DA Flynn also commends the Erie County Clerk’s Office, Erie County Sheriff’s Office and DA’s Office Confidential Criminal Investigator Natalie Perez for their work in the investigation.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Brian P. Dassero of the DA’s Special Investigations and Prosecutions (SIP) Bureau.
