COBLESKILL – A Cobleskill man has been convicted on multiple misdemeanor charges stemming from two separate incidents last September in which he repeatedly contacted and threatened a protected witness in an ongoing criminal case.
Anthony Alfone, 32, was found guilty in Cobleskill Town Court after trial on charges that he violated a court-ordered stay-away-from order of protection and attempted to influence a witness through threats.
In the first incident, Alfone was convicted of Criminal Contempt in the Second Degree, a Class A misdemeanor. He was sentenced to a conditional discharge, ordered to pay a $100 fine, and required to submit a DNA sample along with a $50 DNA databank fee.
In the second incident, Alfone was convicted of Criminal Contempt in the Second Degree, Tampering with a Witness in the Fourth Degree, and Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree--all Class A misdemeanors. He was sentenced to three years of probation, 200 hours of community service, and ordered to pay a $100 fine, a $205 mandatory surcharge, and another $50 DNA databank fee.
The court also issued a three-year order of protection for the victim.
District Attorney Susan J. Mallery commended Assistant District Attorney Stephen C. Goble and New York State Police Troopers Lyga and Morgan for their work, noting their "thorough efforts in bringing these cases to a successful resolution."
