Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita, III announced today that 26 year old Alfred Tatman of 5378 Big Tree Road, Orchard Park, pleaded guilty as charged before Supreme Court Justice Penny M.

The case was successfully prosecuted by ADA Paul Bonanno, Chief of DA Sedita’s Felony Trial Bureau.

Tatman faces a maximum sentence of 50 years in state prison when he is sentenced before Justice Wolfgang on June 7, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.  Kevin Zimmerman and Jeffrey Zimmerman’s cases are pending.
