A Batavia man who admitted to assaulting a Sheriff's deputy and escaping arrest will serve four years in state prison for the assault.
Ryan L. Krupp, 24, will serve a concurrent 2-4 year term on the escape 2nd charge.
The maximum sentence Judge Robert C. Noonan could have imposed was seven years. Defense Attorney Jerry Ader asked for a minimum sentence of three years.
Ader noted that Krupp has previously completed substance abuse treatment and held a job, making him a candidate for a minimum sentence.
"When he makes the right decisions, they’re good decisions," Ader said.
If Krupp were not a second felony offender, the minimum sentence would have been two years.
Krupp said he was very sorry.
"If I could take it back, I sure would," Krupp said.
Noonan made very little comment before imposing the sentence.
Deputy Patrick Reeves suffered a minor ankle injury when Krupp reportedly shoved him out of the way while Reeves was arresting him on a warrant last October.
