Batavia drug dealer sentenced to eight years in prison

By Traci Turner

A Batavia man involved in the Summit Street raid in December received eight years in state prison yesterday, the maximum sentence available to Judge Robert C. Noonan.

Philip R. Ayala, 30, of Summit Street, was given the maximum sentence after he was arrested on additional felony possession of a controlled substance charges earlier today.

The recent charges result from an incident on July 9 when Ayala was arrested on a sealed indictment warrant out of Orleans County while on Vine Street in Batavia. When Ayala was arrested, he allegedly possessed 62 bags of crack cocaine.

Those charges violate the plea offer he accepted in June regarding the raid in December.

On June 3, Ayala pled guilty to fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a Class C felony. After a $40,000 bond was posted for him, he was released until sentencing scheduled for Aug. 4. With the plea deal, he would have received no more than five years in prison if he didn't break any more laws prior to the sentencing date.

Due to Ayala's additional pending drug charges after he was released, Noonan adjourned the sentencing yesterday to conduct a pre-sentencing investigation. The sentencing resumed after Ayla was arrested today.

Assistant District Attorney Will Zickl requested that Ayala be given the max.

"One thing that is clear is the defendant is deeply committed to drug dealing and undertakes it as a business venture," Zickl said. "Ayala's criminal record and recent charges suggest he will never stop dealing drugs."

Ayala's attorney Jamie Welch argued that the defendant didn't violate the plea offer because he wasn't arrested prior to the original date of sentencing, Aug. 4. As a result, he stated the judge should impose no more than five years in prison.

Ayala made a short statement telling the judge he knew what he did was wrong and that he was sorry.

After hearing all the statements, Noonan said this was not the first time he has adjourned a sentencing to conduct an investigation after a defendant has been accused of additional charges. Noonan stated Ayala did violate the offer and should receive a longer prison sentence. Thus, Ayala was sentenced to eight years in state prison and three years post-release supervision.

Suzanne Corona admits to drug dealing felony

By Howard B. Owens

Suzanne Corona, infamous because of her 2010 arrest on an adultery charge, and who's been in and out of trouble with the law ever since, admitted this morning to her first felony conviction.

In Genesee County Court, as part of a plea deal, Corona entered a guilty plea to a single count of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance, 5th, a Class E felony.

As a result, she faces up to one-and-a-half years in jail, but as a first-time felony offender, and no limitation on her sentence as part of the deal, Judge Robert C. Noonan will have latitude to give her a shorter jail term or even probation.

She is scheduled to be sentenced at 1:30 p.m., Sept. 29.

Corona admitted to selling an amount of suboxone to an agent of the Local Drug Task Force in May 2014.

As part of the plea deal, she agreed to restitution to the county of $60.

The story of Suzanne Corona made international tabloids in June 2010 after a Batavia police officer responded to a complaint in Farrall Park of a couple engaged in sexual activity. The officer, knowing Corona and knowing the man she was with wasn't her husband, charged her with adultery, a seldom used criminal charge in the State of New York. In the following months and years, Corona was arrested on a series of petty theft charges, and then didn't make the news for a long time prior to this arrest.

She was initially charged with fourth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Rochester man arraigned for burglary in Byron

By Traci Turner

A Rochester man pled not guilty during his arraignment in Genesee County Court today.

Victor J. Grimes, 25, of Rochester, was indicted by the Grand Jury for burglary in the second degree, a Class C violent felony.

Grimes allegedly entered a dwelling on Cockram Road in the Town of Byron with the intent to commit a crime on May 28, 2013.

His attorney Lisa Kroemer requested that he be released under supervision instead of being held on bail.

District Attorney Lawrence Friedman objected to Kroemer's request.

"Grimes' criminal record is long for his young age," Friedman said. "He has criminal contempt charges, false impersonation charges and he has a prior felony conviction. He also failed to appear in court five times."

Kroemer stated the felony conviction was incorrect and Grimes had no recollection of serving a year in jail for the conviction.

Judge Robert C. Noonan called for a recess to confirm the felony conviction with Monroe County Court.

Court officials did confirm Grimes was convicted of first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, a Class E felony, in August 2012. However, the Monroe County Court documents were incorrect and he was sentenced to four weekends in jail instead of one year.

Due to the prior felony conviction, Judge Noonan stated he would have to modify the bail status.

Kroemer asked Judge Noonan to set a reasonable bail because Grimes works full time in Rochester and supports his children. 

Friedman stated Grimes faces an indeterminate sentence of up to 15 years in state prison and requested bail be set according to the seriousness of the crime.

Judge Noonan ordered Grimes to be held on $7,500 bail. Oral arguments are set for Oct. 1.
