Buffalo Man Charged With Assaulting Federal Officers, Damaging Gov’t Property
A Buffalo man has been charged with assaulting federal officers and damaging government property after a high-speed chase in the city.
According to court documents, Kevin Allen Jr., 38, of Buffalo, New York, is accused of ramming his vehicle into two United States Deputy Marshals’ cars on November 1, 2016, while they were attempting to pull him over on Kilhoffer Street.
The Marshals, who were not injured, sustained extensive damage to their vehicles. Allen, who was a fugitive at the time, was driving a vehicle that was later found to have been used in a string of crimes in the area.
The indictment, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Marshals Service, under the direction of Marshal Charles Salina.
Assistant U.S. Attorney George C. Burgasser is handling the case, which is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York. Contact Barbara Burns at (716) 843-5817 for more information.
