Brandon R. Fogg, 32, of Liberty St., Batavia, pleaded guilty to menacing 1st degree, a class E felony, in Genesee County Court on Friday afternoon.
Fogg appeared with Public Defender Jamie Welch and waived indictment and admitted that on June 5, 2019 he intentionally put a person, Officer Darryle Streeter, in danger by displaying a black imitation BB pistol during an altercation with Officer Streeter on Ellicott street near Cedar street about 12:30a.m.
Officer Darryle Streeter had observed Fogg in the passenger seat of the vehicle being operated with an illegal tire and conducted a traffic stop as Fogg was wanted in a trespassing incident.
During the stop, Fogg attempted to flee from Officer Streeter.
Officer Streeter was able to take Fogg to the ground, where he began to fight with Officer Streeter.
Fogg then removed a black handgun from his pocket and tried to turn it toward Officer Streeter. An employee of a local business observed the struggle and was able to step on the wrist of Fogg which made him lose his grip on the gun. Officer Streeter was then able to take Fogg into custody.
Fogg will continue to be held without bail and sentencing is set for August 1, 2019 at 3:15p.m. in Genesee County Court.
