BUFFALO, N.Y.-Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Justin Vazquez, 30, of Buffalo, NY, who was convicted by a federal jury of damaging government property, was sentenced to 10 months in prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Frank P. Geraci.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Adler, who handled the case, stated that on Oct. 20, 2016, during a status conference prior to trial on a firearm’s charge, Vazquez carved a vulgar obscenity into a wooden table in the courtroom of Chief Judge Geraci.
In May of 2017, the defendant was convicted of the firearm charge and sentenced to 72 months in prison. Today’s 10 months sentence will be served consecutive to that sentence.
Today’s sentencing is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Marshal’s Service, under the direction of Marshal Charles Salina.
