CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) — While awaiting sentencing for an ATV theft in Cheektowaga, the Erie County District Attorney’s office says a resident of the town went out and committed more crimes.

Now, Mark Cepuchowski, 39, will spend 3 to 6 years in prison. Here’s a timeline of what the DA’s office says happened:

“Cepuchowski committed all three crimes while pending sentence in a separate criminal matter,” the DA’s office said.
