BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- A Town of Tonawanda man received a split sentence Tuesday for stabbing a victim last June outside a Colvin Boulevard tavern, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced.
Zachery S. Meer, 30, was sentenced to six months in jail followed by five years of probation, officials said.
