BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A former Erie County Sheriff's deputy will serve prison time for violating a domestic violence order of protection by possessing a gun.
Michael Blajszczak, 54 of Clarence, was sentenced to one year in prison Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara.
According to prosecutors, Blajszczak knowingly possessed a .22 caliber rifle and 11 rounds of ammunition on May 2, 2019, less than a week after a six-month order of protection was issued against him in Cheektowaga Town Court.
Blajszczak, who earned $71,760 in 2019, is no longer a sheriff's deputy.
