Parolee who complained to Noonan in 2010 about sentence arrested in Le Roy after being stabbed

When Brandon C. Dodd, who thought he might get a term of probation on a burglary conviction, was sentenced to five years in prison by Judge Robert C. Noonan in September, 2010, Dodd mumbled something about pedophiles as he was leaving the courtroom.

Noonan called him back to the defense table and asked him to repeat his statement.

"I hope you continue to let all the pedophiles walk the street and save all of the probation for those people," Dodd said.

Noonan informed Dodd that his on-the-record statement would be something a parole board would likely consider someday in reviewing his status for release from prison.

Dodd was released on parole in August.

Today, he's also back in jail, accused of attacking a woman in an apartment on Lake Street in Le Roy.

Three days ago, police in Le Roy said a 29-year-old parolee had been stabbed and found him wounded on Lake Street.

They've now identified Dodd as the stabbing victim.

It's alleged that Dodd was in an apartment on Lake Street with an acquaintance when an argument ensued. Dodd allegedly grabbed both a metal pot and a vase and started swinging them at the woman. He then allegedly threw her on a bed and held her there. Somehow, the woman grabbed a knife and stabbed him.

The disturbance was heard by a neighbor, who called 9-1-1.

Upon arrival, police reportedly found Dodd hiding under a bed. He was taken into custody on a violation of probation charge and transported to a hospital for treatment of his stab wound and then turned over to the NYS Department of Parole.

Dodd allegedly removed an ankle bracelet he was required to wear and has been charged with criminal mischief, 4th, for damaging that state property. He was charged with petit larceny for allegedly disposing of the bracelet.

He's also charged with criminal possession of a weapon, 3rd, for using the pot and vase as weapons while being previously convicted of a crime, criminal mischief, 4th, for allegedly damaging the woman's mobile phone and unlawful imprisonment, 2nd.

He is being held in the Genesee County Jail without bail on the violation of probation charge.

or........ maybe some woman attacked him with a knife and he was attempting to protect himself with a metal pot and vase. You can protect yourself even if you made a smart ass remark to a court, right?

As an impartial observer, he was attacked a few times and just trying to defend himself. I guess if you are on parol, you can be stabbed and better not defend yourself against a person who had attacked him a few times in the past...

Mary, if as you say, he was attacked by this person before, and he still went over anyway, it's hard to feel sorry for him. And everyone on Parole who has that bracelet, knows not to let it come off and go nowhere if it does. Period, no excuse.

He thought he was going back to jail for the times she had attacked him because you are not supposed to have police contact on parole. She would come and bang on his door all night, drunk out of her mind, beat on him and another guy,, until the landlord here got a order of protection stay away order.She'd also leave her little boys alone to do so. All I ever saw was her attacking him over and over.
