Stacharczyck is one of 20 KMC members and associates charged
in this case. To date, 16 have been convicted, including National President
David Pirk, who was recently convicted following a four-month jury trial.
Charges remain pending against five other defendants. The fact that the
defendants have been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the
defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The plea is the culmination of an investigation led by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Safe Streets Task Force, under the direction
of Special Agent-in-Charge Gary Loeffert. Assisting in the investigation were
the following: the FBI Knoxville, TN, and Jacksonville, FL Field Offices;
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations; the Erie
County Sheriff’s Office; the Buffalo Police Department; the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the New York State Police; the Olean Police
Department; the Lancaster Police Department; the Amherst Police Department; the
City of North Tonawanda Police Department; the Niagara Frontier Transportation
Authority Police; the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department; and the Hamburg
Police Department. Sentencing is scheduled for December 12, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.
before Judge Wolford.
