A former Batavia resident convicted of three felonies in Wyoming County who got married, changed his name and then fought extradiction from West Virginia is back in jail awaiting sentencing April 5.
Eric J. Motzer, 25, now goes by the name Eric J. Disalvo after getting married Sept. 21 in front of a Genesee County Justice of the Peace.
He was convicted by a jury in Wyoming County Sept. 14 of criminal sale of marijuana, 2nd, rape, 2nd, criminal sexual act, 2nd, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Up until Sept. 22, when he was scheduled for sentencing Motzer/Disalvo, who was out of jail on $5,000 bail, had made all of his court appearances.
He didn't show up that day and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Clay County Sheriff's deputies apprehended Motzer/Disalvo on Oct. 5.
He fought extradition on the grounds that his name was Eric J. Disalvo, not Eric J. Motzer, according to a Wyoming County Sheriff's Office press release.
According to the release, on Feb. 22, after numerous hearings and a governor's warrant being issued, Motzer -- still stating his name was Disalvo -- waived extradition.
Wyoming County officers drove to West Virginia yesterday, picked up Motzer/Disalvo and transported him back to New York.
Motzer/Disalvo is now being held in Wyoming County Jail without bail.

I know someone who was silly
I know someone who was silly enough to marry an inmate. After the inmate's release from prison, NY state promptly sued his wife for support. They told her that he is now her dependent and she would have to pay for his rent, clothing, food, etc. She actually quit her job and they qualified for "assistance." Aint it a great system?

No Gary, Wyoming County did
No Gary, Wyoming County did the right thing, quite necessarily. I suppose any other county faced with this odd situation would do the same. This was the only "deal" that could be done under the circumstances.
My comment was intended to indicate that this person's shenanigans cost everyone on the right side of the law a great deal of hassle and expense, which I'm thinking was precisely his intention. And we get him in the unavoidable "bargain."

My first comment was not a personal attack but, a humorous remark on the situation. The second was but, that is because, that type of person is a scumbag.
