Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita, III announced that 30 year-old Maurice Brice of 65 Person Street, Buffalo, will be arraigned at 9:30 a.m. before County Court Judge Sheila A. DiTullio on an indictment charging him with Burglary in the Second Degree, Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree and Intimidating a Victim or Witness in the Third Degree.

It is alleged that on March 26, 2012 Brice burglarized a home in Buffalo and stole $23,000.00.  It is further alleged that on July 1, 2013, Brice warned the victim not to testify and fired two shots at her in an effort to intimate her.
