COURTS: Parole violation could send woman to prison

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal

A Ransomville woman who admitted to a parole violation Wednesday in Niagara County Court could get up to four years in state prison.

Valerie Finach was originally on parole for a class E felony for substance abuse.

Finach, represented by public defender Michael E. Benedict, was given the opportunity by Judge Matthew Murphy III to participate in a substance abuse program at her previous hearing in the summer, but was rearrested when she failed to appear at Alcoholics Anonymous and report to probation in July and again in September.

Finach said before she went to AA, she had asked officials to use the pay phone at the program complex to call someone and was immediately arrested for an unknown reason, causing her to miss the AA meeting.

“That’s not what I read on the report,” Murphy said, but did not explain further in court.

Finach admitted to continuously using alcohol and said she did not answer the door of her residence when her probation officer sought after her.

Finach was ordered by Murphy to use the substance abuse program at least once a week while in the Niagara County Jail. Sentencing for Finach is Dec. 16.
