedly went into the gun store and wanted to purchase the same gun that Mr. Klotzbach attempted to buy. The gun store owner became suspicious when he noticed the woman was riding in the same vehicle as Klotzbach, as well as attempting to purchase the same gun that Klotzbach wanted. The store owner then contacted law enforcement authorities.

While taking Klotzbach into custody at his Ridge Road home, deputies found him to be in possession of a loaded sawed-off shotgun, the Task Force reported.

Klotzbach was charged with one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a Class D felony, and one count of conspiracy in the fifth degree, a misdemeanor.

He was arraigned in the Shelby Town Court by Town Justice Dawn Keppler, who remanded him to the county jail on $10,000 bail. He is to appear in Gaines Town Court on May 25 at 3 p.m.

The investigation is ongoing and further arrests and charges are pending, the Task Force reported. Klotzbach could also face federal charges.

Thompson

MEDINA – Two Medina men face drug charges following an investigation into the sale and distribution of crack cocaine and Suboxone in the Village of Medina, the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force is reporting today.

The arrests were made after a pair of sealed indictments were handed up from the Orleans County Grand Jury. On May 17 and May 18, the two men were arrested by the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office.

The following were charged:

Jones

Michael D. Thompson, 49, of 525 West Ave., Apt. 7. He was charged with three counts each of criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, which are Class B felonies.

Robert D. Jones, 25, of 515 West Ave., Apt. 1A. He was charged with one count each of criminal sale and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, which are Class D felonies.

Both Thompson and Jones were arraigned in Orleans County Curt by Judge James Punch. Thompson was committed to Orleans County Jail on $15,000 bail. Jones was remanded to jail on $5,000 bail. Both are due back in County Court today at 2 p.m.

Further arrests and charges are pending in this investigation, the Task Force reported.

ALBION – A Medina man was sentenced to six months in Orleans County Jail today after he pleaded guilty on March 14 to attempted burglary in the second degree.

Michael Santoro, 23, of Gwinn Street could have faced a state prison sentence. Santoro has been off drugs for 9 ½ months, been committed to a drug treatment program and has a full-time job. He has turned his life around, he told Judge James Punch during sentencing this afternoon.

“I’m not the same boy who committed the crime,” Santoro said.

He admitted in March to breaking into a house in Ridgeway between April 26 and May 1, 2015, and taking jewelry and other items. He was ordered today to pay $5,018 in restitution to the victims in the crime, and $2,500 to State Farm Insurance. He is to begin paying over three years when he gets out of jail.

Santoro’s attorney, Nathan Pace, asked for no jail time for Santoro, given his recovery and new direction, as well as no prior felonies.

“He was in such a mess, but he has gotten himself clean,” Pace told the judge.

But Punch said some jail time was necessary given the severity of the crime as a home invasion.

Punch told Santoro he needs to be vigilant in staying away from drugs.

“Nine and half months is a good start, but that’s all it is,” Punch told Santoro. “These are powerful addictions that you will have to work on for years and years to come.”

ALBION – A man who broke into a convenience store in Medina last year and stole $350 was sentenced to 2 to 4 years in state prison on Monday.

Gregory Thompson, 48, of Medina was ordered to pay restitution, and Judge James Punch also issued an order of protection for the owner of the Stop N Shop on East Center Street.

Thompson has a lengthy criminal history. He apologized for the crime in court on Monday.

“He does have a long history of substance abuse,” said his attorney, Dominic Saraceno. “It has affected and it has been a contributing factor in his criminal conduct.”

Thompson requested he be sentenced to the Willard Drug Treatment Center in the state prison system. Thompson has spent the past nine months in the county jail, and he said he has used that time to reflect on his life and commit to a new way of living.

“I’m just trying to put myself back on track,” he told Punch. “I do need help.”

Punch said he has sentenced Thompson several times before, and Thompson was often “an angry, difficult defendant.” But the judge said he was willing to give Thompson a chance at Willard. If Thompson was unsuccessful there, he would complete his sentence in a regular state prison, Punch said.

“Your record is horrible, but this is your first time admitting fault,” Punch said. “I hope you get some help.”

In another case in County Court, a Rochester man pleaded guilty to selling cocaine to an undercover informant from Orleans County.

Alexander J. DeHoyos, 34, will face a maximum of 4 years in state prison. He admitted to selling the cocaine on May 19, 2015. He will be sentenced on Aug. 22 for attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree.

DeHoyos was admitted to the Elmira Correctional Facility in March after being sentenced in Monroe County for second-degree assault.

David P. Perry Sr.

KENDALL – A Kendall man, who was arrested in March on multiple charges related to sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of five girls ranging in age from 13 to 15, could now face federal charges for child pornography, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office is reporting today.

David P. Perry Sr., 67, of Norway Road was arrested on March 9 with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, one count of criminal sexual act in the third degree, and one count of sexual abuse in the third degree.

Perry allegedly forced juvenile victims to smoke marijuana and drink alcoholic wine and vodka over several months in 2015. At times, the victims would reportedly consume these substances to the point of becoming impaired and intoxicated, Undersheriff Chris Bourke said.

