4 Store Windows
Broken Overnight
25-Year-Old From Buffalo Charged
ONEONTA – A 25-year-old from Buffalo was arrested overnight and charged with breaking a plate glass window at Tino’s Pizza and two other downtown businesses.
Leonard P. Funderbunk was charged with three counts of criminal mischief, a class E felony.
Officers responded to a 2:55 a.m. call from concerned citizen reporting a disturbance and arrived to find a man holding down the suspect.
Windows were also broken at Tina Marie’s salon and the Oneonta Bagel Company. One business had two broken windows, and two businesses had one window each broken.
Witnesses and a review of downtown surveillance camera showed the suspect ran across Main Street several times, throwing he body into random windows, causing them to crack in a spider pattern. Police estimated it will cost $250 each to repair the windows.
Funderbunk was held at the Oneonta Police Department pending arraignment in the Oneonta City Court.
A maximum sentence for a person convicted of a class E felony is a term of incarceration not to exceed four years.
I would make everyone involved pay for replacing the broken windows and help with replacing them. Don’t just fine them make them do the repair and pay the fine. Another thing they should be made to clean up the streets so the city maintenance crew doesn’t have to
– this could be part of their fine.
What do they learn from getting a fine? Their parents are the ones who will be stuck so make these kids do the work.
let’s hope he gets a judge who will give him the max!! None of this poor little kid garbage!!
@Gene, poor little kid garbage? he’s a grown adult, 25. He should get the max, i agree
