An Erie County man has been accused of selling narcotics to a Genesee County undercover agent.
John L. Tillman, 34, of 87 Phyllis Ave., Buffalo, was picked up by the Erie County Warrants Office and turned over to the Genesee County Sheriff's Office today.
Tillman is charged with two counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance 3rd and criminal possession of a controlled substance 3rd.
The Genesee County Local Drug Enforcement Task Force received a sealed indictment against Tillman after he allegedly sold crack cocaine in the City of Batavia to an undercover agent.
Tillman was arraigned in Genesee County Court and jailed without bail.
Batavia-based Graham Corporation is bouncing back from the economic downturn, CEO James R. Lines told the Buffalo News.
The company has recently booked $37 million in orders and that revenue should start hitting the books by the fall.
“We believe that sales over the next few quarters will continue to reflect the sporadic nature of order receipt that began over a year ago,” Lines said. “We also believe this should be the bottom of the cycle for us.”
Graham still expects its sales during the fiscal year that ends in March to be between $60 million and $65 million, down from its record sales of $101 million the year before.
We might see a little sun on what Weather Underground calls a "partly cloudy" day, but we're more likely to see a little more snow.

Wanted by the Genesee County Sheriff's Office: Gene S. Schmidt. The Sheriff's Office has two warrants for Schmidt: Alleged violation of probation and alleged harassment 2nd. Any information on his whereabouts can be provided to the Sheriff's Office at (585) 343-5000.
A 43-year-old teller for Bank of Castile is accused of stealing $45,000 from the Le Roy branch where she worked.
Tracy L. Smith, of 77 Rochester St., Bergen, was arrested by Le Roy Police Detective John Condidorio after a lengthy investigation.
Condidorio says that Smith's alleged thefts began in 2007 when she stole $20,000 from her cash drawer over a period of time. Smith allegedly manipulated the accounting system to cover up the theft.
Then, starting in June 2008 and continuing until December, Smith allegedly forged checks and deposit slips to steal another $25,000.
An alleged attempt by Smith to cover her tracks by removing a $20,000 lump sum from a cash delivery is what caused an investigation into her conduct to begin.
Smith is charged with two counts of grand larceny 3rd and four counts of forgery 2nd.
The Bank of Castile, through the Le Roy Police Department, is asking customers to review bank statements and notify the bank immediately if any unusual activity is found.
Assisting in the investigation was the Buffalo office of the FBI and the Bank of Castile.
