Olean: City inmate dies, police dispatcher will likely get a walk for negligence
It appears as if an Olean Police Dispatcher will get a pass
after an inmate killed himself while she was charged with monitoring him.
According to a Times Herald report, the case against 55-year-old Lorraine
Sloane could be dismissed by next April. The inmate committed suicide and
authorities said the dispatcher lied on an inmate check-in form. The special
prosecutor said it was a difficult case to prove. A State investigation
continues into the death.
