BINGHAMTON, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – A Binghamton man is heading to prison for tampering with his ankle monitor.
Today in Broome County Court, 30-year-old Dominick Howe pled guilty to felony Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree.
In December of 2022, Howe cut off the monitor and damaged it.

“Defendant Howe was given an opportunity to avoid State prison but chose to violate the conditions set by the Broome County Department of Probation. Felons do not get unlimited chances in Broome County,” said Michael A. Korchak, Broome County District Attorney.
