LOCKPORT – Johnny W. Collins, a Niagara Falls cocaine dealer who absconded in 2006 while on interim probation instead of showing up for final sentencing, was ordered to Niagara County Jail for a year Wednesday.
“Originally, this probably would have been a probation case,” County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said.
Collins, 56, had pleaded guilty in 2005 to fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and was placed on one year of interim probation by then-County Judge Peter L. Broderick Sr. on Jan. 19, 2006. Collins had admitted selling cocaine in the Falls on May 14, 2005.
