Man who assaulted deputy facing up to seven years in prison

By Howard B. Owens

A Batavia man admitted today that he assaulted a Sheriff's deputy when the deputy arrested him on a failure-to-appear warrant.

The deputy was not seriously injured, by Ryan Lee Krupp, 24, who fled his Pringle Avenue residence and wasn't captured until the following day.

As part of his plea bargain, Krupp also admitted to escape in the second degree.

The two felonies make Krupp a second-time felony offender in New York. In 2005, he was convicted of burglary in the third degree.

He's facing three to seven years in state prison. Judge Robert Noonan will impose sentence after a pre-sentence review is completed by Genesee Justice.

In exchange for his plea on the two felonies, other charges against Krupp were satisfied, according to District Attorney Lawrence Friedman. Those charges include promotion of prison contraband, grand larceny (Friedman said a stolen credit card was found in Krupp's residence) and the charge behind the original failure to appear, possession of a forged instrument.
