Habitual criminal gets two years in jail
LOCKPORT — State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. on Thursday appealed to a steady criminal to get his life together, as the judge sentenced him to two years in jail for a pair of misdemeanors.
Kloch told Gregory Vincent, 30, that he had calculated that since Vincent was 16, judges had assigned him a total of 160.5 months of jail time, not counting Thursday’s sentences for third-degree assault and petit larceny.
“You’re doing a life sentence by installments,” Kloch remarked of Vincent’s seven previous incarcerations. The new sentence will be served after Vincent completes a 15-month term for violating parole.
Vincent, of Cleveland Avenue, Niagara Falls, joined a woman in attacking another woman with a knife and a bottle in Niagara Falls on Nov. 9, 2006. He also stole two computers, speakers, a fax machine and cash from a roommate Oct. 24, 2006.