Perry would allegedly make them undress, then he would perform various criminal sexual acts and sexual abuse. It is also alleged that Perry would force the victims to pose for pictures while undressed or partially dressed.

The initial allegations resulted in a search warrant that was executed in January 2016. A computer and portable hard drive were submitted to the Western New York Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory in Buffalo N.Y. for analysis, Bourke said today.

Upon receiving the report and analysis from WNYRCFL, and consultation with Orleans County District Attorney Joseph Cardone, Perry was arrested today and charged with 15 counts of possession of an obscene sexual performance by a child less than 16 years old.

Perry was arraigned by Town of Murray Justice Ted Spada, who set bail at $250,000 cash/bond.

Approximately 15,000 images of suspected child pornography were found on Perry’s devices that were submitted for analysis. Many of the images found were children between the ages of 2 and 9 years of age, Bourke said.

In addition to the charges in Orleans County, Bourke said that Sheriff’s investigators and The Orleans County District Attorney’s office will be working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Buffalo for possible federal prosecution as well.

Investigator Shannon Brett was assisted in this investigation by Investigator Ken Strickland of the Sheriff’s Office.

Perry is scheduled to return to the Town Of Kendall Court on May 16 at 5:30 p.m.

MURRAY – A Hilton woman allegedly assaulted two Orleans County deputies on Sunday, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office said today.

Sara J. Harris, 34, of Hilton allegedly “head butted” Deputy Josh Narburgh in the face, causing a cut and swelling, and bit down on Deputy Devon Pahuta’s arm, breaking the skin, Undersheriff Chris Bourke said today.

Harris faces multiple charges following the incident in the Town of Murray. Deputies responded to a call at 6:20 a.m. on Sunday, when the 911 center received a frantic call for help from a residence located on Route 31 in Murray.

Deputies arrived and a man in the residence stated that his girlfriend was intoxicated, and had left the house following an altercation. It was also reported that she had an 8-year-old child with her and was bleeding from the leg.

As deputies were arriving in the area, Deputy Narburgh located Harris walking along Route 31. Narburgh reported that Harris then ran into a wooded area pulling and dragging the 8-year-child. Narburgh located Harris in a field.

Harris then allegedly physically resisted being handcuffed and did become disorderly, using profane and racially charged language towards deputies, Bourke said.

While in the patrol vehicle, Harris attempted to kick the windows out and banged her head on the partition. While being transported to Strong Memorial Hospital for an evaluation, Harris allegedly became so out of control that an ambulance was called for her safety. While transferring Harris from the patrol vehicle to the ambulance, Harris allegedly was screaming, kicking and spitting on deputies.

She allegedly “head butted” Narburgh in the face and bit Deputy Pahuta’s arm. Deputy Martin Stirk also assisted at the scene. The deputies were treated for their injuries and released.

Harris on Monday was charged with disorderly conduct, endangering the welfare of a child, obstructing governmental administration, two counts of resisting arrest, and two counts of second degree assault on a police officer.

Harris was arraigned by Town of Murray Justice Gary Passarell. Bail was set at $500 and Harris is scheduled to appear in Murray Town Court on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.

Press Release, U.S. Attorney William Hochul’s Office

BUFFALO – U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Rico Vendetti, 45, of Rochester was sentenced to 240 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara. Vendetti was convicted of racketeering following a home invasion robbery that led to the death of an elderly Medina man.

In addition, Donald Griffin, 28, of Rochester, who was convicted of committing murder in aid of racketeering, was sentenced to 240 months in prison as well.

“This case – which began with shoplifting and ended with murder – justly earned the defendant a lengthy sentence in federal prison,” said U.S. Attorney Hochul. “As the case also demonstrates, this Office will utilize all of the tools given by Congress, including the racketeering laws, to bring organized criminals to justice. While unfortunately nothing law enforcement does can restore Mr. Marciniak to his family, certainly today’s sentence brings a measure of closure in that justice has been served.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott S. Allen, Jr., who, along with retired Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony M. Bruce, handled the case, stated that beginning in approximately 2005, the defendant utilized a number of shoplifters who engaged in shoplifting of items from stores such as Walmart, Sears, Target, JoAnn Fabrics, Home Depot, Tops Markets, Wegman’s, and various chain drug stores, most of which were located in Monroe and Genesee counties.

The shoplifters stole merchandise that Vendetti told them he needed which he subsequently sold through eBay accounts he maintained. The defendant paid the shoplifters would buy from the boosters, the defendant told them he would pay them about 25¢ on the dollar of the normal retail price of the merchandise. Using the defendant’s merchandise lists, the shoplifters went into the stores, at times alone and at times in teams, to shoplift.

Among the items stolen in this fashion were breast pumps, Crest Whitestrips, cross stitch and needlepoint kits, electric toothbrushes and replacement heads, computer memory sticks and flash drives, pet supplements and DNA tests for pets, razors, razor blades and replacement razor heads, tool sets, vacuum cleaners, binoculars, batteries, plumbing fixtures and KitchenAid mixers. In total, Vendetti obtained and then sold over $700,000 in merchandise.

