A man accused of attempting to break into a Graham Manufacturing building on Aug. 14 plead guilty today to attempted burglary.
There are apparently other unindicted co-conspirators, District Attorney Lawrence Friedman indicated in court, and Robert S. Douglas of Batavia will be expected to testify against them if they ever come to trial.
In exchange for his guilty plea and promise to testify, Douglas could receive a prison sentence of only one-and-a-half to three years.
Douglas, who has a prior felony DWI conviction and appeared in court in chains and the orange prison garb of the Genesee County Jail, was scheduled to be released following his guilty plea under supervision of Genesee Justice with a curfew of 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. He is married and has a child.
The Batavia Police Department has not previously released information on break-ins at the Graham building. Yet there is some hint from the court proceedings today, that there was more than one break-in that Douglas and possible cohorts were involved in. In addition, news of Douglas' arrest previously was not released (at least, at the moment, I can't find any record of any such release).
