GOSHEN- A 38-year-old Unionville man was sentenced in Orange County Court on Tuesday to eight years in state prison followed by five years of post-release supervision in connection with his previous guilty plea to burglary.
It is alleged that on May 10, 2023 at about noon, Jesse Frank kicked down the door of a tenant in a home in the Village of Unionville while armed with a knife.
Once inside, he allegedly threatened to kill the occupant and struck the victim near the eye with the weapon. During the struggle, the victim sustained a broken orbital bone and a cut to the hand before being able to run out of the bedroom and flagging down a passing motorist who called 911.
After Frank was taken into custody, he admitted the incident to the police and said he was attempting to take the victim’s eye out.