In July 2010, the defendant, the former owner of Eastside Gold & Car Audio, formerly in Rochester, hired co-defendant Arlene Combs to travel from Rochester to the Medina home of 78-year-old Homer Marciniak to steal Marciniak’s valuable comic book collection. Combs recruited co-defendants Griffin, Albert Parsons, and Juan Javier for the home invasion, promising each $1,000.

In executing their plan, in the early morning hours of July 4, 2010, Combs, along with Griffin, Parson, and Javier, drove from Rochester to Medina and cut Marciniak’s phone line. In the early morning hours of the following day, July 5, 2010, the gang returned to Marciniak’s home. Wearing ski masks and gloves, Griffin, Parsons, and Javier forcibly entered Marciniak’s home through a first story window.

During the course of the burglary, Marciniak, who had a serious heart condition, woke and confronted the burglars. Griffin struck Marciniak in the face and then, along with Javier, bound his hands with bed linens. Javier then verbally threatened Marciniak with a BB gun in hand. Griffin, Parsons, and Javier ultimately located the comic book collection along with several strong boxes containing cash, coins, and other valuables.

After Griffin, Parsons, and Javier fled the scene with Combs, Marciniak freed himself and was taken to Medina Memorial Hospital for treatment of his facial injuries. After Marciniak was treated and released, however, he suffered a heart attack, was re-admitted to the hospital, and died shortly thereafter. Medical experts concluded that the blow Griffin struck, as well as the emotional trauma caused by the burglary, directly contributed to Marciniak’s cardiac arrest and resulting death.

Griffin, Parsons, and Javier gave the comic books to Combs who, along with another codefendant, Terry Stewart, took the comic books to Vendetti later in the day on July 5. When Vendetti learned that the burglary resulted in Marciniak’s death, Vendetti disposed of the comic books.

Law enforcement officials within the Rochester Police Department identified the defendants during the course of a separate investigation in October 2010. The defendants were arrested soon thereafter. Soon after the arrest, Vendetti attempted to obstruct justice by agreeing to have a phony witness submit a false affidavit, and by telling codefendant Brandon Meade to “keep his mouth shut” if approached by law enforcement.

Convicted in connection with this case:

Rico Vendetti was convicted of racketeering and sentenced to 240 months in federal prison on April 20, 2016.

Donald Griffin was convicted of committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering: murder, and sentenced to 240 months in federal prison on April 19, 2016.

Arlene Combs was convicted of racketeering and sentenced to 240 months in federal prison on March 22, 2016.

Albert Parsons was convicted of a violent crime in aid of racketeering: assault resulting in bodily injury, and is scheduled to be sentenced on June 9, 2016.

Juan Javier, who was 17 at the time of the burglary, was prosecuted as an adult in Orleans County, and sentenced to seven years in state prison.

Terry Stewart was convicted of racketeering and was sentenced to 55 months in federal prison.

Dayon Shaver was convicted of conspiring to traffic in stolen goods across state lines on March 21, 2016, and was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison.

Brandon Meade was convicted of conspiring to traffic in stolen goods across state lines and was sentenced on January 21, 2016 to time-served after serving nine months in federal prison.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation on the part of Special Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Adam S. Cohen, the New York State Police, under the direction of Major Craig Hanesworth, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department, under the direction of Sheriff Scott Hess, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, under the direction of Sheriff Patrick O’Flynn, the Medina Police Department, under the direction of Chief Jose Avila and Officers from the Rochester Police Department, under the direction of Chief Michael Ciminelli. Special assistance was provided by Orleans County District Attorney Joseph Cardone.

7 arrested after warrant issued to find stolen property

ALBION – Five people have been arrested after police searched an East Bank Street apartment this morning and discovered methamphetamine was being produced at the site, 28A East Bank St.

Albion police officers executed a search warrant at the apartment. The warrant was related to a police investigation from a burglary that occurred on April 11 at the Vape Shop, 15 East Bank St., Police Chief Roland Nenni said.

As a result of the search warrant, the Police Department recovered stolen property from a burglary. The search warrant also resulted in the seizure of over 4 ounces of methamphetamine and the volatile chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine, Nenni said.

The methamphetamine was being produced in the apartment and was in production when the search warrant was executed, the police chief said.

“Methamphetamine is extremely dangerous to produce and is just as dangerous when ingested,” Nenni said. “Today’s arrests resulted in a dangerous operation being shut down and a large amount of methamphetamine being taken off the street.”

Albion Police were assisted by a specialized team from the New York State Police that handles the mitigation of methamphetamine production operations and by the Orleans County Major Felony Crime Task Force. The methamphetamine seized will be sent to a criminal laboratory for official testing. The chemicals and precursors used in the methamphetamine production were rendered safe and will be taken to a hazardous waste disposal site.

As a part of the investigation the Albion Police were assisted by the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office in an additional search warrant execution on a vehicle on East Bank Street operated by a suspect who was taken into custody. That search warrant resulted in the seizure of additional stolen property.
