GASPORT MAN GETS 10 YEARS IN PRISON

On Wednesday a Gasport man was sentenced to 10 years in state prison by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Sperrazza.

John Corra, 33, will also receive 5 years of post release supervision.

Corra pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree burglary last month. He was arrested in December of 2010 for breaking in to a Newfane home where, while wearing a mask, he hit the homeowner with a baseball bat before he tied up the victim and his wife with a vacuum cleaner cord.

Corra then took the homeowner’s SUV and was caught by deputies after a car and foot chase.
