Farrell said that Letohic admitted to robbing another man by threatening him with a knife and taking $800 in US currency from him in June of 2014 in the Town of Mamakating. The victim was not injured. Letohic also admitted to burglarizing an unoccupied residence on Red Hill Road in Mamakating on June 26, 2014, and stealing appliances and copper pipe from the residence.

Letohic was arrested on October 30, 2014, after an investigation by the New York State Police. Farrell said “The sentence handed down today on this robbery and burglary underscores my office’s continues commitment to holding individuals who engage in this type of behavior responsible and accountable for their actions with state prison sentences. The New York State Police did a complete and thorough investigation of these crimes and I thank them for their professionalism and diligence in making sure that the person responsible for these crimes was brought to justice.”

Letohic was also ordered to pay $1,900 in restitution and orders of protection were issued for the victims.
