Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn announces that 41-year-old Adam A. Jones of Buffalo was sentenced this morning before State Supreme Court Justice Betty Calvo-Torres to three years of probation.
On March 28, 2022, at approximately 3:02 a.m., the defendant, with the intent to cause damage to the property of another person, threw a partially completed pipe bomb through the front window of a home on Hillbrook Drive in the Town of Eden, which caused the window to break. The defendant threw the object, which appeared to be an explosive device, at the home with the intent to cause alarm.
Jones pleaded guilty to one count of Attempted Placing a False Bomb or Hazardous Substance in the Second Degree (Class “A” misdemeanor) on March 9, 2023. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge in full satisfaction of the indictment against him.
Today, Judge Calvo-Torres issued a final no-contact order of protection on behalf of the victims, which remains in effect for the next five years.
DA Flynn commends the Eden Police Department and the Erie County Sheriff’s Office for their work in this investigation.
The case was prosecuted by Chief Lauren Nash of the Justice Courts Bureau and Assistant District Attorney Christopher P. Jurusik of the Special Investigations and Prosecutions (SIP) Unit.
